Steve Smith, who had scored 17 not out, and night watchman Scott Boland, unbeaten on three, will resume on Sunday looking to build on Australia’s lead and put the hosts on course to wrap up the series 4-0.“There are the kinds of night session you’ve got to be wary of if you get caught with a new ball.

Dawid Malan and his captain Joe Root put together a 49-run partnership that looked like bringing some solidity to the England innings but Cummins dismissed them both in short order.
