steve smith has now passed 6000 test i’u ns steve smith has now passed 6000 test runs “— steve smithtest runs —— after a quiet series. england had made early breakthroughs, getting rid of cameron bancroft, bowled by stuart broad, and david warner was dismissed byjimmy anderson with a good delivery, after he scored a half—century. smith and usman khawaja had to ride their luck but they looked more and more confident as they went on and were comfortable by the close. australia will try to get beyond the england total and ta ke total get beyond the england total and take total control of this final test match but up so patrick, what can england do on day 3 to try and turn this around? they will want to finish on a high note. they will, they have got to ta ke note. they will, they have got to take wickets, they will want to get rid of usman khawaja but desperate to get rid of steve smith and solve the rid of the ashes, how to get smith out. they tried mason crane, the young leg—spinner, and he bowled pretty well, it was a bit unlucky, so we pretty well, it was a bit unlucky, so we will s

take dawid malan's wicket, as steve smith did, somehow.ringe—making. josh hazlewood's reprieve of moeen ali would even have looked bad on the beach. england's tail—end responded with spirit and even a few sixes before finally running out of steam and wickets on 346. so not the score england wanted but not the one they will have dreaded either. they are just about still in this test match. now they must stop australia batting them out of it. how's this for a start? cameron bancroft bowled by stuart broad for a duck. but david warner was born so close to this ground, he seems to still treat it as an extension of his back garden. he passed 50 when out of nowhere, james anderson sent him indoors. england continued to bowl with some skill but no luck and usman khawaja had found his touch. he got his half century and ended up just short of a full one. plus, smith was there. of course he was. now beyond 6000 test runs and counting. england bowlers old and new must believe he's stoppable. he's playing very well, he's obviously seeing it well. but

we heard from their captain, steve smith, and also from jimmy anderson, who stood in for the recuperatingroot. i do think it has been closer than 4—0. we've been on top in some games if not all the games at some stage. we've just not capitalised on key moment. all the guys are hurting, as much as i am. that feeling you get should make you determined to try and win the ashes back in 2019. it has been outstanding. everybody has had a role to play and had some impact on the series. you know, you see the two marsh boys, sean throughout the whole series, and mitch in the last one has been magnificent. all of the bowlers have been great. tim payne has been exceptional behind the stumps and scoring valuable runs at times. who ami scoring valuable runs at times. who am i missing? all of the guys have had an impact in the series. that is what has been so special about it. it hasn'tjust what has been so special about it. it hasn't just been what has been so special about it. it hasn'tjust been one or two guys stepping up and doing the job. you can't really win an ashes series when that is the case.

expected to be back on the normal motorfor steve smith's hundred. but he was out. thought they had another one when mason crane appealed for an lbw. the reviews showed it would have hit the stumps but was given as a snowball. he went on to make 150 and looked great before crane eventually got that first test wicket when he had him stumped for 171. the marsh brothers then started to take the game away from england, as they increasingly attacked towards the end of the day. england must go back into the field on day for river temperatures will be even hotter. australia very much have the advantage. it was a pretty tough day, yeah. we are 150 overs into the innings, there will be a few tired bodies out there, that is part and parcel of test cricket. it is not the first time we will have fielded 150 overs, and it won't be the last time, i'm sure. i saw the way the guys toiled out the, and really worked hard, it was really impressive and that was really good for us to see as a side going forward. liverpool say they will co—operate if the fa decides to investigate roberto

it is the most often repeated sentence of the ashes, steve smith is still there, and he is alongsideition in this match. earlier, england had shown some fight, they lost dawid malan thanks to a spectacular catch by smith, who you seemingly cannot keep out of the game, but the rest of australia‘s catching is not in the same class. pat cummins and josh hazlewood made terrible mistakes, clangers in the field, and the rest of the low order of england added useful contributions, moeen ali, tom curran and stuart broad. they made the perfect start in the field, stuart broad perfect start in the field, stuart b roa d clea n perfect start in the field, stuart broad clean bowling the out of sorts cameron bancroft. david warner, the local boy, made his now customary 50 at the scg butjimmy anderson boulder pirlo to get him and england we re boulder pirlo to get him and england were on a bit of a role, but all that did was bring in steve smith. although he and khawaja had to ride their luck at times, mason crane, debut leg—spinner, bowled well, they we re debut leg—spinner, bowled well, they were

