    What's the story

    Australian skipper Pat Cummins bowled with sheer authority to claim his best bowling figures in The Ashes.

    His figures of 6/91 came in the first innings of the third Test at Headingley.

    Cummins ran through the England batting order, bundling them for 237.

    His spell kept Australia ahead in the game by 26 runs as the visitors posted 263 in the first innings.

    Spell

    A brilliant bowling display from Cummins

    Cummins struck early in the England innings as he dismissed Ben Duckett in the four over. He then removed Harry Brook in no time in the sixth over.

    Returning on Day 2, Cummins struck in his second ball as he dismissed the dangerous Joe Root followed by the wicket of Moeen Ali.

    He completed his six-fer by removing Mark Wood and Stuart Broad.

    Record

    Cummins has dismissed Root 10 times in Tests

    Cummins has deceived Root as many as 10 times in Test cricket. No other bowler has dismissed Root this many times in this format.

    Across 27 innings, Root has slammed 226 runs against Cummins while falling prey to him 10 times.

    Although Cummins has a good record, Root's average against him is 47.88.

    Notably, Cummins has dismissed him twice in the last two innings.
