    Ashes: Carey, Khawaja Shine As Australia Reach 326-8 At Stumps On Day 1 Of Adelaide Test

    Boxing Day Test: Australia wicketkeeper batter Alex Carey delivered a batting masterclass on his home ground to guide his team to a strong start on the opening day of the third Ashes Test, as the hosts reached 326-8 here at the Adelaide Oval.

    After an early collapse where the hosts found themselves reeling at 94/4, Carey, along with last-minute addition Usman Khawaja, added 91 runs for the fifth wicket to rescue Australia. The 38-year-old left-hander was eventually out on 82 but delivered a fine performance, after being moved down the batting order, hitting several boundaries on the leg side to reach 41 by lunch.

    Steve Smith was ruled out of the third Test match with a potential 'vestibular issue'. Smith's last-minute withdrawal saw veteran batter Usman Khawaja return to Australia’s XI after missing out on the first two Tests in Perth and Brisbane.