australia's captain steve smith was named the test cricketer of the year.becoming the icc cricketer of the year, 2017. and the odi player of the year. i wonder back in 2012 also, but it is the first time that i have won the sir garfield sobers trophy. it is a huge honour for me. probably the biggest award we have in world cricket. two indians getting it back to back mixing more special. it isa it is a great honour to win the test player of the year award. it is called test cricket for a reason. i am very humbled to win the award. i have had a really good year. i think they scored six 100 in the air. and i led the team to an ashes victory. it was important to me. incredibly humbled. i love playing test cricket. it is the game that challenges your skills and your mind the most. as i said, i challenges your skills and your mind the most. as i said, lam really humbled. thank you very much the award. and finally, it wasn'tjust the pros in action on the first day of the golf in abu dhabi. schoolboy oscar murphy showed that he was one to watch for the future, by u

the umpires wanted to check their decision to give steve smith out.at inconclusive, but their opinion was the one that mattered, not smith's. his team still kept up the attack, marcus stoinis setting up a nervy end, but when he departed, england made sure their winning run would continue. at the australian open, more good news for the british no 2 kyle edmund who booked his place in the quarterfinals after beating andreas seppi overfour sets. in the absence of andy murray and johanna konta's early exit, hopes rest with edmund in melbourne. carrying the hopes of a nation is no easy task but in the absence of andy murray britain has a new flag bearer. the rise of kyle edmund has been steady, his form here spectacular. it seemed that was about to change against andreas seppi. he lost the opening set and went down a break of serve in the second. he was however quick to respond, a change of shoes coinciding with a change in fortunes and there was no looking back. a decade seppi's junior, edmund is the higher ranked and soon the gulf in age and quality beca

malan was dropped by steve smith.forta ble went to 50 and both look pretty comfortable as england got to 220—3. with the third ball of the new ball joe root hit it's straight to mitchell marsh. you could see how disappointed he was. it was such a big wicket. instead of sending a night watchman in to see at the end of the innings, they sent injonny ba i rstow. of the innings, they sent injonny bairstow. that was a tactical error, many have said, and it has cost england. they have lost another talented batsman. they know how their last two established batsman at the crease and plenty of runs yet to get. it all gets underway in the next hour. what sort of total do they need to stay competitive in this match? there would have hoped for more than 450 when they decided to bat. they downgraded that. dawid malan, after yesterday, said another 150 would take them to 380, that probably isn't enough. australia will fancy getting them out for a less. england have a long tail. australia could put together a big first—innings score

somewhat ominously this is the australian captain steve smith's home ground and he is desperate to getne too. a couple of changes, interesting ones. mitchell starc makes his return for australia, which won't please england and we'll get to what mason crane is made of in an england shirt. we will, mitchell starc is the leading wicket taker in this ashes series, he missed the last test with a bruised heel. there was some talk australia might not risk him, given there is a one—day series against england coming up and a south africa test series, but starc himself said he felt fit and england might fancy facing him, his pace and bounce has caused and also the trouble in the series so far and he will be a threat on a pitch that has a fair bit of grass on it. he is the known quantity. crane, his middle name is syd ney quantity. crane, his middle name is sydney so it is appropriate he plays here, he does know a little bit about this place. in county cricket he has sort of been inconsistent. the australian batsman might get after him and score runs but he has held up against that well when i ha

at the other end, nearing his hundred, steve smith, the uncrackable code. check the no ball and there the case closed. had the umpire felt the boot was behind the line, mason crane would've had his first test wicket. fine margins. and fine shots from the reprieved usman khawaja, which helped him to 150 and helped australia into a lead only three wickets down. england needed energy, badly. it came from mason crane. this time he had usman khawaja for real. and for 171. but in now baking temperatures the marsh brothers turned england into their stooges, with every run scored by australia's batsmen only adding to the regrets felt by england. a draining day in every sense. so england 133 runs behind, they will have to go back into the field on day four when it will be even hotter. what is more they know this pitch is now spinning more, just in time for their last innings of this ashes series. patrick geary, bbc news in sydney. there's more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel, we are back with the late news at 20 past 9 — now on bbc1 it's time for the

