Australia posted 224 runs for the loss of three wickets at the end of the day’s play with Aussie skipper Steve Smith unbeaten on 65 runs.

Australian opener David Warner was in outstanding touch on the Boxing Day as he notched up 21st Test hundred with the help of 13 fours and a lone six. Warner dominated the English bowling right from the start; however was departed soon after reaching his hundred edging one to Jonny Bairstow off veteran James Anderson.

On the other hand, Smith continued his form from the last match as his never-ending urge to bat continues. Smith played a patient knock of unbeaten 65 runs with the help of 6 fours and was in good flow as he was timing the beautifully.
