Welcome to the live blog of the 3rd Ashes Test match between Australia and England at the Adelaide Oval. The hosts find themselves in a commanding position yet again as the Three Lions have been reduced to 8 wickets in their 1st innings with the bat at the end of day 2.
England arrived to bat after getting exhausted by the Australian batting for 2 days straight. The tone for this Test was set early on Day 1 when local hero Alex Carey rescued Australia from a precarious 94/4 with a magnificent, counter-attacking century.
His 106, supported by Usman Khawaja’s resilient 82, propelled the hosts to a formidable 371, despite a spirited five-wicket haul from England’s Jofra Archer.
The momentum shifted decisively on Day 2 during a historic spell from Nathan Lyon. Under the scorching sun at 40°C, Lyon produced a masterclass, removing the English openers in his very first over.
