Aus vs Eng: Archer took 5 wickets, still in a strong position, Australia tightened the noose on England
Adelaide. Host Australia has tightened its grip on the ongoing Third Ashes Test Match between Australia and England in Adelaide. Even though fast bowler Jofra Archer has taken a five-wicket haul for England, the Kangaroo team is continuing the same game that Australia had shown in the first two matches. Australia scored 371 runs in the first innings, although the team did not have a good start. On the other hand, England did not get a good start in their first innings. In this way, it can be said that Australia has taken control of this match also.
Talking about this match, Australian team captain Pat Cummins won the toss and chose to bat. Although the start was not good, Alex Carey made a comeback for Australia by playing an inning of 106 runs. Apart from Carey, Usman Khawaja also scored a strong 82 runs, who was playing in place of Steve Smith. Smith was found unfit just before the match. In such a situation, Khawaja got a chance to play. Mitchell Starc also played an inning of 54 runs, due to which the England team went on the backfoot. Josh English also scored 32 runs.
On the other hand, Joffra Archer took a five-wicket haul for England on the morning of the second day of the match. At the same time, Brayden Kars and Will Jacques got 2 wickets each. England opened the batting after bowling out Australia for 371. It seemed that the England team would score big in the first innings, but as soon as the first wicket fell at 37 runs, two more wickets fell within the next 5 runs. In this way, the England team is in danger of losing the Ashes series.
danger of series defeat
The England team has already lost two matches and now if they lose this ongoing match in Adelaide, then they will lose the series 3-0. There will be two matches left in the series, but the results of those matches will not affect the win or loss of the series. Of course, the scoreline may change, but the Ashes trophy will remain with host Australia. In such a situation, England will have to think about making a strong comeback and winning the match in this match.
