Ben Stokes' frustration boiled over after his dismissal on Day 3 of the third Ashes Test against Australia, as captured in a viral video. The England captain's angry reaction followed a superb delivery from Mitchell Starc that shattered his stumps, ending a crucial innings of 86 runs.

Stokes' dismissal was a significant blow to England, who were attempting to reduce Australia's first-innings lead. He had formed a vital 100-run partnership with Jofra Archer, who contributed 51, helping England reach 286 in response to Australia's 371. Stokes' innings was a fighting knock that included some brilliant shots, but ultimately fell short of a century after Starc's in-swinger breached his defense.

Video footage shows Stokes jumping in frustration and shouting at himself immediately after the dismissal. This raw display of emotion underscores the high stakes and intense pressure of the Ashes series. Starc, known for his aggressive bowling, celebrated the crucial wicket with a thunderous roar, further highlighting the significance of the moment. This marked the 12th time Starc has dismissed Stokes in Test matches, with Stokes averaging just 18.6 against the Australian.

The dismissal occurred after Stokes and Archer had begun to counterpunch, with Archer lofting Nathan Lyon for a six. Stokes had earlier reached his half-century off 159 balls, his slowest in Test cricket, but a vital contribution nonetheless.

Earlier in the day, Stokes had been instrumental in England's fightback, partnering with Archer to frustrate the Australian bowlers. The pair's record 106-run stand for the ninth wicket revived England's hopes after a dismal showing on Day 2. Stokes even hit a boundary off Boland in an attempt to accumulate as many runs as possible before the new ball arrived.

The day was not without other controversies. A Snicko incident involving Jamie Smith's dismissal had already sparked anger within the England camp, with captain Stokes reportedly expressing his displeasure to the umpires. The England team felt the spike on Snicko did not coincide with the ball passing the bat, leading to questions about the reliability of the technology.

At the time of reporting, Australia's lead had stretched to 159, with Travis Head and Usman Khawaja unbeaten in the second session. Australia were 72 for 2, with Jack Weatherald and Marnus Labuschagne dismissed. Australia currently lead the series 2-0, meaning that England need a win to keep their hopes of regaining the Ashes alive.
