XtraTime Web Desk: Australian coach Justin Langer is quite confident on Steve Smith's progression after the concussion. Speaking to which Langer said that Steve will bat in the nets on Tuesday and Aussie run-machine is ‘definetly tracking in the right direction’. Australia will face England on Wednesday which will decide the fate of the series as currently the series is tied at 1-1.

“If he doesn't come up again, we will keep his _ like all of our players' _ health in mind.”

The series is tied at 1-1. It is Australia's last match on its limited-overs tour of England.
