England captain Ben Stokes sustained a right adductor (groin) injury during the fourth day of the fifth Ashes Test in Sydney. He left the field after bowling ten deliveries in Australia's first innings, with vice-captain Harry Brook taking over leadership duties. Stokes' injury adds to England's tour woes, which have been marked by several other fast bowler injuries. Australia finished their first innings with a lead of 183 runs. Stokes was later confirmed to bat in England's second innings, likely lower down the order.
