#Ashtag - Daily social wrap
Day 3 of the first day-night Ashes Test went Australia's way for the most part as it bowled England out for 227, and gave the spectators plenty to cheer about with some spectacular efforts on the field. England's bowlers, though, fought back in Monday’s (December 4) final session, finally getting the movement they craved.
Nathan Lyon and Mitchell Starc pulled off Superman-like catches.

Lyon, in fact, was part of interesting moments all day.
Cricket or yoga?

Mitchell Johnson enjoyed England's troubles.
Someone/a couple of people are going to have to do something pretty special for @englandcricket in Adelaide #ashes

But with James Anderson and Chris Woakes dismantling the Australian top order cheaply in the second innings, there was some excitement in the England camp.
Anderson is getting the best outswing shape of the match if not the series to date #Ashes

Woakes much improved late on this evening, making the ball move off the seam and taking the wickets of both Warner and Smith#Ashes pic.twitter.com/MlWx7yd9xY

Great comeback from England ... Got a Small sniff but it’s only a small one ... 315 the largest ever total chased here in #Adelaide ... #Ashes

Great days play here in Adelaide. Aust missed a trick by not enforcing the follow on under lights & I feel it was possibly a sports science decision not a cricket decision. Aust still ahead in the game as they lead by 265 but if England could chase 350 or less then you never know
