England beat Australia in the 3rd Ashes Test at Headingley by 3 wickets, a superb knock of 75 by Brook & vital contributions by Crawley 44 & Woakes 32no led England to victory. The 4th Ashes Test begins on Wednesday 19th July at Old Trafford. What will be intresting is, if Jimmy Anderson gets a recall at his home ground or if England will go with the same attack that helped England skittle Australia out in the 1st innings for 263 & the 2nd innings for 224. Ollie Robinson will make way for Jimmy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owl4ever1867 Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 What a cracking day for England, totally dominated the Aussies from minute 1. England 1st innings 384/4 Thanks to a wonderful innings by Zak Crawley who made 189 before being defeated by the bounce & bowled by Green, he deserved his double century today, he was superbly backed up by Joe Root (84) who was also defeated by the bounce late in the day & was bowled by Hazeldine. Brook 14* & Stokes 24* guided England through to the end of day. I can see these two putting there foot down in the morning & hopefully putting some runs on before the good old English weather comes in. England lead Australia by 67 runs with 6 wickets left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
