Moeen Ali struck twice in quick succession in the third Test against Australia at Headingley on Friday after England captain Ben Stokes's dynamic 80, his latest dashing innings, had kept the hosts' Ashes hopes alive.
LEEDS, England : Key wickets late in the day helped put England in with a chance of staying in contention in the Ashes series in their must-win second test, Australia finishing day two on 116-4 with a second-innings lead of 142.
England's former captain Nasser Hussain seemed disappointed with the missing chances by the English team on the field against Australia in the third test match of the Ashes series. On the first day of the third test, England continued to let down with their on-field performance. Jonny Bairstow dropped catches behind the stumps of Steve Smith and Travis Head while Joe Root filed to catch Mitchell Marsh at 12 runs. Marsh then scored 118 runs in the match. Hussain told Sky Sports Cricket that dropping catches is like a "virus", it spreads through the team.
LEEDS, England :Captain Ben Stokes continued to perform heroics as he single-handedly guided England to a more respectable 237 all out in their first innings on day two of the third Ashes test on Friday, before Australia moved on to 29-1 in reply at tea.
LEEDS, England : England's hopes once again lay with Ben Stokes as the captain remained at the crease following the morning session on day two of the third Ashes test on Friday, with the hosts struggling on 142-7 at lunch, trailing Australia by 121 runs.
Australia and England got down to action yet again in the third Ashes Test after a controversial dismissal of Jonny Bairstow, in the second Ashes Test, looked to sour the contest. Bairstow's stumping by Alex Carey off Cameron Green's bowling was widely covered and divided opinions. While many people opined that it was within the laws of the game, many former players thought that the spirit of cricket was not upheld. The repercussions of that incident was felt in the third Test too as the Leeds crowd vociferously trolled and booed almost every other Australian batter's departure.
A high-octane day of Test cricket saw England blow Australia away for 263, only for the tourists to reduce the home side to 68 for 3 at stumps on day one at Headingley. After winning the toss, England captain Ben Stokes had no hesitation in asking Australia to bat first.
