England Crumbles Under Ashes Pressure

England faces a series-deciding defeat in the third test against Australia after struggling under extreme heat and pressure at Adelaide Oval. The team was left at 213 for eight at stumps, trailing by 158 runs. Captain Ben Stokes remained defiant, but challenges persisted, raising questions about England's strategy.

Amid sweltering heat and mounting tension, England's hopes in the Ashes faded at Adelaide Oval, leaving them on the brink of a series-deciding defeat to Australia. Australia asserted dominance, ensuring England remained 158 runs behind at stumps on the second day.

Ben Stokes, battling cramps, and Jofra Archer showed resolve, but failed strategies from England's top order left the team trailing. Australia, already leading the series 2-0, need only a draw to retain the Ashes, which they have held since 2017/18.

Controversies over the 'Snicko' technology resurfaced, while Australian bowlers dismantled England's batting line-up. As tensions escalated on day two, England faced an uphill climb, adding pressure to deliver in upcoming sessions.
