Australia opener Usman Khawaja remains short of full match fitness with only three days left before the second Ashes Test, starting December 4 at the Gabba, though he is pushing hard to feature in what would bea home Ashes appearance.

Khawaja undertook his first proper test since injuring his back last week, with medical staff closely monitoring him during a fitness session on Monday afternoon, according to cricket.com.au.

The 37-year-old suffered back spasms during the Perth Test, forcing him off the field late in England's first innings and preventing him from batting in Australia’s second innings.
