Australia won the toss and chose to bat first against England in the 3rd Ashes Test at Old Trafford. Australia made three changes to their side with David Warner, Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon who came into the side. The England side was unchanged.
The pitch wass dry and hard to start with, which supplied a bit of bounce first up and spin was forecast reasonably soon. Atmospheric conditions on the 1st day was conducive to swing early on before temperatures rose too much.
The match ended in a dull draw with a lot of rain delaying play in the last days, forcing Australie to declare their 2nd innings at 172 / 7, setting England the ungettable target of 332 runs off just over 20 overs remaining in the match. England were 37 / 3 when the game was stopped and the draw announced.
Australia 527 / 7 Declared & 172 / 7 Declared (36.0 overs)
England 368 All Out & 37 / 3 (20.3 overs)

Good night
England will retain the Ashes as the 3rd test will end in a draw. At the moment Australia have a lead of 331 but will have no time to bowl England out in a sodden Manchester.
Latest from Old Trafford as that the players are still off the field due to rain.
Michael Clarke declared setting England an un-gettable target of 332, and got to bowl 20 overs at England in morning session. England struggled and the latest score is 37/3. They got back on for 3 balls after lunch until rain forced them off again. Field is very wet.
Game has been abandoned so ends in a draw. This means England retain the Ashes in an unassailable position of 2-0 up in the series with two tests to go.
