England vs. Australia Ashes Third Test: When and where is it, how to watch, latest odds, and team news

Despite the eye-popping heroics of skipper Ben Stokes, England agonisingly lost the Second Ashes Test as Australia took a 2-0 Series lead with three matches left to play.
We barely have time to catch our breath with the Third Test honing into view today.
Below we look at when and where the next match will take place, how to watch the action, the latest match and series odds, as well as the team news.
When is the Third Test Match of the Ashes?
After a brief break, the Ashes returns at 11am on Thursday 6th July with the Third Test running through until Monday 10th.
Where is the Third Ashes Test being held?
Two Ashes Tests have whizzed by in the blink of an eye and, while it's been incredibly enthralling, England find themselves 2-0 down following defeats at Edgbaston and Lord's.
Ben Stokes and co will be hoping for a sprinkling of fortune in Leeds at Headingley, a famous venue drenched in iconic moments such as the Stokes and Jack Leach partnership back in 2019 which saw England conjure up a dramatic win.
Another win at Headingley will put England on the board at 1-2, however a defeat or draw will see the Aussies retain the Urn.