the umpires wanted to check their decision to give steve smith out. but their opinion was the one that mattered, not smith's. his team still kept up the attack, marcus stoinis setting up a nervy end, but when he departed, england made sure their winning run would continue. at the australian open, more good news for the british number two kyle edmund who booked his place in the quarterfinals after beating andreas seppi overfour sets. in the quarterfinals after beating andreas seppi over four sets. in the absence of andy murray and johanna konta's early exit, hopes rest with edmund in melbourne. kyle edmund could barely stand after his last match in melbourne. now he has reached greater heights than ever before. the mercury was at a merciful 26 degrees but early on it looked like andreas seppi could prove too hot to handle. 27 places separate them in the world rankings. on court, it was much closer, with the italian taking the first set on a tie—break. at 33, seppi has a decade's experience on edmund and at times, it showed. the briton was broken first

steve smith, the uncrackable coal. but moeen ali's eureka moment. smith left a void in. reprieve that allowed australia into a lead only three wickets down. england needed energy badly. it came from crane. they had him for 171. in baking temperatures, the marsh brothers turned the england team into their stooges. a training day in every sense. australia well in charge, england feeling tired. let's hear from both camps. a pretty tough day. we are 150 overs into the innings, there will be a futile bodies out there. that is part and parcel of test cricket. not the first time we will have fielded 150 overs and not the last, i'm sure. the way they toiled out there and work hard was impressive to stop thatis work hard was impressive to stop that is good to see for us as a side going forward. both of the marsh brothers have copped a lot of slack in the last couple of years. to see them go out there and play well, the play the way that we know they could both play, they are great bikes, the whole family is so nice, it is really nice to see. england 133 runs behind and they will

captain steve smith insists his back is fine after missing training yesterday.ding wicket taker in the series mitchell starc is fit again. smith has already amassed more than 600 runs so far... and if he hits a fourth century of the series, at his home ground, he'll become only the fourth batsman to do so. that would be nice. it has been good for me, but also good for the team. we have still got some heart is in front of us. he has probably been the difference between the two teams. especially the last games, perth, and games, perth, and president. probably been the difference in the results. those fantastic 100s. and the partnership with marsh. it is frustrating as an opposition captain he has been in that form. credit to him. colin munro created a bit of history as new zealand beat west indies by 119 runs in the third and final t20 international. munro scored 104 to become the first batsman to make three centuries in t20 internationals — as new zealand hit a mammoth total of 2113 for 5. west indies were bowled out with three overs remaining. new zealand take t

ominously, steve smith is still at the crease and looking good. obiang put west ham ahead, and seven minutes from time, son heung—min put away an equally impressive long—range effort, although son said he thought obiang's goal was better. spurs are fifth in the premier league table. the premier league teams enter the fa cup third round this weekend and the merseyside derby between liverpool and everton kick's off the bbc‘s coverage. it's live on bbc one tonight. it's been suggested that liverpool managerjurgen klopp doesn't take the fa cup seriously, something he's keen to disprove. the lineup will be a lineup which shows all the respect we have for the fa cup. umm... i knowa few people have said that i don't respect the competition, stuff like that, enough. but that is obviously not the truth. so, maybe we have to make it a little bit more obvious. it is not a league game. there are no points available. it is win or bust. as simple as that. the premier league, less pressure. it is a glory game. you go out and seek the glory and try and win it. if

steve smith was the uncrackable code. but moeen ali's eureka moment came.closely top—heavy umpire felt the boot was behind the line, he would have had his first test wicket. england needed energy. it came from crane. he had in for 171. in the baking temperatures, the marsh brothers turned england into their stooges. a draining day in every sense. australia well in charge, england feeling tired. let's hear from both charge, england feeling tired. let's hearfrom both sides charge, england feeling tired. let's hear from both sides was up it was pretty tiring. we are 150 overs into the innings. they will be some tired bodies out there, that is part and parcel of test cricket. not the first time we have fielded 150 overs, and not the last i am sure. the way they work that they was really impressive which is good to see for us as a side going forward. the marsh brothers have coughed a lot of slack in the last couple of yea rs. to lot of slack in the last couple of years. to see them go out and play well and play the way we know of them can play is really warding.

