Unbeaten on 113 after 282 balls at a packed Gabba, Smith's epic knock guided Australia to safety, with England's lead trimmed to 15 runs after their first innings total of 302. Josh Hazlewood survived with Smith for a nervous two overs to be on two at the break on a muggy afternoon. Australia resumed on 213 for seven after lunch, having lost three wickets and added only 48 runs in a tense morning session. Jonny Bairstow dived to his right to glove a sharp one-handed catch and remove his fellow keeper, leaving Australia wobbling at 202 for six. Broad turned the tables on his fellow quick two balls later, however, inducing a leading edge from the Australian and taking the catch himself.
