Australia leads the Ashes 2-1 with two video games to play.
Having led 2-0 after slim wins at Lord’s and Edgbaston, Australia might have wrapped issues up at Headingley however for the standard Bazball chase that obtained England again into competition.

“We have stored the collection alive,” Ben Stokes stated after successful in Leeds.
“After the Lord’s sport and earlier than this sport, earlier than the sport in Manchester, we simply must do precisely the identical factor: play cricket that will get a end result, our means.”
