Mitchell Marsh’s run-a-ball 118 was the cornerstone of Australia’s 263 all out on the first day of the third Ashes Test at Headingley on Thursday after the tourists collapsed either side of his blistering century. 

England fast bowler Mark Wood took 5-34 as the hosts backed up captain Ben Stokes’ decision to send the Aussies into bat after winning the toss. But it was also another day of missed opportunity for Stokes’s men as Joe Root dropped a regulation first slip catch off Chris Woakes when Marsh had made just 12.
