Jack Leach got the ball to skid off the surface and stunned Steve Smith on the back foot. Smith looked at the pitch is disbelief after he went back to push through the off-side, only to be late on the shot and hear the death rattle. It is a timely wicket for England as Smith was looking to shift gears. Earlier, Marnus Labuschagne flashed at a wide delivery to offer a thin edge to substitute wicketkeeper Ollie Pope. England have reduced Australia to 92/4, with the lead at 214.
Bowled! England continue to fight.
