Smith sidelined


Smith led Australia to eight-wicket wins in Perth and Brisbane in the absence of Cummins. He hit the winning runs in Brisbane as Australia took a 2-0 lead in the five-match series, leaving England needing a victory in Adelaide to have any chance of reclaiming the Ashes.


But Smith didn't recover in time from dizziness and nausea to start the third test, allowing Khawaja to return to the lineup on the eve of his 39th birthday.

Brief Scores: Australia: 326/8 in 83 overs (Alex Carey 106, Usman Khawaja 82, Jofra Archer 3/29) vs England
