Ashes 2019 | Steve Smith With Only Don Bradman To Beat To Become Australia's Most Prolific ever Versus England

Hack:

• Steve Smith went on to score his 25th Test hundred after playing a mere total of 65 games in the longer format of the game
• Australia had a miserable start yet again as openers David Warner and Cameron Bancroft were dismissed for cheaply at the beginning of the innings
• England are chasing a total of 398 runs on the last day of the contest at Edgbaston, Birmingham

Steve Smith is marching towards becoming the greatest Test cricketer for Australia after scoring a second century in the opening match of the Ashes, a blistering 142-run knock that once again saw the visitors race ahead, extending their lead over the hosts to a whooping 397 runs before they declared. Smith's spectacular knock came in 207 balls, featuring 14 boundaries. 

Steve Smith only second to Don Bradman
