Perfect start to the day, Smith's 31st test match hundred.

And 150* to Trav

Someone tell me when Hayden is off commentary

Trav-ball firing up...

On a pitch that is offering a bit , India are bowling utter tripe

Dammit Trav out caught down the leg side

Well batted Trav

Hate it when players get caught down leg side

Tripe got the breakthrough

Smith is second quickest to 31 test match hundreds, it's taken him 170 innings to reach the milestone, Tendulkar took 165, than Ponting 174, Younis Khan 184 and Sunil Gavaskar 192.

Smith is now level with Steve Waugh having scored seven test hundreds in England, the second most of visiting players behind Bradman who made 11.

Maybe Smudge can pass Bradman this Ashes...

He also now has 9 hundreds against India, Tendulkar has the most in Aus v Ind test matches with 11.

Terrible shot by Green

Easy to say though. Sitting in the sheds for 10 hours with some sort of batting responsibility. Need to go on and score 500 here and send them in before dinner. This pitch is a beauty.

Carey's first boundary brings up Shami's ton.

Smith gone

Didn’t see that coming

That was unnecessary

That was pure clickbait by the media, that test match lefties outscored the right handers media said nothing once the match commenced

You can't tell a pitch till both teams have batted but it's got some demons in it.
Could be coming off ball dents from day one maybe?
Anyway, our bowlers would be licking their lips.
Can't wait to see us bowl.

Pitch looks to be quickening up. Reckon we will run through them

A ton for Suraj too!
