Only Don Bradman stands in front of Steve Smith in Ashes history after the Australian captain’s 37th Test hundred pushed England towards one final humiliation this summer.

Steve Smith was dismissed for 138 and Beau Webster remained unbeaten on 71 as Australia was bowled out for 567 on Wednesday, a 183-run first-innings lead on Day 4 of the fifth and final Ashes test. England picked up three wickets for 49 runs in the morning session after the Australians resumed at 518-7.

England captain Ben Stokes limped from the field with a groin injury as his side attempted to end a torturous series with one last fightback in the fifth Test at Sydney. Stokes opened the bowling on the fourth morning but bailed out after four balls of his second over, admitting defeat with a grimace after attempting to shake off the discomfort.

Australia's stand-in captain was untouchable on day three in Sydney, easing his way to a 13th Test century against England and 37th overall

"England struggled bowling out there consistently. "Steve Smith showed what he's capable of and we've seen it before. "If the Australians come out tomorrow and keep batting, keep piling on the runs, every run hurts for England."

It comes as England and Wales Cricket Board officials conduct a review into a failed Ashes series which saw Australia retain the urn in just 11 days. The Telegraph reported that it is understood the ECB does not want to make major leadership changes, which indicates McCullum, captain Ben Stokes and director of cricket Rob Key could all be safe.
