“2nd Ashes Test: Rain forces early stumps on Day 3 as Australia lead by 221 runs”

Rain played spoilsport in the second Ashes Test match between England and
Australia, forcing an early end to the day’s play on Day 3. The persistent
rain showers disrupted the game, making the field conditions unfit for
play, and the umpires decided to call an early stumps. Prior to the
interruption, Australia had taken a significant lead of 221 runs over
England, positioning themselves strongly in the Test match. The rain delay
adds another twist to the highly anticipated Ashes series, as both teams
now have to factor in the lost playing time while formulating their
strategies for the remaining days of the Test.
