US EditionHead's Hundred Helps Australia to a 356-Run Lead in 3rd Ashes Test Against England
- At Adelaide Oval, Travis Head scored a century on Friday, his fourth straight at the venue, as Australia led by 356 with Head unbeaten on 142 and a 122-run stand with Alex Carey.
- After a reprieve on 99 from Harry Brook, England slip fielder, Head surged aggressively, reflecting his freewheeling 'Travball' style following promotion to opener earlier in the series.
- Head reached his ton off 146 balls, striking eight fours and two sixes; the knock was his 11th Test century in 63 matches and his Adelaide average has climbed above 82.
- The result puts Australia close to clinching the Ashes within 24 hours, as England faces a likely world-record fourth-innings chase after earlier defeats in Perth and Brisbane.
- Head's feat places him alongside historic greats such as Bradman as the fourth Australian to score centuries in four successive Tests at the same venue, while the Adelaide crowd and merch phenomenon grows amid selection questions on Labuschagne and Green.
