Ashes: ‘Headingley Test Was A Brilliant Game Of Cricket’, Says Nasser Hussain After England’s Victory

Leeds
Former captain Nasser Hussain has stated that the third Ashes Test at Headingley was a brilliant game of cricket, adding that Australia is probably experiencing similar emotions to those England encountered in their previous two matches.
Harry Brook’s aggressive 75 trumped Mitchell Starc’s five-wicket haul in a thrilling fourth day at Headingley, on Sunday, that saw England chase down a 251-run target to record a three-wicket win over Australia to keep the series alive at 2-1.
The third Test at Headingley was a brilliant game of cricket, and Australia will probably feel what England have felt in the past two games where they played a lot of good cricket and will try to work out where they lost it, said Hussain after the match.
Regarding England’s batting strategy in the last innings, Nasser Hussain commented that Chris Woakes and Mark Wood demonstrated a well-executed approach when they took to the crease on the fourth day.
Hailing Mark Wood’s exceptional performance, Nasser Hussain commended his outstanding contribution of seven wickets and a rapid 40-run innings in both matches, which played a pivotal role in England’s triumphant victory at Headingley.
Following the win, England now trail Australia 1-2 in the five-match series with the fourth Test scheduled to be played at Old Trafford in Manchester from July 19 to 23.
