Australian captain Pat Cummins bowled a potentially game-changing over on Day 5 of the fourth Ashes Test on Sunday. With England's pair of Jonny Bairstow and Jos Buttler looking in prime position to secure a draw for the side, Cummins broke the gritty partnership by first removing the wicketkeeper-batter on 11, and then bowled a belter of a delivery to dismiss Mark Wood in the same over.
England were given a 388-run target to win in Sydney but quick wickets in the morning session potentially ended all hopes for the visitors to end a dismal losing streak, which extended to three games in the current Ashes series.
Watch the stunning two deliveries from Cummins here:
Cummins trapped Buttler leg-before with a full delivery angling into the right-hander, as the England batter attempted to play with a straight bat but missed the line completely.

Earlier, Joe Root and Ben Stokes ground it out in the middle to frustrate Australia in the second session on Day 5 of the fourth Test. At the tea break, England's score read 174/4 with Stokes and Bairstow at the crease. However, Nathan Lyon struck the breakthrough in the final session when he dismissed Stokes with a delivery which turned sharply away from the left-hander, as the England batter nicked the delivery towards slip.
The second session on Day 5 got off to a delayed start due to rain and almost 50 minutes were lost due to rain and wet outfield.
