England Lose Duckett in Chase of Record 435 to Keep Ashes Alive

Travis Head scored 168 runs and Ben Stokes took crucial wickets as Australia built a 420-run lead in the Ashes third Test at Adelaide, officials said.

  • On December 20, 2025, Australia’s lead surpassed 400 at Adelaide Oval as Travis Head, Australia batter, reached 168 on day four.
  • Building on their overnight position, Head reached 150 off 205 balls while Australia wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey added 20, benefiting from England bowling and fielding errors.
  • England captain Ben Stokes set a leg-slip trap and caught Alex Carey, while Josh Tongue deceived Josh Inglis whose dismissal was overturned by DRS soon after.
  • The target of 435 means England must chase a record to win and keep the series alive, as no team has chased more than 316 at the Adelaide Oval.
  • With the extra half hour there will be about 75 overs, and selectors face questions over Josh Inglis after his 10 as the England lead figure sits around 429.
