England Commanding In Third Test.

When the coin came down as a tail, skipper Joe Root knew what to do. He was home at Headingley: it was cool; damp, heavy cloud cover and intermittent rain. He had to put the Aussies in and let the ball do the work.
In the end, the ball swung excessively and the Aussie batsmen played and missed more than fifty times during the innings!
Archer - not bowling anything like his fastest - took a fine sixfer. Broad too bowled really well.
Woakes was not at his best and Ben Stokes a long way from his.
Even so, the England attack removed the final wicket in the last over of the day and the antipodeans were all out for just 179.

There may be cloud tomorrow morning but when the sun comes out, England must dip their bread. They must try to put a huge score on the board and may be helped as conditions improve but they must remember that the sun will be beating down when the Aussies start their second innings.

All the honours to England on Day One.
