Alex Carey’s superb century led Australia to 326-8 as a spirited England bowling display kept the tourists’ faint Ashes hopes alive on the first day of the third Test in Adelaide.
Trailing 2-0 in the five-match series after heavy defeats in Perth and Brisbane, England’s hopes of making an unlikely comeback suffered a further blow when returning Australia captain Pat Cummins won the toss to earn the home side first hit in batting-friendly conditions.
However, Ben Stokes’ side defied the baking heat and seemingly flat surface at the Adelaide Oval to take regular wickets, with only Usman Khawaja (82) – called into the side at the last moment as a replacement for the unwell Steve Smith – and Carey (106) making proper use of the conditions.
