Travis Head set the tone early, igniting the match with another decisive hundred that lifted the tempo and left England exposed. Once Head departed, Steve Smith took over, delivering a century built on discipline, patience, and total control. It was vintage Smith, marked by patience, clarity, and an absolute refusal to take the bait, as Australia seized command of day three.
Corbin and Ed then turned to the man of the series debate, weighing Mitchell Starc’s wickets against Head’s match-shaping hundreds, before deciding the conversation could wait.
Australia’s depth again became a key talking point. Cameron Green’s frustration after another start without a defining score was contrasted with Beau Webster’s calm, accomplished contribution, while Usman Khawaja’s dismissal was not the farewell many fans had hoped for in his final Test.
The discussion closed with a blunt assessment of England’s unravelling, with missed chances, mounting pressure, and fading confidence defining a day that increasingly felt one-sided.ABC Grandstand cricket commentator Corbin Middlemas is joined by Ed Cowan to bring you all the highlights and match analysis to keep you up to speed. The pair discuss the key players and big issues that are dominating the cricket agenda. Whether it's Ashes results, the latest in live fixtures or you just need a hit of cricket banter.
