    It does look bleak - unless they can suddenly conjure Smith out.

    Australia had a bit of an off-day in the field yesterday, summed up by this drop by Josh Hazlewood.

    He's got a bit of a bruise on his chest, apparently, to go along with a bit of wounded pride.

    Evening! We all well? Welcome to the third day of the final Ashes Test. Australia will be resuming in about 15 minutes time on 193-2, with Usman Khawaja just nine runs away form his first Ashes century. Steve Smih's there, too, because Steve Smith doesn't seem to have spent a minute away from the crease in this series.

    Can England get these two out?

    Usman Khawaja has one eye on a maiden Ashes hundred; Steve Smith has been an immovable object throughout this series.

    Any chance of an England victory rests on dislodging this pair - and fast.
