Ashes 2023: Rain washed out majority of Day 3 final session on Friday as Steve Smith and Usman Khawaja went back unbeaten at an overnight score of 58 and six not out.

The weather provided England, who are trailing by 221 runs in the second innings, a reprieve on Day 3. But Australia would look to consolidate their position in the match by posting a target in excess of 400 runs on Day 4 of the ongoing second Test match at Lord’s in London. The visitors have eight wickets in hand and the job for them should be simple.
