In the third Ashes Test in Perth today, Australian captain Steve Smith again proved to be a major obstacle as England was not able to capitalise on their overnight momentum. A late order collapse by the visitors and the broad bat of Smith ensured the match was evenly poised at the end of the second day.At stumps, Australia were 203 for three, with Smith on 92 and Shaun Marsh on seven, a deficit of 200 runs with seven wickets in hand, after dismissing England for 403.England had looked set to post a massive score when they were 368 for four, but then lost six wickets for 35 runs in a stunning collapse before lunch.Smith paired with Usman Khawaja to add 124 for the third wicket, and is poised to score his 22nd Test century when play resumes on the third day.Australia lead the series 2-0 and can regain the Ashes with victory at the WACA Ground, although heavy rain is forecast for the final two days.
