0-2 down, England will be desperate to bounce back and register a win to keep their Ashes hopes alive when they face rivals Australia in the third Test at the Headingley in Leeds, starting from Thursday (July 16).

Ben Stokes-led England, who were on the verge of pulling off a record chase at Lord's last week, will look to land their first win against Pat Cummins' Australia, who clinched a 43-run victory to strengthen their chances of defending the urn at the Home of Cricket in London on July 2.

Asked to bat first, Steve Smith's 32nd Test hundred powered Australia to 416 in the first innings before Ben Duckett's 98-run knock took the hosts to 325, handing the visitors a 93-run lead heading into their second innings, where they were bowled out for 279, setting a target of 371.

In the run chase, England stuttered after four of the top five were sent packing by Australian pace spearheads Cummins and Mitchell Starc on day four of the Test. However, Duckett (86) along with Stokes gave some hope at the start of the ultimate day of the match.

But once Duckett fell, England's hopes diminished. A few overs later Jonny Bairstow was controversially stumped by Alex Carey. Stokes, however, gave more hope with a brilliant 155, but his knock was not enough for England, who folded for 327.

Now, the action shifts to Headingley for the third Test, in which Australia will hope their edge at the venue will help them take a 3-0 lead and also win the five-match Test series. England, on the other hand, will look to get their act together and aim for a win that will keep them alive in the series.

This will be the 26th time the venue will play hosts to the Ashes rivals. England has beaten Australia eight times, while the team from Down Under has got a slightly better record of nine wins with eight other matches ending in a draw.

In the most recent meeting between the two sides at Headingley, Stokes scored an unbeaten hundred to pull off a miracle for England in a 1-wicket win as he shared a memorable tenth wicket partnership with Jack Leach, who scored only one run in the 76-run stand in the run chase of 362 in 2019 Ashes.
