Australia and England clash in the 3rd Ashes Test. Controversy surrounds Smith's dismissal as England face a significant deficit. Follow live scores.


The third Ashes Test between Australia and England continues at the Adelaide Oval. Australia, after a solid first day, reached 326/8, largely thanks to Alex Carey's century. They will look to add to that total, aiming to surpass 350 on what appears to be a favorable batting surface. This total presents a significant challenge for England, requiring them to demonstrate resilience with the bat.

England faces the immediate task of taking the remaining two Australian wickets, especially with the new ball in their possession. A strong start to their innings will be crucial. Building partnerships and steadily accumulating runs will be key. England's established style of play should allow them to maintain a healthy scoring rate without resorting to risky or unorthodox tactics, often referred to as 'Bazball'.

This Test in Adelaide represents a critical opportunity for England to revive their series hopes. Can they capitalize and close the gap?
