It's bright and sunny morning in Leeds. The temperature is set to hover in 20s. There are close to no chances of precipitation, thus, rain is set to stay away.

Joe Root will have the onus to take England away from the clouds of danger. Will he be able to succeed? All to look forward to.

Australia have started off on a bright start sending 3 key players back to the pavilion. On Day 2, the team have to continue taking wickets on regular intervals.

While Australia have won both the matches, so far no team has outrightly dominated. So, with Australia being restricted to a meagre 1st innings, can England pounce on the opportunity and put pressure on the visitors?

After attaining a lead of 2-0, Australia initiated the course to retain the prestigious Ashes Urn. At Headingley, the visitors were put into bat first and got off to a shaky start with the early dismissal of David Warner. The match-winners of the previous two matches Usman Khawaja and Steve Smith also could not captalise on the start they got and Australia were in trouble at 85 for 4. From there Mitchell Starc played an exceptional knock of 118 off 118 and along with Travis Head formed an incredible 155-run stand. Marsh's wicket led to a collapse and Australia got out at 263. 

In reply, England also endured an untidy start and before the end of the day's play, the hosts have lost both their openers Zack Crawley and Ben Duckett, plus, Harry Brook. Eng will start Day 2 on 68/3.

The 3rd Test is taking place at The Headingley. Day 2 will begin at 3:30 PM IST.
