  • England need 359 for victory in the final innings at Leeds.

    Hosts England are faced with an unprecedented task as they take the field against Australia on Day Four of the third Ashes Test at Headingley.

    England will start the day batting at 156-6, still 203 runs away from pulling off their highest successful run chase in Test cricket history. Skipper Joe Root holds the key to the side after he dug in with an unbeaten 75 on Saturday and how he fares on the penultimate day could decide the fate of the Test.

    Australia, meanwhile, are just seven wickets away from retaining the historic urn on England soil for the first time since 2001.

    Can the hosts pull off the improbable at Leeds or will Australia’s bowlers come back strongly with the second new-ball? Follow the ball-by-ball action from Headingley below to find out.
