Stokes to Carey, 3 runs, Alex Carey has notched up a magnificent hundred under pressure, arriving at the crease at a testing moment after Australia lost a couple of wickets in quick succession. Calm yet assertive, he counterattacked with authority to wrest momentum back in the hosts’ favour. While Usman Khawaja was unfortunate to fall short of a century, Carey made sure there were no such regrets. He has raised his hundred to a standing ovation from the Adelaide crowd, with his teammates applauding warmly from the dressing room; a richly deserved reward for an innings defined by composure, intent, and class. Drives it through covers and takes three runs to get there. Removes his helmet to celebrate the moment as Starc gives him a hug. Replays confirm Carse did a fine job to save a boundary in the deep, flicked the ball back in play just before the cushions. An emotional moment in the stands as Carey’s wife, Eloise, is moved to tears while watching the milestone unfold..
