Australia's Steve Smith acknowledges the crowd as he leaves the field after scoring 164 against New Zealand. The bowlers collectively got their lines and length all askew as Australian skipper Steve Smith led a charge with the highest ODI score on the SCG, 164 off 157 balls. Guptill's 11th ODI ton, and first against Australia, left him satisfied in personal terms. Only Grant Elliott, with 115 seven years ago, has previously scored an ODI hundred on the SCG. There were useful signs New Zealand will bat low in this series, with Colin Munro and Matt Henry late on chipping in.
