England's Joe Root makes a sublime 160 before Australia opener Travis Head replies with an unbeaten 91 on day two of the fifth Ashes Test in Sydney.

Why England's bowling performance on day two of the fifth Test is an alarming hint to the future.

Joe Root says he would "love" to be part of England's next Ashes tour in 2029-30, when he will turn 39 years old.

Joe Root hits 160 as England are bowled out for 384 in their first innings of the fifth Test with Australia closing day two 218 runs behind, as they finish on 166-2 at stumps, with Travis Head unbeaten on 91 in Sydney.

Jamie Smith gifts his wicket to Australia as he's caught for 46 off the bowling of part-time bowler Marnus Labuschagne, as England fall to 323-6 just before lunch on day two of the fifth Ashes Test in Sydney.

England wicketkeeper Jamie Smith's dismissal by Australia part-timer Marnus Labuschagne is called "one of the worst" ever in Tests and "completely brainless".
