Ashes: Australia reach 326 on day 1
Sydney: Steve Smith's third test century and wicketkeeper Brad Haddin's half century sparked a strong comeback for Australia after a top order collapse on day one of the fifth Ashes test at the Sydney Cricket
The afternoon proved far less successful for England, however, with debutant spinner Borthwick (1-49) given a harsh introduction to test cricket, with his three overs going for 21 runs before he was taken out of the attack.
Borthwick -- the first England leg spinner to play in a test match since Ian Salisbury against Pakistan in 2000 -- returned late in the day and captured Mitchell Johnson caught by substitute fielder Joe Root on the boundary for 12 for his first test wicket.
