Lyon puts Australia on brink of Ashes win
England face impending Ashes defeat as Australia's Nathan Lyon dismantles their resistance in the third Test in Adelaide, leaving the visitors at 194-6 chasing a target of 435. Lyon's crucial wickets of Brook, Stokes, and Crawley put Australia on the cusp of a series win. The visitors' chances hinge on salvaging the match, with Stokes showing resilience but the team struggling to counter Australia's dominance. Australia needs only four more wickets to secure a 3-0 series lead and retain the Ashes in just 11 days.
