Ashes, 3rd Test: Head's Masterclass Takes Aus To 271/4 At Stumps On Day 3, Lead Eng By 356 Runs
Opener Travis Head: Opener Travis Head's unbeaten 142, along with Alex Carey's (52 not out), helped Australia build a big lead and push England to the brink of losing the Ashes series as the hosts took a 356-run lead after reaching 271/4 at stumps on Day 3 of the third Test at the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide on Friday.
Head, who was dropped by Harry Brook on 99, scored his second century of the series and 11th Test century. Overall, it was Head's fourth hundred against England.
England had a pretty good first session, as skipper Ben Stokes (83) led from the front, putting on 106 for the ninth wicket with Jofra Archer (51) as the visitors briefly threatened a fightback on the third morning, adding 73 runs to their overnight score of 213/8 to bring the deficit down to 85 runs before they were bowled out for 286.
