Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne steered a nervy Australia to 17-1 at lunch and a 102-run lead Friday after Ben Stokes's gritty 83 gave England a slither of hope on day three of the third Ashes Test.

Head was not out five and Labuschagne on four in Adelaide as the hosts aim to pile on a big total and put the five-match series out of England's reach.
