REUTERS: England are relieved that Australia batsman Steve Smith is not seriously injured after being struck by a bouncer but will aim to exploit his absence in the third Ashes test, skipper Joe Root said on Wednesday.
"We had the challenge of Jimmy going down four overs into a test and had to manage without a replacement, so you get these swings within a big series... when you get your opportunity you've got to jump on it," Root told reporters. "But you never want to see someone go off injured. There was a lot of concern in our dressing room for his health and it's great to see that he's up and about."England added Ollie Pope to their squad as a standby after fellow batsman Jason Roy was struck on the neck during training on Tuesday.
