Playing in Ashes gave me confidence: Joe Denly

Denly sustained an ankle injury which forced him to miss the T20I series against New Zealand.

Australia's bowling line-up forces England work hard for every run, says Joe Denly

England ended day three of the final Test in a strong position after extending their lead to 382.

Roy, who was handed his test debut, has failed to deliver at the top of the order in the first three tests of the series.

In the first inning, England displayed a very dismal performance as they were bundled out on just 67 runs by the Australian bowlers.

Denly, 33, had endured a lean series, failing to score 50 in 4 innings and averaging 19.4 to come under pressure for his place in the side.
