England 67 all out in third Ashes Test
LEEDS, United Kingdom, Aug 23, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – England were dismissed
for just 67 on the second day of the third Ashes Test against Australia at
Headingley on Friday.
Fast bowler Josh Hazlewood took five wickets for 30 runs, with England’s
collapse leaving them 112 runs behind after Australia made 179 in their first
innings.
Joe Denly, with 12, was the only batsman to reach double figures in an
innings that lasted a mere 27.5 overs, with England captain Joe Root out for
his second successive duck.
England’s total was their 12th lowest in Test cricket and seven fewer than
the 74 Marnus Labuschagne — replacing concussed star Australia batsman Steve
Smith — scored off his own bat on Thursday.
Australia lead the five-match series 1-0 and victory in Leeds would see
them retain the Ashes.
