    Australia have found a breakthrough as they look to seal the Ashes series in the third test against England in Adelaide

    Australia have found a breakthrough as they look to seal the Ashes series in the third test against England in Adelaide


    Jamie Smith heaped the pressure on the home side as he raced to 60, before a miscue saw him caught at mid-on.

    England are now 309 for 7 - needing 126 runs to win.

    The Australians are three wickets away from victory - however they've lost spinner Nathan Lyon due to a hamstring injury.
