All three batsmen were caught behind by England substitute fielder Ollie Pope, who was keeping wickets in place of the injured Jos Buttler and Jonny Bairstow. Jack Leach, who had earlier deceived Harris with his spin, got his second wicket when a delivery skidded on to Smith's stumps when the former Australia captain was on 23. Boland finally ended Bairstow's innings on 113 and finished off the England batting by having Stuart Broad caught behind for 15. The 32-year-old quick took 6-7 on debut as England were skittled for 68 in their second innings in the third Test in Melbourne, giving Australia an innings and 14-run victory for an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series. Boland finished with figures of 4-36, giving him 11 wickets at an average of 8.27 after his first three innings of Test cricket.
