Steve Smith is unstoppable.
In his first Test back from his ball tampering ban, the former Aussie skipper scored his second century of the match, driving Stuart Broad through cover for four to reach triple figures in the second innings at Edgbaston.
After single-handedly saving Australia's first dig with a
magnificent 144 on the opening day, Smith was doing it all himself again on day four, scoring 142 before he was finally out caught behind when he edged a Chris Woakes outswinger.
Nothing England tried worked. Whether it was packing the leg side or stacking the off side, bowling short and straight or full and wide, the 30-year-old had an answer for everything.
After somehow piercing a 7-2 field with a lovely drive, Smith took his helmet off, held his arms aloft and kissed the coat or arms as he saluted his teammates in the dressing room.
