ENG vs AUS Dream11: Ashes 2023 – England will battle it out with Australia in the third Ashes Test starting Thursday (July 6). Pat Cummins & Co have taken a 2-0 lead in the five-match Test series, and are a win away from sealing the series and retaining the Ashes. The hosts have entered a must-win territory and cannot afford any more slip-ups. Bazball has failed to work its magic against World Champions Australia and Ben Stokes & Co would be desperate for a turnaround.

Australia have so far shown resilience and character in both the Tests so far. Aussies have struck to their winning methods and have managed to win poignant moments of the match. Usman Khawaja, Travis Head, and Steve Smith have led the way with the bat in hand, while Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and Josh Hazlewood have been exceptional with the ball in hand. The visitors would be forced to make only one change as Nathan Lyon is ruled out of the Ashes due calf injury.
Speaking about England, they managed to mix caution with aggression in the Lord’s Test but were out by falling to Australia’s short-ball tactics. Batting has looked a bit vulnerable, with only Joe Root and Ben Duckett showing consistency.
While Stokes scored a scintillating hundred in the last Test, Harry Brook and Zak Crawley have struggled. With Headingley surface aiding batters, the hosts would fancy themselves to put on a better display with the bat in hand.
