Third Test, day three: Australia 371 & 271-4; England 286England trail by 356 runs to leave series hopes hanging by a threadThere were flickers of hope for England on the third day in Adelaide but like some of the murmurs thrown up by Snicko during this pivotal third Ashes Test, they were never entirely convincing. Instead, courtesy of Travis Head’s hometown hundred, Australia manoeuvred their way into a position of outright dominance.At stumps the hosts had reached 271 for four and built a lead of 356 runs. As a 53,700-strong crowd filtered out, the majority did so beaming. They had watched Head only further his cult hero status: an unbeaten 142 from 196 balls that meant England would need a record chase on this ground to prevent going 3-0 down in the series.

1 hour ago Australia lead England by 356 runs: Ashes third Test, day three – live

Hosts heading towards series victory in Adelaide Ashes top 100 | Get The Spin newsletter | Email MartinEnough talk, Scott Boland is about to bowl the first over of day three. It’s much cooler in Adelaide, around 26 degrees.“Honestly, it’s not England’s batting – that’s pretty much on par with Australia’s,” writes Andy Roberts. “The glaring difference is the bowling. If Australian batters look better, it’s because they are getting a lot more bad balls to hit. England couldn’t score any faster yesterday because the bowling was consistently accurate and tested the batter’s technique and concentration over after over, with no weak links. Compare that to England, with Jacks and Carse sending down rubbish time and time again. Continue reading...

ECB and Cricket Australia could bring in UltraEdgeSnicko hit by more bad decisions on day two in AdelaideThe England and Wales Cricket Board has held talks with Cricket Australia about the possibility of replacing the decision review system (DRS) technology Snicko with an alternative UltraEdge for the Boxing Day Test at Melbourne after controversy on the opening two days of the Adelaide Test.In bilateral series, DRS technology is the responsibility of the home board, which in practice is passed on to the main domestic broadcast rights holder, in this case Fox Sports. However, the Guardian has learned that Cricket Australia’s free-to-air rights holder, Channel 7, has a DRS contract with Hawk-Eye Innovations, the company behind UltraEdge, so there is an alternative available should the hosts seek to make a change amid unhappiness from players on both sides.
