Ashes 5th Test Day 3 Live score: FOUR! Crawley feasts on the short ball

Starc goes short for the fifth ball of the 23rd and Crawley is on to it like a rash. Stands tall and nails the pull behind square.

Ashes 5th Test Day 3 Live score: GONE! Starc gets the breakthrough

It has been coming, Starc had started to get some swing and when that happens, there are not many batters who can survive a spell. Full from Starc for the last of the 17th and Duckett goes for a big drive, Starc and Carey appeal, the umpire says no and Cummins reviews. Big spike on ultra edge as ball passes bat and so Duckett is done.

Duckett c Carey b Starc 42 (55), England 79/1 in 17 overs

Ashes 2023 Live score: England 66/0 in 13 overs

Crawley and Duckett bossing it at the moment. Ben Stokes is sitting there padded up so it is pretty clear that he is going to walk out No.3 in place of Moeen Ali, whon is still struggling with his groin. Crawley is on 23 off 40, Duckett on 39 off 40. Mitchell Marsh has replaced Josh Hazlewood and bowled three overs with Pat Cummins soldiering on from the other end.

Jul 29, 2023 04:13 PM IST

England vs Australia 5th Test Day 3 Live: FOUR! 50 partnership in just 8.4 overs

Cummins goes short for the fourth ball of the 9th and Duckett, of course, pulls away. It takes a top edge, flies over slips and goes to the boundary. England have reached 52 runs in 8.4 overs, Australia had crossed 50 only somewhere close to Lunch yesterday. Fair to say we are seeing two teams with slightly different approaches to Test cricket here.

Jul 29, 2023 03:51 PM IST

Ashes 5th Test Day 3 Live score: England 30/0 in 4 overs

Crawley on nine off 11, Duckett on 19 off 14. Hazlewood and Starc have bowled a lot of half volleys, especially on the legs of the two batters and they have made merry. Hazlewood did a little better off the last two deliveries of the fourth, Crawley had edged the fifth short of gully, then was beaten off the last one. Pat Cummins comes in to replace Starc at the other end for the fifth. Ricky Ponting in the commentary box seems absolutely flummoxed by the dissonance between the lines and lengths that the Aussies are bowling and their field placements.

Ashes 2023 Live score: Broad's black magic

Joe Root's catch to end Marnus Labuschagne's vigil rightly took all the plaudits but perhaps a tiny bit of the credit should go to Stuart Broad as well. Broad had interchanged the bails on Labuschagne's end just before the delivery and then “celebrated with” Usman Khawaja for a second when the wicket fell, in his own words. Considering Broad loves to take up the chance to stand for his version of the spirit of cricket, in which nicking to slips and not walking is fine but running a batter who has wandered out of his crease is not, a lot of Australian and South Asian sounding names on social media did point out if this little action was in keeping with that spirit.

Ashes 2023 Live score England vs Australia 5th Test Day 3: 'We didn't get a bigger lead', says Smith

After the final session yesterday, Smith said, "Would have been nice to have got a bigger lead, wicket played quite nice, a lot of us got starts. A couple of partnerships helped, we started a counterpunch, not a bad end to the day, but overall disappointed we didn't get a bigger lead."

"No set plan, they bowled really well this morning, credit where it's due. We took it deep and got more opportunities at the back end. It swung a lot, quite shiny and good swing bowlers. Not a great deal of seam. We want to keep the scoreboard ticking but guys are allowed to bowl well, it's Test cricket, got to respect it," he further added.
