David Warner again failed to impress against Stuart Broad, who dismissed him on Thursday for 4 off 5 balls handing England a much-needed terrific start in the 3rd Test of the Ashes 2023 series. Broad got Warner's wicket after Zak Crawley completely a sharp catch at second slip.
Just a ball before, Broad was packed for a boundary by Warner and he was pretty quick to respond with his bowling. Warner played a shot on the fifth stump line and Crawley made no mistake.
England captain Ben Stokes won the toss and elected to bowl first after making three changes in the lineup. Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes and Mark Wood got in as James Anderson, Tongue made way.

In the series, Smith has been in phenomenal form for Australia and therefore all the cricket fans are excepting his magic with the bat at Headingley. Smith had scored 110 runs in the first innings of the second test match, providing a solid base for Australia.

In the last match, England had to face their second defeat in the series. Even after Ben Stokes's incredible knock of 155 runs, England was not able to secure the win as they lost by 43 runs at the Lord's Cricket Ground on Sunday.
Australia started the Ashes series with a narrow win with the skipper Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon's resilient effort in the lower order.
