James Anderson ended the stay of Smith (16) at the crease. He ensured England fightback against Australia in the opening session of Day 2 in the Ashes Boxing Day Test at MCG, Melbourne. The veteran remains crucial for England’s chances with Ashes on the line. The visitors already trail 0-2 in the five-match series. Joe Root & Co need to wrap up Australia with a small lead if they want to fight back in the second innings. If Australia wins the Test match, they will retain Ashes.
