00:00So the ideal start for the West Indies, Stephen Smith coming in at number three for Australia.

00:07Average of 51. He's in scintillating form in England and County Cricket. It's an easy one,

00:15it's ease through the leg side and Stephen Smith is on his on his way to the boundary.

00:21Well we talked about that, that's a really bad place to bowl to Steve Smith.

00:25Boundary starting to flow now for Australia.

00:33And outside, it's well controlled though. Soft hands, he didn't go hard at it.

00:38And he's found a small gap there. The West Indies slipscored and do

00:42stand very narrow. I'd love to see them to spread out a bit more.

00:46He uses his feet so well. Scoring next to me, Craig Cozier called it two balls ago.

01:02That's hit nicely.

01:06And will find the boundary. Nice use of the feet again from Steve Smith. Didn't try to keep it down.

01:14Now that's a good shot. You've got to say to the batsman, okay you're too good there.

01:22Well this one you'll have no chance against.

01:28Hit on. That's just kicked away again. Easy as you please.

01:35There he goes, that's a big one. Never afraid to use the feet.

01:47Such a difficult customer to bowl to. He will use his feet and then the bowler,

01:51as we saw this morning as well, when they used

01:54their feet to him, drag the next delivery down and trying to make the adjustment.

02:01He's gone after him again. Six more.

02:0950 up for Stephen Smith.

02:14Missed out in Dominica. Well set here.

02:24Superb shot. Excellent timing, good use of the feet. That's how you play the spinners.

02:31That's a good shot. Short back of the link. Stephen Smith just punches it away.

02:43Leg side again and that'll be four. Don't worry about running for that Stephen Smith.

02:48Beautifully timed. Racing long after lunch.

02:56Upper sleeve at a thick outside edge and that'll be a boundary.

03:00Releasing the pressure.

03:05Wonderful shot. Not such a good line there. A bit wide and short.

03:10Pounced on it. Four to finish the over. Three for 186.

03:17Short and punched through the offside. That will be his hundred.

03:20Steve Smith gets his ninth hundred. His first against the West Indies

03:24and that is a very very good innings. Came in at 2 for 16

03:29and a well-deserved hundred. Outstanding innings from Steve Smith.

03:36And the end of the over. Three for 201.

03:43And he's dropped him.

03:45Through the slips. That'll be annoying for Jason Holder. He's bowled well today.

03:57Enjoying himself.

04:00It might be a bit tight and disciplined but it's still friendly stuff from Craig Braffett.

04:07Pretty well bowled. And 150 up now for Steve Smith.

04:15Third time he's bopped him.

04:19To such a significant score in his test career.

04:51Fooling around. Steve Smith.

05:00Clear signal of intent from the senior batsman.

05:10Superbly played.

05:15Frustration for Roach and the West Indies but more runs for the Aussies.

05:21They're thinking too and they're going for it.

05:30And more. That'll be six. All along the ground. Highest test score for Stephen Smith.

05:43It's a shot for Obiw. It's full. He's given him. Can you believe it? Stephen Smith. He's rebuted.

05:52Surely he couldn't be the third Australian batsman to get out for 199.

05:59Well it was a brilliant delivery from Jerome Taylor. There's two noises.

06:06Let's just have a look. Swung late. I think the line's pretty good. It's just whether he's got a

06:11feather on it. He's laid on it. So very hard to tell from that. You've got to overturn the decision.

06:17Don't forget it was given out. There's no hot spot available. Can't really tell there.

06:25There's no real evidence.

06:28It's going to hit leg stump. Gone. It's going to be out. So it's going to be terrible luck for Steve Smith.

06:37Superb bowling from Taylor. Highest test score for Stephen Smith.

06:42What a disappointing way to keep giving out.

06:47Third Australian batsman to be out for 199. He looks up at the sky.

06:52But don't be despondent Stephen Smith. Wonderful innings.

07:00He's shattered. He really is. Tremendous bowling from Taylor. He thinks he's got an edge on it.

07:06But unfortunately very hard to tell on the slow-mo whether that's happened. It was straight.

07:10Brilliant delivery. But a brilliant innings by Steve Smith comes to an end on 199. It's 9 for 393.
