ENG vs AUS LIVE Score: Australia will be looking to seize control and a comfortable lead on the third day, which is regarded as the moving day of a Test match, after consolidating their position on Day 2. As the action begins on Sunday, June 18, for Day 3 of this first Ashes Test, which promises to be as enthralling, England needs some quick wickets to wrest back some control in this contest. However, the third day’s expected rain in Edgbaston is terrible news for viewers since it may interrupt the game.
Australia’s opener Usman Khawaja (126*) scored an incredible hundred on Saturday, leading the visitors to 311 for 5 at day two’s end. All of Australia’s wickets were still in tact as the day began, but they were dealt a blow when David Warner was dismissed for the 15th time by Stuart Broad. Things improved for England when Broad outdid himself by dismissing the top Test batter with the very next delivery.
Steven Smith and Usman Khawaja attempted to take control, but Ben Stokes removed Smith, giving England total control of the opening session. A quickfire half-century from Travis Head gave the Australian inning some life, tilting the second session in Australia’s favour. Moeen Ali dismissed Head as he couldn’t go far and looked to keep playing his shots. As the day went on, the weather improved and the batters’ jobs became simpler as they played their shots leaving Australia just 82 runs behind the hosts.
Rain to play spoilsport on Day 3?
There is an 80% chance of rain and thunderstorms on the third day of the Test, which may be heartbreaking and terrible news for the spectators. Starting at 10 am, there will be brief downpours, and the day will be overcast. The likelihood of rain has decreased since Saturday, so it could not be a deal breaker and spectators might be able to enjoy the entire game.
