England vs Australia, 4th Ashes Test, Day 3: Mark Wood Strikes After Jonny Bairstow Runs Riot
Fast bowler Mark Wood took three wickets after Jonny Bairstow pulverised Australia with a thrilling 99 not out as England strengthened their grip on a must-win fourth Test at Old Trafford on Friday. Australia were 113-4 in their second innings at stumps on the third day, still 162 runs behind England's huge first-innings 592. Durham express quick Wood had stumps figures of 3-17 from just seven overs, a return that included the 100th Test wicket of his injury-blighted career. England, at 2-1 down with two to play, have to win in Manchester if they are to stand a chance of regaining the Ashes. Wicketkeeper Bairstow followed his blistering 81 ball-assault on Australia's bowlers, which included 10 fours and four sixes, by holding a routine edge off Wood as Australia lost Usman Khawaja early in their innings.
