Over to Headingley and Archer has once again knocked Labuschagne in the head with the ball kissing the helmet. Labuschagne tried to duck but the vicious bouncer hit its target leaving the batsmen stunned.

Australia are currently sitting comfortably sitting on a lead of 350 at the moment. Jofra Archer knocked the Australians like a storm, taking 6-45 in just his second match. However, England failed to capitalise on the effort and fell like bowling pins to notch just 67 runs!

With still 2 and a half days more to go, it is possible that England can chase the target down. However, they will have to perform out of their skins to equalise the series. If not, they will leave Leeds with no chance of winning the series anymore.

Australia won the first test and the second test was drawn. England were required to win this match to stay in the game. Instead, the Australians now have the upper hand and could seal an unsurmountable lead in the series.
