England and Australia continue their third Test match on Monday, barring a rain delay. Watch the live stream HERE.
Precipitation has been the biggest hindrance to the third Test. Prior to the Test Day 5 rain stoppage, England was 37/3 (20.3) in the fourth inning. England can clinch the Test series with a win - the squad won the first Test by 14 runs and the second Test by 347 runs.
Australia, meanwhile, is on a streak of six straight Test losses, IBN Live reports. While most doubt a comeback from the team, Australian captain Michael Clarke hasn't given up hope.
"I honestly believe we can win this series - and I know there are a lot of people out there that will laugh at me saying that," Clarke told IBN Live on Wednesday. "But I wouldn't be here today if I thought this team wasn't good enough to have success. The reality is, our backs are against the wall. But if we play our best cricket, I think we will give it a real shake for the rest of the series."
Australia's batsmen have struggled in the series. Prior to the start of the third Test, no Australian batter has scored more than 81 in an inning. The team recalled David Warner, who it hopes can light a spark on the batting front.
"He's got 190-odd runs under his belt, which is obviously a positive considering our batters haven't made many runs so far on this tour," Clarke said. "I think Davey at the time made it pretty clear that he was extremely apologetic for what occurred [with Joe Root]."
Projected Squads:
England: Alastair Cook (c), Joe Root, Jonathan Trott, Kevin Pietersen, Ian Bell, Johnny Bairstow, Matt Prior (wk), Tim Bresnan, Stuart Broad, Graeme Swann, James Anderson.
Australia: Shane Watson, Chris Rogers, Usman Khawaja, Phillip Hughes, Michael Clarke (c), Steve Smith/David Warner, Brad Haddin (wk), Peter Siddle, Mitchell Starc, Ryan Harris, Nathan Lyon.
