The highly anticipated third Ashes Test match between England and Australia is scheduled to be held at Headingley Cricket Ground in Leeds from July 6 to July 10. Australia currently holds a commanding 2-0 lead in the series, having emerged victorious in the previous Test matches played in Birmingham and London. Despite their recent dominance over England in Test cricket, Australia will face the Headingley Test without the services of the injured Nathan Lyon.
On the other hand, the Ben Stokes-led England side has already announced their playing eleven for the third Test. Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, and Mark Wood have been included in the team, replacing Ollie Pope, James Anderson, and Josh Tongue respectively. The changes in the lineup aim to bolster England’s performance and turn the tide in their favor as they seek to make a comeback in the series.
On the day 1 of the third Ashes test at Headingley, Mitch Marsh marked his test comeback in style by smashing a remarkable century. Australia dominated the first day, ending the day with a lead of 195 runs over England. Marsh’s aggressive and rapid-fire knock of 118 rescued Australia from a precarious position of 85-4. His partnership with Travis Head added 155 runs, while the rest of the team managed 108 runs combined.
However, after Marsh’s dismissal just before tea at 240-5, Australia experienced a dramatic collapse and were eventually bowled out for 263, with fast bowler Mark Wood making an impactful return with figures of 5-34. Marsh continued his stellar performance by claiming England’s third wicket, dismissing Zac Crawley. At the end of play, England stood at 68-3, trailing by 195 runs, with Joe Root on 19 and Jonny Bairstow on 1, as the battle resumes on the day 2.
