00:00Steve Smith has brought up a gutsy century to keep Australia on the front foot in the second test.

00:06It's his 14th Test 100, his second against New Zealand, and what a way to bring it up with a boundary.

00:13The skipper has been laid low by a blow to the helmet in the over before tee.

00:18He's down, hopefully alright. Didn't quite bounce.

00:22Smith was cleared to carry on, pulling his next ball away.

00:25That's a good shot from Steve Smith, straight into it, in line.

00:28In a watchful start, Smith capitalised on the loose balls.

00:31That's gone through mid-off as well, lovely piece of timing.

00:34And New Zealand switched the short ball tactic early.

00:37Smith continued to find runs on the drive after lunch.

00:42Beautiful shot.

00:43His 50 coming from 92 balls in a 100 run partnership with Burns.

00:48That'll bring the 50 up for the Australian skipper.

00:50The new ball helped Smith find the boundary in consecutive deliveries to race through the 80s.

00:55That's a lovely shot. Another boundary.

00:58A nervous moment in the 90s.

01:01That's a cracking delivery. I don't think he got bad on it.

01:04The next ball sent racing to the fence.

01:07A wide ball gift for the Aussie skipper to bring up this ton.

01:10That's a 100 for Stephen Smith. It's his 14th Test 100, his second against New Zealand,

01:15and what a way to bring it up with a boundary.
