Nathan Lyon's Historic Performance Shakes Ashes Test

Nathan Lyon took two wickets in his first over to surpass Glenn McGrath on Australia's all-time bowling list during the third Ashes test. England struggled at 132-5, needing a big innings from Ben Stokes to stay in the series. Australia's first innings ended at 371, thanks largely to Mitchell Starc's 54.

Nathan Lyon made history by taking two crucial wickets in his first over, moving past Glenn McGrath for second place on Australia's all-time test wicket-takers list. By tea on Day 2 of the third Ashes test, England found themselves in a precarious position at 132-5.

Earlier, Jofra Archer reduced Australia's tail, dismissing Mitchell Starc for a valiant 54 and Nathan Lyon to complete a five-wicket haul. Australia was all out for 371 after starting the day at 326-8 as England aimed to negate the Australian bowling attack.

England will look to captain Ben Stokes for a revival after a series of quick wickets. Stokes, who survived being hit by a short-pitched ball, stood unbeaten at 19 by the session's end. England urgently needs victory in Adelaide to reignite hopes of reclaiming the Ashes.
