The Ashes 2025 LIVE updates: Ollie Pope throws his wicket away as Michael Neser lands double blow under lights

The third and final session of the day is upon us. Australia with a chance to recalibrate after those first six overs went for plenty and didn’t find much swing. Maybe a touch shorter this time round. Zak Crawley looking good.

Brendan Doggett into the attack accordingly. Duckett on strike. Two slips and a gully, men in the deep at point and backward square leg.

First ball: Back of a length and across the left hander. Defended to cover.

Second ball: Tad shorter again and a bit of movement away. Duckett plays and misses. That was promising.

Third ball: A touch fuller and looking for the same movement. Duckett rides the angle with a single through the big gap wide of gully.

Fourth ball: Full on sixth stump. Crawley leaves, that dies on the way through to Carey despite air speed of 136.8km/hr.

Fifth ball: A touch tighter, good length and Crawley is cautiously defending. Beats the bat.

Sixth ball: Straight and coming back. Hits Crawley on the front pad. Good shout but turned down. Height was the issue there, hit him above the knee roll and would’ve bounced over leg stump.

Good start from Doggett. Scott Boland from the other end.

England 0-46: Crawley 26*, Duckett 14* trail Australia by 131 runs
