Highlights: Jofra Archer registered his maiden fifer on the first day of the 3rd Test between England and Australia at Leeds. The right-armer picked up 6 wickets for 45 runs as the hosts bowled out Aussies for 179 at stumps. In the absence of Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne impressed, scoring 74 runs and becoming the top scorer for the side. Out of form David Warner also registered his first fifty in the series, getting out for 61. But none of the other batsmen were able to bear the brunt of English pace, and England took control of the proceedings at stumps on Day 1.
