England's pace attack, led by Josh Tongue's five-wicket haul, dismissed Australia for 152 runs on Day 1 of the fourth Ashes Test at the MCG. Despite having already lost the series, England displayed renewed vigor, aiming to break an 18-match winless streak in Australia. Key Australian batsmen struggled, with Usman Khawaja and Alex Carey falling early, leaving the team in a precarious position before a brief partnership offered some resistance.
