Tweet Report – Ashes 2013, 4th Test, Day 3

For England, the start of the third day’s play was amazing. Swann broke the partnership between Haddin and Rogers. He picked up Haddin first and then Rogers with the help of DRS. With those two wickets Swann became the first bowler in this series to get 20 wickets. Haddin foolishly lost a review while Cook used the one to successfully send Rogers back.

  Anderson chipped in late by picking up the 8th and 9th wickets to help England wrap up Australia quickly. But it seems many on Twitter world don’t rate him too highly as he endured a lot of abuse from the fans.

 

 

Stuart Broad made sure Australians didn’t bat for long as he trapped Harris in front. Tony Hill again came for some flak for initially giving that not out. Broad finished with a much deserved five-for, while Australia led by 32 runs.

England started their second innings poorly as Root was bowled by a beauty from Harris. He also picked up Cook and Trott within a space of few deliveries to leave England reeling.

 

Thanks to KP and Bell, England put together partnership. However, Lyon picked up KP again but not before the swash-buckling batsman had put the England in a comfortable position.

The Daily dose of controversy duly arrived when the umpires took the players off the field due to Bad light, a decision that angered one and all. However, Sun was out quickly and players were back on the ground in 10 minutes.

Bell scored his 3rd century in this series and praise started pouring in from all sides. Bairstow, on the other hand, could not hold on for long and Bresnan came in as a nightwatchman.
