CORE SUBJECT
Third Ashes Test cricket match
Adelaide (Australia) (AFP) - Skipper Ben Stokes hit a gritty 83 as England were dismissed for 286 in their first innings of the must-win third Ashes Test against Australia on Friday.
They trail by 85 runs after the hosts were all out for 371, spearheaded by Alex Carey's 106.
England resumed day three at 213-8 with Stokes not out 45 and Jofra Archer on 30.
The pair shared in a battling 106-run ninth-wicket stand before Mitchell Starc, with the new ball, bowled Stokes, whose half-century was his slowest ever in a Test.
Archer was the last wicket to fall, caught by Marnus Labuschagne off Scott Boland for 51 -- his highest Test score and a maiden half-century.
Boland ended with 3-45 while Pat Cummins took 3-69 in his first Test since July after lower back issues.
Australia lead the five-Test series 2-0 and will retain the Ashes if they win or draw, after back-to-back eight-wicket thumpings in Perth and Brisbane.
