Ashes 2017/18, 5th Test: Hits and misses

<p>

Hit: Shaun Marsh

<p>

Shaun Marsh continued his blistering form as he scored his second ton of the series to lead Australia to a massive first innings total of 649/7 at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Marsh, who scored a fifty at the Gabba and proved to be the differentiator between the two teams as he remained unbeaten on 126 in Adelaide, scored 156 at the SCG as Australia surged into a comfortable position.

Interestingly, Shaun and Mitchell Marsh followed in the footsteps of the legendary Waugh brothers as they became the latest pair of brothers to score a century in the same innings of a Test match.

The Marsh duo combined forces to put up a 169-run stand in just their fourth innings together and ensured that the hosts won the high-profile Test series 4-0.
