00:00Thank you for joining us wherever you are.

00:12Around the world, Ben Stokes and Joffre Archer leading the defiance, the defence for England.

00:19It is day three here of the third test.

00:22You just get the feeling by the close of today, we'll know, are England still alive in this contest?

00:28Or has four years of planning gone up in smoke?

00:32It is the Ashes.

00:41Joffre should just set up there as a stance in that forward defence, because that's pretty much where the ball's going to be, isn't it?

00:49Walks the bet, there you go, there's some intentions on clear display from the captain of England.

00:58Yep.

00:59Nice delivery.

01:0150 for Stokes.

01:04His slowest at this level, as far as balls face.

01:09That won't bother him.

01:14Bang, he goes big, and he's gone big enough too.

01:17It's all the way for a maximum.

01:21Joffre strikes, a big blow.

01:22Get, get, get, get.

01:27That's classy, that's beautiful stroke from Stokes.

01:30So it's becoming infectious now, his positivity.

01:34Encouraging signs for England.

01:39Oh, with strokes like that, he can do anything.

01:42He's going through the gears now, Ben Stokes.

01:49Oh, through everything.

01:52Big swing, a deep turn from line.

01:55Kerry does so much work with Nathan Lyon before the start of play.

02:00Strange, a bit frustrated they got a third.

02:02By, I would imagine they are, three byes.

02:07It's worked fine as well.

02:09A lot of work to be done to start too much work.

02:11Four more.

02:15Captain to captain.

02:17Well, that's crunched away.

02:20Save your legs, skipper.

02:24Oh, it seems back.

02:26More runs, though, to bring up the 100 partnership.

02:29What a performance this is from Stokes and Archer.

02:39A wonderful 50.

02:41A wonderful moment in the career of Joffre Archer.

02:45And it turns up, it's at the right time.

02:51Faithful England supporters haven't had a lot to cheer about,

02:54but, gee, they're in fine voice this morning.

02:57Well played.

02:59Balls in.

03:01Stokes.

03:02Oh, the frustration for Stokes, but Mitchell gets in the game.

03:07Brilliant delivery.

03:10Just too good to be out for too long, Stokes.

03:14He seizes a moment.

03:16Just as England wrestled back control,

03:19Mitch does it again.

03:20Well, that'll be handy a few runs.

03:25It's going to be four of them, indeed.

03:28Lead now down into the 80s.

03:33Eds.

03:33And safely secured by Marnus.

03:35So, Scotty, first over of a new spell so often,

03:39but it brings to an end a defiant effort by Joffre Archer.

03:46Fought hard.

03:48He now has a job to do with the ball.

03:50Enticing the drive.

03:53Joffre Archer.

03:54Jerry O'Keefe mentioned it.

03:56Been solid in defence.

03:57Plenty of strokes when necessary.

04:00Nice 51 for the English side,

04:02but we'll get the opportunity with ball in hand.

04:05Two for 73 so far,

04:07so England are adding valuable runs.

04:09They're bowled out in their first innings

04:12and Australia have an 85-run lead.

04:15Here we go, then.

04:16Ashes on the line.

04:17Here's Archer.

04:22Bit of nip.

04:23And Australia away.

04:26Keeping an eye on the speeds, too.

04:271.32 first up for Joffre Archer.

04:30He needs that over that 1.45.

04:35Oh, it's...

04:36Poor ball.

04:37See what he's trying to do.

04:39He's trying to go full,

04:40but that is so wayward.

04:44That's much better from Kars.

04:46It's been given.

04:48Did it pitch in line?

04:50That's going to be the question

04:51that Weatherald asks.

04:55Well, that's the length.

04:56That's where he needed to get to,

04:57and he got it.

04:59Previous one was too short.

05:00He thinks he's out with it.

05:01He hasn't even referred that.

05:03He's wandering off.

05:05It's a great start.

05:06Like Kars, this time round,

05:08got it full, got it swinging,

05:10and he's got it right.

05:13Much fuller length.

05:14Weatherald walks off for 1.

05:181 for 8.

05:20That's close.

05:21That's really good from Kars.

05:23Full on the stumps.

05:25Wasn't doing too much.

05:26That is smashing leg start,

05:29in my opinion.

05:33It's through.

05:36Protection on that leg side,

05:38but Lavashayne's so good off his legs.

05:43Cut away into the air.

05:45And beats that fielder.

05:46That's fuller,

05:51and he picks the gap.

05:52It had to be good from head,

05:53and it was.

05:54It choked into him a touch late,

05:56and about a 10-metre region to work with,

05:58and he nailed it.

06:02This time,

06:04hasn't carried to Brook.

06:05The upwires are discussing it.

06:07Brook thinks so.

06:08Looks like Lavashayne will depart this time.

06:11They're having a look.

06:12Brook's confident.

06:13They run through.

06:25No, that's clearly.

06:26Fingers underneath the ball.

06:27I've really made my decision for the good screen.

06:33Harness is gone.

06:3413.

06:35It's 2.53.

06:36Time for a drink.

06:39Yes!

06:40Ah, that's not good.

06:42Not too many.

06:42From the point of view.

06:43But, ah,

06:44positivity from Usman.

06:48Yes!

06:50It's well hit.

06:52And it's too good for Jofra.

06:58Oh, a fielder down there.

07:02Step into that, ah,

07:05part of the batting box.

07:06Travis Head's always going to take it on.

07:08And it's his zone there.

07:12Chases that.

07:13Oh, for a moment.

