00:00Sweet shot. That's how to do it. That's the safe way to do it.

00:06Good.

00:18There's another right-handed version this time from Anderson.

00:22Back of the length and...

00:23Shot.

00:30Four.

00:39Edged but just wide of second slip.

00:47Just a single, but a very important single for Steve Smith.

00:51Takes him on to 50.

01:00It's got a little bit wide there, Stuart Broad.

01:05Well timed off the back foot by Stephen Smith.

01:08Running down to the boundary and a good bit of fielding, I think, in the end from Ben Stokes.

01:13Drags it back.

01:15But it's going to be four-all run.

01:17Good running, Stephen Smith and Chris Rogers.

01:19Bang.

01:24Down the wicket he comes, Stephen Smith.

01:27Great.

01:27That's what happens, Stephen Smith, when he gets to go too straight.

01:35Because of the way he crosses over the stumps, sets him up for the onside.

01:39And he times it well.

01:41Yeah, beautifully timed.

01:43Down the ground.

01:45Not because it's hitting straight if it's not turning.

01:48Big six.

01:50No, but...

01:51Lots of room on the onside, so Smith walks across his wicket, punches it onto the onside.

02:00And I think that will bring up three figures.

02:03Gets to the boundary as well.

02:04So it's a four and a century for Stephen Smith.

02:08I think you can see what that means to him.

02:12Great moment for Stephen Smith.

02:14After a difficult first test match in Cardiff, for him and the team.

02:17He's taken full opportunity here of a good pitch.

02:27Well, we'll wait on the umpire to tell us exactly what happened there.

02:30It will go into the boundary.

02:32It will be four for Australia, but is it also four for the bats?

02:39That's the way.

02:40That's gone for four.

02:44Nothing.

02:47Powerfully struck.

02:49Beautifully struck by Steve Smith.

02:57Not a good delivery from James Anderson.

02:59He would be the first to know.

03:00I think almost as it came out of the hand, he'd have been groaning it himself.

03:07Beautiful shot.

03:08Lovely square drive.

03:10Not a bad delivery.

03:12Tempting the drive.

03:13Got the drive.

03:18Four.

03:18Punch down the ground.

03:22Right.

03:26Lots of fielders in the deep, but that has found a gap between the man just in front of square and...

03:31Solid punch down the ground.

03:42Smith marches on.

03:44A hundred and fifty-one.

03:45There'll be another four.

03:57We'll drag down.

03:58That'll go.

04:00Pulled.

04:01Wasn't right out of the middle of the bat for Smith.

04:04Nicely played, Stephen Smith.

04:10This used the width on offer from Mohen Ali.

04:13Played it late.

04:14Got into the gap.

04:17Oh, a slog sweep on this occasion from Smith.

04:20No one out there.

04:25Oh, there it is again.

04:26No third man.

04:27He's not catching this.

04:30One hundred and ninety-one at the first...

04:34This time it's past Stokes.

04:39It's on its way to the boundary.

04:41And as the ball makes contact with that boundary rope,

04:44Steve Smith celebrates a double hundred at the home of cricket.

04:48Applauded by his own colleagues in the dressing room.

04:51And by a few thousand Australian fanatics in the stands as well.

04:55What a wonderful effort that's been.

04:57Flicked away.

05:03And the man on the boundary can get nowhere near it.

05:08Oh, he's given it.

05:12Thought about it just long enough.

05:17Steve Smith is on 215.

05:20Here we go, Kumar.

05:23Impact's umpire's call.

05:25Wicket's hitting.

05:27Kumar, I'm going to recommend you start with your decision.

05:30Everyone at this famous ground

05:32standing to applaud Stephen Smith

05:34off the ground for 215.

05:35315.
