AUS vs ENG Ashes Live: Travis Head bamboozled the England bowling lineup after his breathtaking 163 to take Australia near England’s first innings score of 384. He has basically nullified Joe Root’s 160 and the Australian fans are buzzing. Ben Stokes-led side has bowled quite poorly as well. Steve Smith has completed his fifty as well after he stitched fifty-run stands with Head and Usman Khawaja. He then converted it to his maiden Test century in the ongoing Ashes 2025/26 series, taking his tally to 37 in Test cricket. Only Joe Root (41) has more Test centuries than Smith among current players.
