England 237 (52.3) vs Australia 263 (60.4) & 116/4 (47.0)
Ashes 2023, England vs Australia 3rd Test Day 1 Highlights:
The third Ashes test match between England and Australia at Headingley on Thursday saw a remarkable comeback by Australian all-rounder Mitch Marsh, who celebrated his return to the test team by smashing a century and claiming a wicket. After day one, Australia led England by 195 runs.
Marsh’s impressive run-a-ball innings of 118, in partnership with Travis Head, helped Australia recover from a precarious position of 85-4. In fact, the duo combined for 155 runs, while the rest of the team managed only 108. However, after Marsh’s dismissal at 240-5 just before tea, Australia suffered a collapse and were all out for 263, with fast bowler Mark Wood taking 5-34 on his test return.
England’s Playing XI:
Ben Duckett, Zak Crawley, Harry Brook, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow (wk), Ben Stokes (c), Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Stuart Broad, Ollie Robinson, Mark Wood