the umpires wanted to check their decision to give steve smith out. one that mattered, not smith's. his team still kept up the attack, marcus stoinis setting up a nervy end, but when he departed, england made sure their winning run would continue. kyle edmund says you have to believe after reaching his first grand slam quarterfinal. the british and the two came from one set down to make the last eight of the australian open tennis. our correspondence david ornstein reports. carrying the hopes of a nation is no easy task but in the absence of andy murray britain has a new flag bearer. the rise of kyle edmund has been steady, his form here spectacular. it seemed that was about to change one against andreas seppi he lost the opening set and went down a break of serve in the second. he was however quick to respond, a change of shoes coinciding with the change in fortu nes coinciding with the change in fortunes and there was no looking back. one decade andreas seppi's junior, kyle edmund is the higher ranked and is in the gulf in age and quality became app

their first innings and took two early wickets but australia then seized control, with captain steve smithsman khawaja scoring freely. they closed on 193—2, so they're 153 runs behind england but with eight wickets in hand. although it wasn't a great day for england, it was a momentous one for 20—year—old mason crane, who enjoyed his first bowling stint in test cricket. naturally, a little bit nervous but i was also really excited and i had great fun out there. i can't wait for tomorrow. there were a period where we couldn't get edges, or a couple of legs that didn't get to slip. but that's the way of the game. keep plugging away for tomorrow. chelsea look set to sign everton midfielder ross barkley. he's expected to have a medical today, ahead of a £15 million move. he's yet to play this season after having hamstring surgery but he's now approaching match fitness and everton manager sam allardyce said yesterday he was resigned to losing him when his contract expires in the summer. hejoined everton as an 11—year—old in 2005. the fa cup continues this weekend. it's at the third round stage,

the question has been, how do you solve a problem like steve smith?ecap the second day. they trail england by 153 runs in sydney. after losing dawid malan early, england‘s tail wagged to reach 3113 all out at the scg. pat cummins picked up four wickets for australia. stuart broad bowled cameron bancroft for nought but usman khawaja made 91 not out. a fast 56 from david warner and another solid stand from captain steve smith who is 44 not out make the aussies look ominous again. england are well aware smith‘s wicket won‘t be easily taken. he has got out four times this series. he is playing well, seeing it well. he is only human. we will keep plugging away tomorrow and hope we win. egos at there and looks for the ball. —— he goes out there. he knows his game so well and he is so confident. it has been great for us. it's great, you lose a couple of wickets but he... chelsea look set to sign everton midfielder ross barkley. he‘s expected to have a medical today, ahead of a £15 million move. he‘s yet to play this season after having hamstring surgery but

it's the most often—repeated sentence of the ashes, steve smith is there. england showed fight, losing mallan, ending bya england showed fight, losing mallan, ending by a spectacular catch but the rest of australia's catching was not in the same class. there were terrible mistakes in the field. the england lower order added useful contributions, england put on 130 before being bowled out. and made a perfect start in the field. stuart broad cleaning out ban croft and david ward making a customary 50, and england are on a roll. but it brought in steve smith, although he had to ride his luck, well, england we re had to ride his luck, well, england were comfortable as the day wore on. hoping to bat australia up to and beyond england's total, england must somehow work out how to get smith out. well it may not have been england's day but it was a momentus one for 20—year—old mason crane, who enjoyed his first bowling stint in test cricket. he's the youngest specialist spinner to play for england in 90 years. naturally, a little nervous but excited and you know, i

