England are 2-0 down with 3 to play, meaning they need 3 wins from 3 to win the Ashes. Things started well with wickets before lunch before Mitch Marsh went ballistic and smashed an amazing ton. England dropped a load of catches along the way, which was atrocious. A comeback from 2-0 down is a feat which hasn't happened in almost 100 years. Heading to Headingley, a happy hunting ground for them in recent years, they will look to take the first step back into the contest. We ask is there any hope left?Use the code TCP23 for 10% off at seriouscricket.co.ukUse the code: THECRICKETPOD for 20% off + free shipping at Manscaped.comLinks to podcast audio: https://linktr.ee/thecricketpodOur website: thecricketpod.comSupport the podcast: patreon.com/thecricketpodBuy merchandise: https://seriouscricket.co.uk/teamwear...Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecricketpodBuy coffee: https://cricketcoffeeco.com/products/...Twitter and Instagram: @thecricketpod Learn more about your ad choices.
