Ashes 2023: ENG vs AUS 3rd Test: Ben Stokes-led England will face Pat Cummins’ Australia in the 3rd match of the ongoing Ashes 2023 at the Headingly in Leeds on July 6th, 2023. The five-day ENG vs AUS match will begin at 3:30 PM Indian Standard Time (IST).
England and the entire management will be under the pump during the impending ENG vs AUS 3rd test match at Headingley as the hosts hope to remain alive in the five-match series, which seems to be leaning towards the Australians after winning the first two fixtures.
Australia defeated England in the opening two test games at Birmingham and Lord’s respectively, ridiculing England’s plan to suppress Australia with a new brand of play called “Bazball”.
It can be said that somehow scoring quick runs in test cricket have somehow helped them, but in the process, the batters have thrown their wickets playing impulsive shots, which certainly hasn’t gone in the favour of the Englishmen.
The third Ashes test between England and Australia will be a do-or-die fixture. A win or a draw would keep them breathing in the five-game series, however, a loss would mean that the visitors will lift the iconic title for the second time in a row.
