*Official* Third Test (Headingley, Leeds) 6–10 July

[morgieb]

Murphy still on? FFS.

 

[Spark]

This is just wrong. Hiding to nothing

 

[CartyDurham]

That is absolutely hugeeere 6

can he get the ton ?

 

[91Jmay]

Thats not a good ball. Should be out by the lines

 

[social]

Murphy has been fine

Cummins is to blame for this

 

[AVA]

Another wicket and it will be. Current best is 6/23.

So what you're saying is that Cummins is bowling Murphy to save the wicket for himself? Genius.

 

[Anil]

This is incredible, the Aussies were salivating over a very probable (at the time) 100 runs lead at lunch and now England could get past their score in the next couple of overs!

 

[vicleggie]

They've done damn well here
2 more good overs and it's an evne match

 

[Spark]

26 runs feels like nothing man

 

[Nintendo]

Tbf the Murphy plan did work, had stokes out twice in an over. Why were still persisting with it is beyond me.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

This Murphy is crap

 

[CartyDurham]

No

well caught smith but let’s give Stokes some praise for how he has kept England in the game

brave bowling by Murphy and pleased for the kid

 

[91Jmay]

That's better, wide outside of off and he skies it. Great session though. 26 a marginal lead, Stokes Ashes legend continues to grow.

 

[AVA]

Pyrrhic victory FTW.

 

[thierry henry]

95 for the last 3 wickets. 50 too many.

 

[Bahnz]

Oooh Stokes is in big trouble here. Wouldn't be surprised if we don't see him again after this match. Great knock though.

 

[morgieb]

Finally holed out.

But jeez, 70 runs wasted. And unlike Lords, there isn't the same margin for error. One good spell and England are ahead.

 

[GIMH]

Would have easily taken that at 11.15

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Batted Stokes.

 

[Anil]

Well never mind...but still that was pretty spectacular stuff...
