Australia increased their advantage in the final Test match at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Travis Head scored his 12th Test century on day three, achieving his hundred off 105 balls, his third in this series. England's bowling struggled in the morning session. They used all three of their review chances, two unsuccessfully against nightwatchman Michael Neser. Steve Smith also approached a century as Australia built a substantial first innings lead.
