    "editor1": "<p><strong>AUS vs ENG Ashes 3rd Test, Day 3<\/strong>: Though Rain wiped out the first two sessions on Day Three of the ongoing third Ashes Test at Headingley, it didn&rsquo;t stop the action from moving at a frenetic pace in the one session of play possible on Saturday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the end, England reached 27\/0 at stumps in a chase of 251 after their bowlers made good use of the overcast conditions to bowl out Australia for 224. Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley remained unbeaten on 18 and 9 respectively for England to leave the required runs to 224.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Resuming from 116\/4 and with their lead at 142 runs, the total could have been a lot less for Australia if Travis Head hadn&#39;t struck a magnificent 77 in conditions that were very tricky for batting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chris Woakes (3-68) dismissed first-innings centurion Mitchell Marsh (nicked behind) and Alex Carey (chopped onto his stumps) in quick succession, while Mark Wood (3-66) took out Mitchell Starc and captain Pat Cummins to reduce Australia to 170\/8.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Australia&#39;s lead was standing at 196 at that point, but Head and Todd Murphy (11) put on a crucial stand of 41 runs for the ninth wicket before Murphy was pinned lbw by Broad (3-45). Broad eventually ended Australia&rsquo;s resistance by having Head caught at deep midwicket, shortly after the left-handed batter smacked Wood for back-to-back sixes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Head&#39;s heavy hitting while batting with the tail at the end ensured Australia crossed 200, a score that seemed difficult to reach when they were eight down.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>A win for England will keep the Ashes alive while a victory for Australia will give them their first Ashes series triumph in the country in 22 years.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Brief scores:&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">Live Scorecard<\/a><\/p><p>Australia 263 &amp; 224 all out in 67.1 overs (Travis Head 77, Usman Khawaja 43; Stuart Broad 3-45, Chris Woakes 3-68) lead England 237 &amp; 27 for no loss in 5 overs (Ben Duckett 18 not out, Zak Crawley 9 not out) by 224 runs<\/p>\r\n",
