The 3rd Test of the Ashes 2023 was moving along quickly despite rain at Headingley for most of Day 3. Australia lost wickets often after starting on their overnight total of 116/4. However, because of Travis Head's tenacious 50, they managed to reach 224 all out, giving England a target of 251 to win. After five overs of play, England had scored a total of 27. They are now thought to be the favourites with two days left in the match unless a probable batting collapse hampers their prospects.

Former England captain Nasser Hussain agreed with Sachin Tendulkar. Hussain said in his Daily Mail column that England's optimistic attitude, as seen in their short innings the night before, will very likely continue. He recognised the possibility of the fielding team losing control quickly at Headingley, as evidenced in prior spectacular matches. Hussain emphasised that England's objective now is to maintain their optimism but still taking a bit more cautious approach. This means that the English squad must mix aggression with tactical acumen in order to effectively traverse the game and reach a favourable conclusion and win their first Test in the Ashes 2023.
