Ashes SCG 5th Test: Day 3 Wrap - Smith breaks records, again!

Australia took complete control of the Fifth Ashes Test on Day Three at the SCG, piling on runs through commanding centuries from Travis Head and Steve Smith. After starting the day two down, Australia powered to 7/518, exposing England’s ragged bowling, poor fielding, and mounting frustration. Steve Smith’s knock was historic, pushing him past multiple Ashes and SCG records, while England’s attack unravelled under pressure. With Beau Webster and Smith unbeaten, Australia look set for a decisive finish and a likely 4–1 series result.
