The third Test of the Ashes series between England and Australia has started on a good note. England dismissed the visiting Australian side to a total of 263 runs in the first innings. Mark Wood on his return to Test cricket produced a fiery spell and claimed a five-wicket haul. For Australia, Mitchell Marsh shined with the bat by scoring a counterattacking hundred. The two players had a terrific comeback to their respective sides and impressed the viewers.

For Australia, Pat Cummins was on song with the ball. The Australian captain was at his usual best with the ball and dismissed Ben Duckett and Harry Brook. Towards the end of the day, there was some drama, as Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow indirectly took a dig at the Australian players by gesturing at them being inside the crease. It only spiced up things amidst a really good contest between the bat and the ball. The day ended with Australia having a slight upper hand.
