Read our privacy policy England will be seeking to build an imposing lead before getting into Australia’s batters on the third day of the must-win fourth Ashes Test – although the hosts could be frustrated by the elements. Half-centuries from Joe Root and makeshift number three Moeen Ali in assertive ton-plus stands with Crawley boosted England, who had earlier bowled out Australia for 317 as Chris Woakes claimed his maiden Ashes five-wicket haul at Emirates Old Trafford. Three is the Moeen number Sir Ian Botham - 5,200 runs and 383 wickets in 102 Tests Andrew Flintoff - 3,845 runs and 226 wickets in 79 Tests Stuart Broad - 3,640 runs and 600 wickets in 166 Tests Moeen Ali - 3,031 runs and 201 wickets in 67 Tests There was plenty of scepticism and trepidation at Moeen continuing to bat at number three. Cross was a pivotal figure in the drawn multi-format Women’s Ashes series, which the England and Wales Cricket Board announced had drawn an attendance of 110,000 – almost five times greater than four years ago.
