AUS vs ENG – 3rd Test Scoreboard
TOSS – Australia
Australia won the toss and opted to bat against Australia.
Preview
The Ashes could be decided within days at an Adelaide Oval furnace where England’s hopes of wresting back the urn will fire anew or flame out entirely against a strengthened Australia.
Trailing 2-0 after eight-wicket defeats in Perth and Brisbane, Ben Stokes’ team must win the match starting on Wednesday or become the fourth touring England squad in succession to crash out after three Tests.
Only one team has ever pulled off a series win from a 2-0 deficit in nearly 150 years of Test cricket – Don Bradman’s Australia in the 1936-37 Ashes.
Outplayed with bat, ball and in the field this series, England will need the grit of Bradman’s battlers to create their own history.
Stokes is adamant his team can rally, having led it from 2-0 down in the 2023 Ashes to draw the series 2-2. Australia, as holder, kept the urn anyway.
Former England players have been aghast at the squad’s lack of match practice.
The sight of England players necking beers in the holiday hotspot of Noosa Heads last week, straight after their Brisbane thrashing, may have been hard for fans to take, even if the trip was long planned.
