Mitchell Starc to Kyle Mayers, SIX! A bit of calypso magic in that one. Pitched up on off stump, Kyle Mayers just stands tall and thumps it right back over the bowler's head. The ball flies over the ropes for a maximum.

Mitchell Starc to Kyle Mayers, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Oh, my God! Mitchell Starc has taken an absolute blinder of a return catch and Kyle Mayers cannot believe it. Starc serves a low full toss, angling in from around off and at over 141 clicks. Mayers punches it firmly back towards the bowler. The ball goes to just the right of Starc who sticks out his left hand on the followthrough and manages to somehow grasp it. A bit of magic has provided Australia an early breakthrough here.
