England vs Australia Live Score 5th Ashes Test Day 3: Australia left England frustrated on Day 2 of their ongoing fifth Ashes Test match, at The Oval in London. The visitors posted 295 in their first innings at Stumps, in response to England's 283, thereby taking a lead of 12 runs. Steve Smith was in decent form for Australia, smacking 71 runs off 123 balls, including six fours. Meanwhile, Usman Khawaja's 47 proved to be crucial, despite missing out on a half-century. Meanwhile, tailenders Pat Cummins and Todd Murphy annoyed the English bowlers with gritty knocks. The Aussie captain registered 36 runs off 86 balls, hammering four fours in the process. Meanwhile, Murphy slammed 34 runs off 39 deliveries, clobbering two fours and three sixes also. For England's bowling department, Chris Woakes was in good form and took three wickets, Mark Wood, Joe Root and Stuart Broad scalped two dismissals each. On Day 3, England will begin their second innings and all eyes will be on opener Zak Crawley, who pummeled a ton in the previous Test. Australia will be looking for an early breakthrough in the first session itself.

Ashes 5th Test Day 3 Live score: England 30/0 in 4 overs
Crawley on nine off 11, Duckett on 19 off 14. Hazlewood and Starc have bowled a lot of half volleys, especially on the legs of the two batters and they have made merry. Hazlewood did a little better off the last two deliveries of the fourth, Crawley had edged the fifth short of gully, then was beaten off the last one. Pat Cummins comes in to replace Starc at the other end for the fifth. Ricky Ponting in the commentary box seems absolutely flummoxed by the dissonance between the lines and lengths that the Aussies are bowling and their field placements.

Ashes 2023 Live score: Broad's black magic
Joe Root's catch to end Marnus Labuschagne's vigil rightly took all the plaudits but perhaps a tiny bit of the credit should go to Stuart Broad as well. Broad had interchanged the bails on Labuschagne's end just before the delivery and then “celebrated with” Usman Khawaja for a second when the wicket fell, in his own words. Considering Broad loves to take up the chance to stand for his version of the spirit of cricket, in which nicking to slips and not walking is fine but running a batter who has wandered out of his crease is not, a lot of Australian and South Asian sounding names on social media did point out if this little action was in keeping with that spirit.

Ashes 2023 Live score England vs Australia 5th Test Day 3: 'We didn't get a bigger lead', says Smith
After the final session yesterday, Smith said, "Would have been nice to have got a bigger lead, wicket played quite nice, a lot of us got starts. A couple of partnerships helped, we started a counterpunch, not a bad end to the day, but overall disappointed we didn't get a bigger lead."
"No set plan, they bowled really well this morning, credit where it's due. We took it deep and got more opportunities at the back end. It swung a lot, quite shiny and good swing bowlers. Not a great deal of seam. We want to keep the scoreboard ticking but guys are allowed to bowl well, it's Test cricket, got to respect it," he further added.
