Marsh forcing his issue
Australia all-rounder Mitchell Marsh strengthened his bid for selection in the Ashes-holders' side to face England in next week's first Test by making his second successive hundred of the tour on Wednesday.
Marsh, competing with the more experienced Shane Watson for the role of seam-bowling all-rounder, struck an unbeaten 136 against Essex at Chelmsford on the first day of four following his 101 against Kent at Canterbury last week.
The 23-year-old played the last of his four Tests against India at Brisbane in 2014 and will hope to make it a family double next week, with older brother Shaun battling with Chris Rogers for the chance to open alongside David Warner at Cardiff's Sophia Gardens.
