ऑस्ट्रेलिया vs इंग्लैंड, तीसरा टेस्ट, एडिलेड ओवल, एडिलेड, 17 December 2025 - हाइलाइट्स

From around the stumps, this is full and angling in and around off. Will Jacks strides forward and blocks it to point. 

OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Midas touch? Nope. It's the Marnus touch once again. A top-shelf stuff from him and it is Starc once again with a breakthrough. Pitched fuller and just around the off pole, with a bit of nibble away after kissing the deck. Will Jacks goes on the drive with hard hands, has a waft at it, only to nick it behind. Now, the ball is going flat and low, between the keeper and Marnus at first slip. Carey dives to his right, Marnus to his left, a bit ahead of the keeper and sticks out his left hand to take a stunner one-handed. Will Jacks is very disappointed with himself and walks back on 47 (137). England are 337/8, needing 98 runs to win. 2 wickets in hand. 

BEATEN! Zipped through! Back of a length, seams away from off, Jofra Archer hangs the bat loosely away from his body and gets beaten past the outside edge by a kitten-whisker. Spicy stuff from Starc. 

Short and outside off, left alone.

Slammed hard onto the pitch, outside off, square cut off the back foot to deep backward point for a single. 

Edged, lands just short of Marnus! Nips away from off, on a good length, with extra bounce. Brydon Carse pushes at the delivery, does go with soft hands, and hence, the outside edge lands short and to the left of the diving Marnus Labuschagne from first slip. 

A spitting cobra, on top of off. Jofra Archer hangs back and defends it well. 

Tight lines! In the channel, straightening off the deck. Beats Jofra's back foot defence as he plays inside the line. 

Pitched fuller, just outside off, Jofra Archer strides forward and steers it through backward point for a single. 

Cuts back in, as the Victorian threatens the pads, on a length. Carse brings the bat across the pad and blocks it to the leg side.

EDGED, DROPPED AND FOUR! Outside off, on a hard length. Brydon Carse plays away from his body without any footwork, and gets a thick outside edge. The ball goes at pace, flat to the left of Cameron Green at second slip. He dives to his left, extends his left hand out, but the ball deflects off his fingers and races behind to the deep third fence, beating Marnus' chase from the first slip. That flew towards Green and he had very little time to react to that one. Good try though.

Back of a length, outside off, squares Carse up totally. He tries to defend, and the ball goes off the splice towards the point region for a single. 

Pace and bounce! Searing in at 145.6 kph, Starc hammers it into the pitch, outside off. Brydon Carse pushes at the delivery, but the ball kicks up and flies past the edge.

Around off, on a good length, nibbling away. Brydon Carse dabs it towards backward point for a single. 

Short of a good length, outside off, steered away through backward point for a single. England need 89 runs to win now. 

At 143 kph, this is full and aimed at the sticks. Brydon Carse gets a bit across and stabs it to the right of the bowler. 

Bangs it halfway down the strip. Angles it onto the leg stump. Carse rides this rib-tickler well, hops off and keeps it down the ground through backward square leg for a single. 

Scorching pace of 147 kph, short and angling down leg. Archer ducks under it. 

Tries the big-booming drive on the up on this length ball, but gets a thick inside edge past the leg stump. Carey runs to his left and stops it.

Shortish delivery, outside off, tapped off the back foot to the left of extra cover for a quick single. 

Half chance! Lands on the seam and nips away from off. Jofra Archer prods forward to defend with a straight bat, but gets a thick outside edge. The ball eludes Carey's gloves and grazes his right elbow, before dropping short of the gully fielder. 

PEACH! Around off, seaming away on a length. Jofra Archer plays inside the line to defend, but gets beaten. 

A loud appeal for LBW, but not given! Nip-backer on a short length, angling around the leg stump line. Jofra Archer walks across to nudge that around the corner, but misses. The ball hits him high on the thigh pad and rolls to the leg side, behind square. They cross for a leg bye. Marnus Labuschagne gestures about height and Australia do not review. 

BEATEN AGAIN! A lifter from a good length, outside off. Brydon Carse withdraws his bat inside the line as the ball breezes past the outside edge. Carey, as usual, with a sharp take behind. A top over from Boland. 

Hones in on a fullish length, just outside off. Jofra Archer shoulders arms at that. 

Pretty loose from Archer. Chases the length ball from outside off, tries the square cut away from his body and gets beaten past the outside edge. 

OUT! FLATLY HIT AND TAKEN! Mitchell Starc delivers once again and roars in delight. That's his 22nd wicket in this Ashes. Simply brilliant stuff. Short delivery, wide outside off. Jofra Archer rides the bounce and cuts it uppishly towards deep backward point. Finds Jake Weatherald to perfection in the deep as the Aussie opener doesn't have to move an inch, just crouches low to his right to gather it. Archer is in disbelief. Barmy Army in complete silence. Jofra Archer departs on 3 (14) and England are 349/9. Australia are just one wicket away from retaining the Ashes. 

Fuller and on middle, Josh Tongue flicks it confidently through mid-wicket for a single. 350 up for England!

Short of a length and outside off, Brydon Carse flashes at with his blade but misses.

Fuller and on off, Brydon Carse drives it through covers for a run and keeps the strike.

On a length and on off, angling in, Brydon Carse stays back and blocks it out.

Hits the length hard, on off, takes off a bit. Brydon Carse just about gets on top of it and keeps it out off the shoulder of the bat towards point.

Uppish but safe! Fuller and on middle, angling in. Brydon Carse flicks it aerially and just over mid-wicket for a single.

Short of a length and around off, Josh Tongue plays well inside the line of it to let it go.

OUT! EDGED AND GONE! It's absolute jubilation here at the Adelaide Oval as the Aussies celebrate wildly. Scott Boland lands this on a good length and on the fifth stump line, gets it to shape away as well. Josh Tongue looks to drive it on the up, but without much footwork. It takes the outside edge and flies straight to second slip, where fittingly Marnus Labuschagne takes a sharp catch, his fourth of this innings. AUSTRALIA WIN BY 82 RUNS AND TAKE AN UNASSAILABLE 3-0 LEAD!
