England take third test to keep Ashes alive

From Morning Report, 8:25 am on 10 July 2023

It was Woakes rather than Stokes who brought England home in the Ashes test at Headingly in Leeds.

Coming into the day England needed 224 runs to win with all their wickets in hand.

After some early scares they reached the Australian total with 3 wickets to spare. Australia lead the series 2-1 with the next test at Old Trafford next week.
