| Cricket-Smith, Haddin haunt England with another rescue act Thursday, Jan 02, 2014 11:15 PM PST (Updates at close of play) By Nick Mulvenney SYDNEY, Jan 3 (Reuters) - Steve Smith scored a sparkling century and put on 128 for the sixth wicket with Brad Haddin to rescue Australia and push the hosts to 326 all out shortly before close of play on the first day of the fifth Ashes test against England on Friday. England, desperate to avoid a 5-0 series sweep, lost a wicket in the gloaming when Mitchell Johnson had Michael Carberry caught at leg slip for a duck, leaving captain Alastair Cook (seven) and nightwatchman James Anderson (1) at eight for one at stumps. Smith was the final Australian wicket to fall for 115 and while his second century of the series put a thick layer of gloss on the day for the hosts, there was no doubt the momentum shifted with wicketkeeper Haddin's 90-ball 75.
