Shaun Marsh, Mitchell Marsh and Usman Khawaja piled on the runs as Australia punished England on the third day of the fifth Ashes Test in Sydney and took a 133-run lead in the process.

Shaun and Mitchell Marsh ended the day on 98 and 63 respectively, while Khawaja went on to make a magnificent 171.

Starting off the day on 193/2, Khawaja and captain Steve Smith converted their 107-run partnership into a 188-run stand before Smith was caught and bowled by Moeen Ali for 83, which came off 158 balls and included five boundaries.

Khawaja and Shaun Marsh kept the runs flowing and put Australia in the lead with their 101-run partnership before Khawaja was stumped by Jonny Bairstow to give Mason Crane his first Test wicket.

Khawaja’s sparkling innings of 171 came off 381 balls and included 18 boundaries and a six.

Despite the dismissal of Khawaja, Australia continued to torment England as the Marsh brothers put together an unbeaten 104-run partnership before stumps was called.

Shaun Marsh finished on 98 off 207 balls, which included 10 boundaries, while Mitchell Marsh, who picked up the pace towards the end of the day, remained undefeated on 63 off 87 deliveries, which included nine boundaries and two sixes.

Crane, Moeen, Stuart Broad and James Anderson picked up one wicket apiece.

Australia ended day three on 479/4 and will continue batting on Sunday at 10:30 local time or 23:30 GMT (the day before).
