The Ashes: Third Test

From Thu, Sky Sports Main Event HD & Sky

Sports The Ashes HD, play starts 11am

There’ll be big crowds at Headingley

as the Yorkshire ground stages its

first Ashes Test for 10 years. James

Anderson, who played in that 2009

match, will hope to be back from the

calf injury that curtailed his efforts

in the series opener, which Australia

won by 251 runs. Steve Smith’s two

centuries at Edgbaston made him

only the fifth Australian batsman to

score hundreds in both innings of an

Ashes Test, and only the third Aussie

to achieve the milestone in England.
