Smith century

-

Cricket: Centurion Steve Smith has pushed Australia closer to their first test win in India since 2004, setting India an imposing target of 441 on day three of the clash in Pune. Lunch was called yesterday when Australia were bowled out for 285, a total built by a captain’s knock of 109 from Smith and the hosts’ horrible fielding. The topranked test side, who were rolled for 105 in their first innings when Steve O’Keefe snared six wickets in the space of 24 balls, will need to complete a record run-chase on the cracking dust bowl.
