Australia train ahead of the third Ashes Test of 2019 at Headingley. Includes shots of; Mitchell Marsh, Cameron Bancroft, Marnus Labuschagne, Tim Paine, Steve Smith, Dr Richard Saw, Josh Hazelwood. Australia captain Tim Paine insists it is not solely the responsibility of Marnus Labuschagne to fill the void left by Steve Smith in the third Ashes Test. Smith, whose Test average of 63.24 is bettered only by the great Sir Don Bradman in the all-time list, was ruled out at Headingley because of concussion after taking a blow to the neck from a Jofra Archer bumper at Lord’s. Labuschagne stepped in as international cricket’s first concussion substitute and performed commendably in Smith’s absence, registering a 100-ball 59 as the tourists secured a nail-biting draw to preserve their 1-0 series lead.
