England beat Australia in thriller to keep Ashes hopes alive

England beat Australia by three wickets in a nail-biting third Test  at Headingley yesterday to keep the five-match Ashes series alive.   
Harry Brook and Chris Woakes shared a crucial partnership  of 59 that took England to the brink of victory before Brook fell for 75  to Mitchell Starc (5-78).   
The recalled duo of Woakes (32 not out) and Mark Wood (16  not out) then saw England home with more than a day to spare to cut  Australia’s series lead to 2-1.   
The series continues with the fourth Test at Old Trafford  starting on July 19, with Australia now having two games in which to  seal their first Ashes campaign triumph in England in 22 years.   

England are bidding to become just the second team to win a  Test series from 2-0 down after the 1936/37 Australia side, inspired by  batting great Don Bradman, that recovered from that deficit to win the  Ashes 3-2.   (AFP)
