The Ashes Recap: Follow the latest from Day 3 of the Third Test from Adelaide Oval
Cricket: Ben Stokes did his best to hold England together, but Australia were far too good on a day that all but wraps up the Ashes as a contest.
England were bowled out for 286 before Travis Head hit his fourth Test century at the Adelaide Oval in his past four matches there.
Alex Carey also added another handy knock.
Recap the day in our blog below.
Mr Adelaide!
Head does it again!
He has two Test hundreds as an opener in just five attempts and makes it four Test hundreds at Adelaide Oval in his past four Adelaide Tests.
Root made him wait with darts and then he got dropped by Brook at backward point off Archer on 99 cutting.
He finally got there in Root’s next over with a smash over mid-off for four.
The superstar kissed the pitch in celebration!
Stokes is awake!
Boland has taken the first over and is straight on the money.
However, Stokes is in a much more aggressive mood today, advancing at the big Vic and slapping him through covers.
It forces Alex Carey to come up to the stumps.
Eventful first over.
ENG 8-218, trail by 153
Welcome!
The players are in the middle ahead of day three with England eight wickets behind.
Australia will be hoping to wrap this innings up straight away and take a first-innings lead of 150.
Strap in for another wild day of Ashes cricket!
