Last night, the cricket reigned high on the Ratings again, as the fifth and final test cricket powered on in day three.
Session three brought in a Total TV National Average Audience of 1,415,000 and a Total TV National Reach of 2,764,000.
Australia’s batsmen reigned in hard on England at the SCG on Tuesday, with Travis Head and Steve Smith scoring centuries to push the home side closer to a 4-1 Ashes series victory.
Australia batted the entire day to reach 7-518 at stumps, opening up a lead of 134 runs, which could set a platform for a potential innings victory given England’s underwhelming batting throughout much of the series.
Head’s 163 was the seventh score of 150 or more in his Test career – his highest remaining the 175 he made against the West Indies in 2022 – while Smith (129 not out) brought up his fifth century at the SCG and his first since Australia’s clash with South Africa in January 2023.
Session two brought in equally high Average Audience numbers, with 1,129,000.
Over on Nine, the 2026 United Cup day 5 didn’t bring in quite as many Average Audience viewers, with only 378,000 tuning in.
Nine’s Tipping Point Australia raked in a Total TV National Average Audience of 521,000 and a Total TV National Reach of 1,098,000.
Channel 10’s Mission Impossible: Fallout brought in a Total TV National reach of 613,000 and a Total TV National Average Audience of 139,000.
