England will take on Australia in the 3rd Test of the Ashes 2023 at the Headingley Cricket Ground, Leeds, from Thursday (6 July) morning.
The England Team is on the back foot, trailing by 2-0 in the five-match series to Australia after defeats at Edgbaston and Lord's in the first two Tests. The loss margin was close in both matches (2 wickets and 43 runs). Ollie Pope has an injured shoulder and is out of the series.
On the other hand, Australia held their nerves well against the batting masterclass of Ben Stokes on the 5th day of the Lord's Test. A draw here will mean Australia retain the Ashes. The controversial dismissal of Jonny Bairstow will add more spark to the already exciting Test series.
