England has been set a tough target of 359 to win the third test against Australia and keep alive its hopes of regaining the Ashes.

Australia was bowled out for 246 in its second innings, after resuming Day 3 on 171-6.

Marnus Labuschagne made 80, one run off his highest test score, before being run out. Jofra Archer, who took 6-43 in the first innings, claimed two of the four wickets to fall Saturday to finish 2-40. Ben Stokes had 3-56.
