Leeds, Aug 25: Joe Root, Joe Denly and Ben Stokes ground it out to give England a glimmer of hope on Day 3. With a target of 359 being set for them to chase by Australia, England were in a spot of bother at 15/2 towards the end of the second session.
However Denly and Root put up a partnership of 126 runs to get England into three figures. The Australians intensified their hunt for a wicket which eventually led to Denly falling to Hazlewood for 50. Denly tried to fend off Hazlewood's bouncer and ended up gloving it to the keeper.
