TV Guide: The Ashes: Third Test on Nine and 9Now

The Ashes have taken a fiery turn and England will be out to overtake Australia's 2-0 series lead in the Third Test, live from 7:30 pm AEST Thursday, July 6, on Nine and 9Now. 

After the Second Test went down to the wire in controversy, the series will now be held at Headingley in Leeds. Australia rose above the hostile crowd at Lord's and are ready to add another win in the north of England. 

Usman Khawaja and Steve Smith have led with the bat so far while Pat Cummins has been at his best for the Aussie bowling attack. Captain Ben Stokes will hold the aces for England with his effective batting style if the home team are to win the third match in the five-test series. 

Nine's commentary team is hosted by Roz Kelly, with expert comments from former Australian captain Mark Taylor, Ashes winner Ian Healy and former international Callum Ferguson. Taylor will be joined on the ground by Louise Ransome. 

Mark Taylor said: “After a superb test match at Lord’s, with its share of controversy, the Aussies are a win away from breaking a 22-year drought and winning a series in England.

“A draw will do for Australia but neither side will be thinking that way. The pressure is firmly on England but if their captain Ben Stokes is the benchmark, they will come out swinging in Leeds.

“England have good memories from Leeds four years ago but the Aussies are desperate to hang onto the urn. Another great contest awaits.”
