Australia v England - Fifth Test: Day 3
Usman Khawaja and Shaun Marsh helped Australia to a huge lead on day 3

#1 England beaten into a corner

England v Australia: 2nd Investec Ashes Test - Day Four
Marsh further compounded England's woes late in the day

The Marsh brothers batted together a fourth time in Test cricket and it turned out to be a treat for the Sydney Cricket Ground. Shaun Marsh had taken his time to get settled at the crease and his brother followed suit taking 18 balls to get off the mark and then was on 5 off 33 balls at one point of time.

Once set, he latched onto some ordinary bowling by the English and furthered Australia's lead in another day of dominance for the hosts. His half-century came in 64 balls, hoisting Moeen Ali twice over the ropes in the process. Nicknamed the Bison for the sheer power in his shots, Mitchell Marsh had England at his mercy late in the day.
