England Battle to Save Ashes as Australia Rip Through Top-Order

On Thursday, Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon left England 59-3 at lunch in the third Ashes Test at Adelaide Oval after Australia were dismissed for 371, leaving the visitors 312 behind.
Following his omission, Nathan Lyon returned in the 10th over under Pat Cummins, taking two wickets in four balls, including Ollie Pope and Ben Duckett.
Career figures show Lyon reached 564 Test wickets, surpassing Glenn McGrath, with only Shane Warne ahead on 708 wickets in Australia's all-time list.
England face a must-win situation with Joe Root 11 and Harry Brook six, while Australia lead the series and can retain the urn with a win or draw.
Off-Field selection debates and on-field errors marked the series, as Lyon's earlier omission was defended by Michael Neser's five-wicket haul and a Snicko error involving Zak Crawley.
