England suddenly had to battle to stay in the match on Day Three of the Ashes after Steve Smith's outstanding hundred helped to pile the pressure back on them at the Gabba on Saturday. Joe Root's men did their utmost to frustrate Smith by drying up his run-scoring options, but he refused to be distracted for more than eight and a half hours in his unbeaten 141 as Australia scrambled to 328 all out and a lead of 26.