07:16Josh Tong has his hands on his head.

07:23It's nicely played from Travis Head.

07:25He's starting to hit the gaps.

07:27And that'll be 50 for the hometown boy.

07:2931st time, he's passed 50 in Test Cricket.

07:34And the local fans love Travis Head.

07:39Thick outside edge.

07:40Brooke went ducking.

07:41And fair enough, it'll run away.

07:43All the way to the fence.

07:44The runs again starting to come from Jax now.

07:50Gets inside.

07:50He knew what was coming.

07:51Was prepared to take it on.

07:54Corley can't stop that.

07:55Six.

07:56Top shot indeed.

07:57Correcting the crowd.

07:58She's set up.

07:59No, it was coming ahead.

08:00Big test for Jax now.

08:01Yeah, heads into him.

08:04They're on the attack now.

08:05He nearly cleaned up Wussman on the way through.

08:07They're up right.

08:08We're going to hit Will Jax out of the attack.

08:10Ben Stokes, what's your next move?

08:14Oh, he's got him with a half tracker.

08:16Kawaja can't believe it.

08:18Jax can't believe it.

08:19The crowd can't believe it.

08:21But they break through.

08:23Three for one, three-nine.

08:26Kawaja on his way for 40 from 51.

08:283rd down inside the 36 for one, three-nine.

08:35He presses at it.

08:37He starts confidently.

08:38He'll be happy with that.

08:39Will Green relieved.

08:41Nice start.

08:42Nicely timed.

08:47Is it carried?

08:48Tung thinks so.

08:50Brooke again and Green departs.

08:53England coming back.

08:55Beaten outside of Stubb.

08:56Next time edges it.

08:58For only seven.

09:00And Australia leaves their fourth.

09:01And England will not be denied.

09:04That's a big blow.

09:05Cameron Green out.

09:07Out for seven.

09:08It's four for one, four, nine.

09:11England back in the game.

09:12Is it wicket coming?

09:15Head says no wicket.

09:17How about straight down the ground?

09:21Six.

09:22Shot.

09:25Shot.

09:27Anytime there's any wick, he's happy to carve it through the offside.

09:35Comes back.

09:36Carves it away.

09:37It's a short boundary.

09:38Does well to stuck it.

09:40All five foot of him.

09:42Nice and roll, too.

09:43Crocodile roll to complete the fielding.

09:50Timing.

09:52Lovely full-flowing bat.

09:55Met.

09:56Full face.

09:57Football.

09:57Can't get something on it.

10:03It's definitely off the hip or the thigh part as well as that.

10:07Rushes away to the boundary.

10:08Cuts.

10:12Dropped, I reckon.

10:14Dropped on 99.

10:17By the standing skipper.

10:20What a moment.

10:21England can't believe it.

10:25Advantages.

10:26Pops it down the ground.

10:28Does it in style.

10:29Travis Head.

10:30England have no answers to travel.

10:34500.

10:36Travis Head loves Adelaide.

10:37And Adelaide loves Travis Head.

10:40Fourth straight Adelaide test where the local boys scored a ton.

10:44He's down on his knees and the crowd are up on their feet.

10:56Ah, that's beautiful use of the feet.

11:05Nice touch.

11:07A little bit of gloves, I think, caught it as well.

11:09So it slowed it up and it was a teaser.

11:16That's nice for Kerry.

11:18Beautiful straight back.

11:19And he's motoring.

11:22He's going to catch Travis.

11:23He's going to lap him.

11:28Travis is running backwards just to make sure there's no damage done.

11:32But you may well check that.

11:35Straight back towards the batter.

11:38Head down the ground.

11:40No need to run there.

11:41Travis Head is pulverising England now.

11:44It's fluent again from Kerry Stokes gets him behind it.

11:51He's spent some time off the ground.

11:53He is a wholehearted operator.

11:56Even Ben Stokes can't prevent Alex Carey driving another boundary.

12:01Head goes the aerial route.

12:03He'll get it to the boundary.

12:04Kerry, the 100 partnership comes up.

12:07Australia starting to really dominate here.

12:12Carey beats the dive.

12:15He moves to 49.

12:17What a test match.

12:18What a test series.

12:19The South Australian is having Alex Carey.

12:25Crowd stands again.

12:27Another local hero.

12:28100 in the first dig.

12:2950 in the second.

12:31Alex Carey is in the cricket form of his life.

12:41Beats the field.

12:43It's well timed.

12:45Very well timed.

12:46That's a good chase from Duckett.

12:48He might have given up four anyway.

12:51He covered 60 metres there, Benny Duckett.

12:56Oh.

12:57Travis Head will wander off with his great mate Alex Carey

13:00to a standing ovation.

13:021-4-2, Head.

13:0452, Carey.

13:05The partnership 1-2-2, Australia leading by 356.

13:12Travis Head, for the fourth time in four test matches here in Adelaide,

13:16will walk off with 100 and hugs his great mate.

13:19Match summary, Australia day one, 3-7-1.

13:33Archer 5-53, Carey 106.

13:36England 2-8-6.

13:37Stokes and Archer continued on this morning.

13:40They added over 100 for the ninth wicket.

13:43Got the deficit under 100.

13:46And Australia were 4-1, 4-9, but have pushed on with 122 runs stand between Head and Carey.

13:54All right.

13:54It's 113.

13:55Let's give up.

13:55All right.

13:56Just give up.

13:58All right.

13:59All right.

14:00All right.

14:01All right.

14:02All right.

14:02So, I'm going to come here.
