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)

Haddin out for 8 trying to force the pace caught Broad bowled Anderson, Aus 152/6
Aus 172/6 (off 35 overs and 1 ball) lead by 331 runs
Sri Lanka 13/1 after 1 and a half overs chasing target of 146
Aus 172/7 – Starc out for 11
Play has been called off at moment for bad light with Aus on 172/7 – 331 ahead. Sounds like Michael Clarke was not at all happy obviously wants to play as long as possible but umpires decided it was too dangerous to continue
Sri Lanka 42/2 off 5 overs and 5 balls. Tsotsobe has 2 wickts for 15 off 3 overs so far. Parnell has gone for 12 off his first 5 deliveries
Sri Lanka 44/2 after 7 overs. Tsotsobe has bowled his 4 overs in one go, good figures of 2 for 17
Sri Lanka 52/3 after 9 overs, wicket in first over for Tahir got Perera LBW. Sri Lanka need 94 off 11 overs at a rate of 8.54, with Sangakarra still there its still anybodys game
Sri Lanka 72/3 after 11 and a half overs, Wiese already conceded 18 off 2 and half overs
SL 75/3 after 12 overs, need 71 off 48 balls to win
SL 83/3 in 14th over
SL 85/4 1 BALL LEFT IN 14TH OVER, WICKET FOR PARNELL
Tahir with 2 warnings in his last over
From cricinfo: Australia’s captain Michael Clarke fumed as the umpires made the unilateral decision to take the teams off for bad light with the tourists leading by 331 runs on the fourth evening of the Old Trafford Test. Tony Hill and Marais Erasmus judged conditions to be unsafe for play, to the obvious disgust of Clarke but the barely concealed relief of his opposite number Alastair Cook, as England need only a draw in Manchester to retain the Ashes.
No side has chased more than 294 to win in the fourth innings at the ground, but Clarke appeared to be pushing towards a lead of around 350 with more than 30 overs still scheduled to be bowled on the fourth evening. The hosts had reduced Australia’s chances of forcing the victory they need to keep the series alive with doughty lower order batting on the fourth morning, but were then conspicuous in their time-wasting tactics in the field.
Matthews also gone. SL 88/5
@ Bullscot:How are you Bully? Got your tickets yet?
….and another – great catch by David Wiese. Sangakkara gone for 39. SL 90/6
Morkel gets another, Kulasekera gone for 10 as he nicks through to de Kock. SL 112/7 after 18.2 overs requiring 146 to win
Sri Lanka 120/7 – 4 balls left
Played been called off for rest of day at Old Trafford with Australia on 172/7 a lead of 331 runs
Proteas have won!
SA win by 22 runs
A very good last over from Parnell only cost 5 runs and left Sri Lanka on 123/7 after their 20 overs – South Africa win by 22 runs – quite comprehensive victory in a 20 overs chase
Sangakkara top scored with 39 for Sri Lanka, 2 wickets each for Tsotsobe and Morne Morkel.
