Travis Head Shines Again as Australia Dominates England in Ashes

Travis Head scored his second century of the Ashes series, leading Australia toward a commanding position against England on day three at Adelaide Oval. Australia's strong performance, marked by a 356-run lead, leaves them on the brink of retaining the urn.

Travis Head once again proved to be England's chief adversary, hitting his second Ashes century on day three at Adelaide Oval, propelling Australia towards a dominant position for a series victory. Head's unbeaten 142 helped Australia reach 271 for four at stumps, commanding a significant 356-run lead after dismissing England for 286 earlier in the day.

With a 2-0 lead in the five-match series, following decisive wins in Perth and Brisbane, Australia needs only a draw in the current Test to retain the Ashes. South Australian Alex Carey partnered with Head, adding another unbeaten 52 runs to form a 122-run partnership, further consolidating Australia's advantage.

Despite England captain Ben Stokes not bowling due to exhaustion, the English efforts were thwarted by Head's formed partnerships, pushing the game further away from their grasp. England's early hopes of limiting damage faded as Carey continued to build his innings. The day closed with England trailing significantly, despite earlier resistance displayed in half-centuries from Stokes and Archer.
