England put up a strong total of 403 in their first innings, but the then-Australian skipper produced an absolute masterclass as his 239 put the hosts way ahead in the game.

Steve Smith`s twin-hundreds on his Test comeback is still talked about as two of the greatest knocks that he has played. Coming back to Test cricket after a gap of more than a year after he had served his ban due to the Sandpapergate scandal, he produced a hundred for the ages as his 144 in the first innings was full of counter-attack and gutsy shots. England took a lead of 90 runs after their first innings but Smith went on and scored another hundred to put Australia in the ascendancy.
