That puts the pressure on them to make the running and push the game forward.
When they have to push the envelope with Baz ball they make mistakes and wickets fall.
This test they could play smart with their batting and go at 4-5 an over rather than 5-6.

While Im not a huge fan of him in the whites, I saw someone mention that Zampa should be on the plane, get the ball moving away from the Bazball bats, I think it should happen.

Zanpa can't turn his leg break can he?

1- Previous instance of England winning the third match of an Ashes series after losing the first two. Before this series, England lost the first two matches of an Ashes series on 19 occasions but won the following Test only once - which was in a three-match series during their 1891-92 tour.
5.08- England's run rate during the fourth innings in Leeds, the fifth highest for a successful chase of a 250-plus target. Four of the top six fastest 250-plus run chases in Test cricket have now been completed by England under the leadership of Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum.
5- Number of successful 250-plus chases by England in Test cricket since June 2022. Only twice have they lost chasing 250-plus in this period - by one run against New Zealand in Wellington earlier this year and in their previous game at Lord's. During the same timeframe, the remaining Test teams won only three out of the 15 attempted chases of 250 runs or more.
2019- The last instance of Australia losing a Test match where they lost the toss - that was also against England in 2019, in their previous Leeds thriller. Between the two defeats at Headingley, Australia lost the toss in 11 Tests but won ten games. Last year's high-scoring draw at Rawalpindi, against Pakistan, was the only exception.
1058- Balls Harry Brook needed to complete 1000 runs in Test cricket, making him the fastest man to get there in terms of balls faced. The previous quickest was Colin de Grandhomme, who got to the milestone in 1140 balls. Ben Duckett, who got to 1000 Test runs at Lord's, needed 1168 balls to get there and is now the fourth quickest, while Tim Southee (1167) is at number three.
17 Test innings needed for Brook to reach 1000 runs, the joint-third fastest for England. Only Herbert Sutcliffe (12) and Len Hutton (16) took fewer innings than Brook, while Gary Ballance also reached there in 17 innings.
59 Partnership between Brook and Chris Woakes for the seventh wicket in the run chase. It was the only fifty-plus stand for England in the entire match. Only once have England won a Test in the last 40 years with a highest partnership lower than 59 runs - against West Indies at Bridgetown in 2004.
