ENGLAND kept their Ashes dream alive with a nail-biting three-wicket win over Australia at Headingley.
Harry Brook was the hero as he scored 75 but it was up to Chris Woakes and Mark Wood to get England over the line.
Harry Brook’s knock of 75 runs inspired England’s victory
Chris Woakes played a key role in the win with bat and ball
Mitchell Starc’s five-for couldn’t inspire Australia to victory
Woakes took six wickets across two innings and his knock of 28 gives England hope of winning The Ashes, with the Aussies now leading the series 2-1 with two Tests remaining.
Australia could have wrapped up the series in West Yorkshire and piled on the pressure after taking the wickets of Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow in quick succession after lunch.
They gave themselves a glimmer of hope when Brook’s wicket fell with England needing 21 to win, but Mitchell Starc was unable to add to his five-for as Woakes hit the winning runs.
Stokes gave England a fighting chance after scoring 80 in the first innings – Zak Crawley was next best with 33 which shows how much England struggled with the bat in this Test match.
