Ashes Third Test Day Two: Australia Leads as England Considers Snicko Complaint
The third Ashes Test between Australia and England resumed at the Adelaide Oval for day two, with Australia having won the toss and opted to bat first. At the close of day one, Australia had reached 326-8, with Alex Carey unbeaten on 106 and Usman Khawaja on 82. Carey was on 72 when a controversial Snicko incident occurred, where a spike suggested he might have been out, but the third umpire upheld the on-field not out decision.
England are now contemplating a formal complaint regarding the Snicko decision. Jofra Archer was notable for England, carrying figures of 2-7 at one stage and identified as their best bowler as the team sought to make inroads against the Australian batsmen. England's bowling strategy has largely relied on medium-fast seamers with the keeper standing up to the stumps, especially considering the absence of several senior Australian bowlers.
Pat Cummins returned to the Australian side for this match, and by stumps on day one, Australia remained dominant at 326-8. The match continues with Australia's strong first innings display and England striving to challenge effectively.
