Finally, England is looking very strong in this match and now there should be no excuse with them for not winning this won. They scored 93 for 3 wickets down but only need 158 more runs to register their first win in this match.

The opener Zak Crawley played well and made the one end safe while wickets kept falling at other end. Now he is also out when England is at the score of 93 but i am sure that remaining English batsmen would achieve this target and there will be no more drama again in this test match.

In this Test series, there is a good chance for England to keep the series alive, as Australia has already won two Tests and apart from today's Test there will be two more Tests where England have a good chance to level the series. It can be assumed that England can win today's match because if they form a big partnership then scoring 132 runs in today's match will not be very challenging for England. As Harry Brook and Joe Root have put together a 26-run partnership and they will want to turn this partnership into bigger runs. However, expect England to bounce back in their series and win today's match as England have learned a lot from their past mistakes which are going to result in this Test match.

England have been playing good for now. Stokes and Brook on the crease makes it a winning match. Four wickets lost, but the requirement is just 98 runs. Some quick wickets is necessary for Australia, and England is maintaining 5+ rpo. Probably England will win the match by the second session of the day. By the end of session 1 England have scored 153/4

England's chances of winning this match are slightly higher. But it cannot be said for sure that England will win. England still needs 99 runs to win. England collected 153 runs losing 4 wickets. Zak Crawley was dismissed for 44 runs. Harry Brooks and Ben Stokes are now batting. Harry Brooks remains unbeaten with 40 runs. Ben Stokes is in good form. England's team will win if Ben Stokes performs a bit better in today's match. I am optimistic about England's victory in this match. But if Stokes does not play well, there is a possibility of defeat for England. Because no other England batsman's performance is regular now except Stokes.

England is batting at a target of 251 runs in the third Test series between England and Australia. England need 98 runs to win with 6 wickets in hand. The fourth wicket pair of Joe Root and Harry Book was batting in ODI style. Their partnership was trying to build up but Joe Root was sent back to the dugout by Alex Carey caught by Pat Cummings. There is no option for England to win to save the series. Now the lunch break is on and anything can happen in the second session. Let's enjoy what happens at the last minute and see if any drama takes shape in the third Test.

Australia were on track for winning the Ashes series, but in the third test, England put up a strong fight and turned the tables. Now, Australia is relying on taking more wickets to maintain their advantage. If they can get 1-2 quick wickets, it's going to make things exciting. Personally, I wish the scoreline 1-2 today. For Harry Brooks needs to step up and take responsibility, and a solid partnership is crucial after his side losing six wickets.

One thing I didn't realize was that England's batting line-up was so weak that a sure win was going to slip away at the last minute. Especially if Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow could have helped Harry Brook a little, England would have had a chance to win. Harry Brook, however, remains uncharted with 48 so far. If the batsmen in England's lower order can give Harry Brook a medium partnership then England definitely have a chance to retain the series. Australia are on a roll at the moment and if they can get England's two batsmen out very quickly then it can be said that Australia will seal the series.

Ashes's scoreboard is inching towards 1-2, at least that should be the end result.

Not expecting any twist but you never know with England's batting. The good thing is, today Poms didn't throw away their wicket, bowlers had to earn each one so kudos to Starc despite him being expensive all the time. Left seam bowlers are really luxury in the playing XI

 

[LFC_Bitcoin]

2-1 in the Series now, Australia’s lead is cut in half.

Well done England, some great batting by the mid to lower order to get them over the line.

On to Old Trafford we go!

[3kpk3]

Hell yeah! England finally pulled off a win thanks to some epic stuff by Brook, great bowling and the tail-enders. Wood and Woakes(W & W) turned out to be excellent additions to the team since they helped their team grab a W.

This series just got a whole lot more interesting. Am hoping for England to win the next one so that the final match will end up being the decider.

Chris Woakes and Mark Wood took England to victory, Mark Wood was instrumental in this match with 7 wickets and scoring some crucial runs and the English fans will be jubilant as they were predicting a come back victory from behind and winning the series even in the media and even in a hypothetical situation if that becomes true, they will blow the roof off for a week  .

Harry Brook the Hero of the second innings.
Mark Wood the best player in the 3rd test for collecting 7 wickets.
Mark Wood & Chris woakes finishers of the innings.

The third Test was England's honor-saving and series-saving Test match, which England won 2–1 to reserve the series for the next match and create ample opportunity to level the series.

TBH after the fall of Bairstow's wicket it did once looked as if England might not be able to complete the chase, but the way Woakes batted was magnificent, almost like a proper all-rounder like Ben stokes. And even mark wood after that ensure that England do cross the finish line, I would say extra runs added by Mark wood in both the innings were very important also not to mention 7 wickets.

Ben Stokes tried his best, and Woakes did it well in the third test match. This match too could've gone from the hands of England if one more wicket have fallen. At the right time Woakes did the best, and made this match a winning one. Even the first two matches were almost a winning match for England and they missed it for some reason. Finally a big win and helped them keep the series alive.

[Haunebu]

What a series! Am actually enjoying this tests a whole lot more thanks to Bazball which is why McCullum deserves a lot more credit for adopting such a gutsy approach in this specific format.

Who in the world would have expected a tail-ender like Wood to hit sixes when they were under extreme pressure? He and Woakes saved their team while players like Bairstow keep screwing their team.

Also, some crazy statistics!

In every match, we have seen great performances from Ben Stokes. But apart from Stokes, the England team lost both the previous matches due to the poor performance of any of England's batsmen. However, although Stokes played well in the first innings of this match, he scored only 13 runs in the second innings. But the performances of Zak Crawley, Harry Brook, and Woakes were very good. The responsible batting of these three batsmen helped England to win. After consecutive defeats in two Test matches, England won one match. It is expected that the next two matches will be very competitive.

[Patrol69]

Many congratulations to England for pulling off a three-wicket win in an important match. England had to win this match to stay in the series, so the equation was not that simple for them before the start. There was no room for mistakes here, if they did, England would have lost the series. England still maintain the dream of winning the series by winning the third match. With only two matches remaining in the series, if England can win the next match, the fifth Test will be the final match to decide the series. I would like England to win the fourth test and the fifth test to be a very competitive match so that we can enjoy these matches.

[TheSpiral]

Finally England able to book victory over Australia in j this Ashes series. Australia batting in this match was not too good like they played in previous two matches. I think England bowlers now find the key to take quick wickets. Harry brook inining was interesting one. The way he played was just like ODI. His fantastic 75 of 93 gives england score speed to chase target easily. Now Series is 2-1 and next gane will be interesting one and both team will be enter in the ground with new strategy.

Yes, true as with this win , the interest of the series will remain intact. This is good for the host nation, good for the spectators and also good for the advertisers too.  

Australia are still in advantage with a lead of 2-1, which means that they will get one more chance in the 4th test match to win the series, in case of another Aussie loss, we will have final.

The next test will start in 10 days time at Manchester on July 19th.

It was a bowling track and no team was able to score high runs in both innings. England too struggled to chase 250 runs target and lost 7 wickets while chasing this small target. Nonetheless its a sign of relief for England as series is still open for them. 10 days is quite a long break and will help both teams to regroup. For England Mark Wood is a great entry and he will definitely a big help for rest of the series.
