Marylebone Cricket Club members who verbally abused Australian players during the second Ashes Test at Lord's have brought "shame" on the institution, according to the chairman.
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.
Mitchell Marsh's run-a-ball 118 was the cornerstone of Australia's 263 all out on the first day of the third Ashes Test at Headingley on Thursday after the tourists collapsed either side of his blistering century. England fast bowler Mark Wood took 5-34 as the hosts backed up captain Ben Stokes' decision to send Australia into bat on a green-tinged pitch after winning the toss. Australia skipper Pat Cummins then reduced England to 22-2 before all-rounder Marsh, playing his first Test in nearly four years, had Zak Crawley (33) well caught at first slip by David Warner in the latest example of the tourists' superior fielding. At stumps, England were 68-3 -- a deficit of 195 runs -- with Joe Root 19 not out and Jonny Bairstow one not out on their Yorkshire home ground.

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.
LEEDS, England: Mitchell Marsh came in from the cold to hit a sensational century and drag Australia back into the third Ashes test at Headingley on Thursday (Jul 6), steering the tourists through to 240-5 at tea.
Australian batter Steve Smith is all geared up to achieve a milestone in his career as he is playing his 100th test match in Headingley on Thursday. Ahead of the game, Smith shared a story on his Instagram handle "Special shirt for my 100th Test". Steve Smith has performed well so far in the series. In 99 matches, Smith has scored 9,113 runs with an average of 59.56. He has scored 32 centuries and 37 half-centuries. Only 15 cricketers are part of Australia's "hundred club," but Smith will join an even more restricted group as one of only three hitters in the history of the sport to have played 50 or more Tests and averaged at least 59.
Fast bowler Mark Wood made a memorable return to the England team as he bowled one of the fastest opening spells in Test cricket in recent times on Thursday.