captain steve smith scored his 6000th test run as the hosts finished the day on 193 for two to closet in merseyside as liverpool and everton face each other in the 230th merseyside derby. they'll be competing in the third round of the fa cup at anfield. 0ur sports correspondent andy swiss is there... yes, fiona, when they made the fa cup draw last month, organisers would have hoped to get a few intriguing ties, but to get one of the biggest rivalries in football so early in the competition is something very special. liverpool against everton, and it is the latest chapter in one of football's most enthralling sagas... it is a city and a rivalry that once ruled the fa cup. everton brought the cup back to merseyside, where it had been in liverpool's keeping for a year. and now the men at goodison park have won it. this fa cup must like it up here! 0n the far side, is this three? it is! but since the glory days of the 19805 when liverpool and everton contested two finals, that famous trophy has proved rather harder to lift. not since liverpool 12 years ago has either side won it... gerra

australia seemed to be on track with captain steve smith at the crease but he was out in controversialemed inconclusive but the decision stood. australia were behind the required run rate and despite having wickets in hand, they fell short of their target. kyle edmond has powered into his first grand slam quarterfinal, beating andreas seppi of italy in the australian open. the british number two recovered from a slow start to win in four sets in melbourne. edmond trailed by one set and a break at one stage but cut down his errors to secure his place in the last eight. he will face australia's nick kyrgios or grigor dimitrov of bulgaria on tuesday. their match is ongoing. number one seed rafael nadal is also through to the quarterfinals after beating argentina's diego schwartzman in four sets. the 24th seed proved nadal‘s trickiest opponent so far, taking a first set of the tournament off the 16—time grand slam champion. nadal will play croatia's marin cilic in the last eight. world number two caroline wozniacki is through to the last eight of the women's draw after a comfortable straig

at the apparent nearing his hundred steve smith, the uncrackable cold, but wait, moeen ali's eureka moment and crane filled it with an appeal, reviews, first they checked the no ball, and they're the case closed. the umpire felt the boot was behind the line soap —— have the umpire felt he would have had his first hundred. khawaja was helped to 150 and australia into a lead only three wickets down. england needed energy badly. it came from crane, this time with khawaja for a real, and for 171, but in baking temperatures the marsh brothers turned inward into their stooges with every run scored by australian batsman only adding to regret felt by england. a draining day in every sense. it was a tough day, we are 150 overs into the innings, there will be tired bodies out there, that is part and parcel of test cricket, it is not the first time we will have fielded 150 and won't be the last. i thought the way the guys worked doubt there was impressive. that is good to see for us asa impressive. that is good to see for us as a side going forward. england 133 runs behind, they will have to go back

it's the most often repeated sentence of the ashes, steve smith is still there, alongside usman khawajaalia into a strong position. earlier, england showed some fight. they lost dawid malan early on thanks to a spectacular catch by smith, but the rest of australia's catching not in the same class. pat cummins madea catching not in the same class. pat cummins made a terrible clanger in the field and the rest of the england lower order added useful contributions, moeen ali, tom curran and stuart broad all making 30, and england put on 113 before being bowled out. a good start in the field, stuart broad clean bowling camra. david morley made his customary 50. —— stuart broad clean bowling bancroft. mason crane, that they couldn't leg—spinner, bowled well, but australia were increasingly uncomfortable —— co mforta ble increasingly uncomfortable —— comfortable as the day wore on. england must somehow now work out how to get sniff out. we managed to get smith tourniquet few today but none of them carried. do you think he is immune to getting out? he has got out four times this series. he is p

and was steve smith uncrackable? moeen ali's eureka moment.ith an appeal. had the umpire felt the brute force behind the line, crane would have had his first test wicket, fine margin. and khawaja reached 150. mason crane then took khawaja for real, but it now baking temperatures, the marsh brothers turning lead into their stooges, with every run scored only adding to the regrets felt by england's batsmen. a draining day in every sense. it was a pretty tough day, we are 150 overs into the innings, there are tired bodies out there, that is part and parcel of te st there, that is part and parcel of test cricket. it's not the first time we will have fielded 150 overs, and it would be the last. i thought that the way that the guys toiled out there and worked hard was really impressive, and that is good to see for us as a side going forward. england 133 runs behind, they will have to go back into the field when it will be even hotter, and they know this pitch is now spinning more just in time for their last innings of this ashes series. great britai
