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.

00:42Beautiful shot.
00:43His 50 coming from 92 balls in a 100 run partnership with Burns.

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,
