The Ashes 2025 third Test LIVE: ‘I was trying to run to Smudger’: Marnus’ hilarious take on classic catch

Cam Green has copped a lot of criticism for his poor batting in his series but now he’s been thrown the ball after troubling England in the first innings.

“He just gives the attack balance,” Mark Waugh said on Fox Cricket.

“If you wanted to play two spinners, for example, he could be the third seamer, assuming he is fit.”

England are 2-86 with Crawley 26 and Root 28 chasing 435 to win.
