SYDNEY, Jan 6 (Reuters) - Travis Head ‌said he was loving life as a test opener after recording his third century of the ‌Ashes series to help put Australia in a strong position after day three of the fifth ‌test on Tuesday.

The 32-year-old has been a revelation at the top of the order since taking up the role when a back injury prevented Usman Khawaja from batting in the second innings in the series opener in Perth.
