Steve Smith had the last laugh in his newly evoked rivalry on Day 4 of the third Test of the Ashes 2023 series at Headingley Cricket Stadium on Sunday. Australia and England's encounter at Headingley have never disappointed in the entertainment aspect and even this time it lived up to the expectations. On Day 2 of the highly engaging third Test, Jonny Bairstow took a slight dig at Australia's Steve Smith after his dismissal.
A rather bizarre claim was made during the third Ashes Test between England and Australia, with the hosts' former skipper Alastair Cook suggesting Aussie wicket-keeper batter Alex Carey didn't pay a barber after getting a haircut. Cook's claims went viral, and the subject became a huge talking point, with Australia star Steve Smith also getting into the debate and suggesting that the stumper didn't even get a haircut. After Cook's claims turned out to be false, he issued an apology, saying it was probably a case of mistaken identity.
Former India opener Aakash Chopra recently gave his take on 'Fab 4', a term used for the group of top-batters of Test cricket in the current generation. 'Fab 4' features the likes of Australia opener Steve Smith, former England skipper Joe Root, New Zealand batter Kane Williamson, and star India batter Virat Kohli. Since 2020, there has been a dip in Kohli's performance as he has been able to get only one century in the longest format. Chopra stated that looking at the current situation, Kohli should not be named in 'Fab 4'.
Star Australia batter Steve Smith is furious with a report in a British tabloid that his teammate Alex Carey did not pay the barber after a haircut at a shop in Leeds. The Sun carried the report. However, Smith wrote on his Threads account: "I can confirm that Alex Carey has not had a haircut since we were in London. Get your facts right The Sun." Since Jonny Bairtsow's controversial dismissal in the second Ashes Test, things have taken a wrong turn for the two sides. The Australia side was heavily booed by the Leeds crowd during the third Test.
England’s hunt for Australian wickets was halted by the weather at Headingley, with the threat of a washout on day three of the third Ashes Test.
Moeen Ali said England have a "good chance" to win the third Ashes Test against Australia after a thrilling second day at Headingley left the match finely-poised.
The ongoing third Ashes Test between England and Australia is getting more intense with every passing day. Opting to bowl first, England bundled out Australia for 263 on the first day but the visitors whole-heartedly retaliated and bowled out the hosts for 237 on Day 2. Later in the day, Australia lost four wickets with 116 runs on the board at stumps. Despite all this action, one thing which grabbed a lot of limelight was the tensed moment which occurred between Steve Smith and Jonny Bairstow on Friday.
England captain Ben Stokes's dynamic 80, his latest dashing innings kept the hosts' Ashes hopes alive before Moeen Ali struck twice in quick succession in the third Test against Australia at Headingley on Friday. Australia were 116-4 in their second innings at stumps on the second day, a lead of 142 runs, as they looked to go 3-0 up in the five-match series and secure a first Ashes campaign triumph in England since 2001. Mitchell Marsh, who had already marked his first Test in nearly four years with a brilliant run-a-ball 118 in Australia's first-innings 263, was 17 not out, with Travis Head unbeaten on 18.
