Ashes 2023 3rd Test Live Updates: England were set a target of 251 to win the third Ashes Test at Headingley on Saturday after dismissing Australia for 224 in their second innings. Stuart Broad (3-45) and Chris Woakes ( 3-68) did the bulk of the damage on a rain-marred third day after Australia resumed their second innings on 116-4. In reply, at stumps England were 27 for no loss in five overs with Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley holding fort. No play was possible in the first two sessions of the day and Ashes holders Australia were indebted to Travis Head’s 77 in an innings where the next highest score was Usman Khawaja’s 43. England have to win this Test to keep their Ashes hopes alive in a five-game series. Ben Stokes’s men are bidding to become just the second team in history to win a Test campaign from 0-2 down after an Australia side inspired by batting great Don Bradman overturned that deficit to take the 1936-37 Ashes 3-2. Australia, meanwhile, require just one more victory for their first Ashes series win in England in 22 years.Read Less
