Ashes 2019: Australia rule out bouncer battle, aim for 2-0 in Leeds

By Saurabh Sharma August 21, 2019 • 14:06 PM View: 1258

Leeds, Aug 21: Australia would look to leave behind Steve Smith's absence and extend their lead to 2-0 in the ongoing Ashes series when they take on England in the third Test beginning Thursday at Headingley.

After thrashing the hosts by 251 runs in the first Test at Edgbaston, the visitors were found wanting at Lord's during the majority of the rain-hit second Test as they eventually managed to draw the match after a tensed final session.
