England’s quest for Australia wickets in the third Ashes Test at Headingley resumed on Saturday after rain had kept the players off the field for most of the 
third day. Following an umpires’ inspection, the game eventually restarted at 15:45 GMT only for a fresh shower to halt play again after just one over from Chris Woakes yielded two runs. But minutes later the match got going again, with the Test on knife edge. 

At the time of going to press, Australia were 147-6 in their second innings, a lead of 173 runs, as they looked to go 3-0 up in the five-match series and secure a first Ashes campaign triumph in England since 2001.
