By Ian RansomMELBOURNE (Reuters) - Australia captain Steve Smith tormented England with another century as the fourth Ashes test ended in a frustrating draw for Joe Root's side on a lifeless Melbourne Cricket Ground pitch on Saturday. "I don't think it's good for anyone," Smith told reporters of the wicket after his third century of the series. But they will still head into the fifth and final test 3-0 down in the series and desperate for a face-saving win at the Sydney Cricket Ground. IRKSOME WARNERRain fell during lunch but cleared to give England ample time to find a breakthrough as Australia resumed on 178-4. The tourists laboured fruitlessly, however, as Smith and Marsh proceeded with discipline, content to bat time rather than set a fourth-innings chase.
