Smith and Will Jacks (47) had safely negotiated much of the morning session on day five and there were hopes of an unlikely English victory looming when Australia spinner Nathan Lyon hurt his hamstring and was ruled out for the remainder of the Test.
But Marnus Labuschagne held on to a brilliant chance at slip to help dismiss Jacks and Boland finished the job to have Josh Tongue caught in the same spot as the Aussies clinched the victory in style.
The next Test begins on Boxing Day in Melbourne, with Lyon’s fitness to be closely monitored prior to the match. Should the veteran be ruled out then Australia may turn to fellow off-spinner Todd Murphy, left-armer Matthew Kuhnemann or uncapped tweaker Corey Rocchiccioli.
