Langer also denied reports that Steve Smith, Australia's top run scorer and outstanding performer during the Ashes, mocked England spinner Jack Leach while celebrating at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Pictures from Manchester showed Smith wearing a pair of glasses in an apparent reference to Leach but Langer said this was related to former Australia opener Chris Rogers.
