England dismissed Australia for 263 runs on the first day of the third test at Headingly in Leeds overnight, in what was an action-packed day of cricket.

Mitchell Marsh managed the only score of note for the visitors, making 118 off 118 balls before he was caught in the slips.

But Australia did claim three English wickets before the day's end, to have the hosts on 68 for 3 at stumps.
