Mitchell Starc limped out of the third Test between Australia and New Zealand due to an apparent recurrence of his chronic ankle injury.

Starc began cricket's historic first day/night Test in magnificent form, taking 3-24 from nine overs, despite looking uncomfortable at the crease.

He eventually limped off midway through the middle session.

The left-armer has struggled with bone spurs in his right ankle since the Ashes, and has since been ruled out for the remainder of the Test with what appears to be a stress fracture in his right foot. 

 He will not take any further part in the historic day/night Test at the Adelaide Oval, however news on whether he will return this summer has not been confirmed.
