Ashes: Head, Smith Carry Aus To 518/7 At Stumps On Day 3 In Sydney
Sydney Cricket Ground: Travis Head (163) and Steven Smith (129 not out) guided Australia to take control of the fifth Ashes Test as the hosts reached 518/7 at stumps on Day 3, taking a 134-run lead over England here at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
In response to England's 384 first-innings score, Head proved imperious at the top of the order once more, bringing up his 12th Test century at a rate of close to a run a ball. Head resumed on 91 at the beginning of day three alongside Michael Neser, who survived the final session of day two in protection of Smith.
Neser survived a reviewed English appeal for caught behind before Head brought up three figures soon after with a push out to the off-side for four. The breakthrough for England came after 90 minutes when Brydon Carse had Neser caught off for 24.
