Steve Smith’s prolific run-scoring form continues as he reached his double hundred quite comfortably, well supported by Mitchell Marsh, who was drafted in the first XI in place of Peter Handscomb. All-rounder Marsh grabbed the opportunity with full hands as registered his first triple-figure score in front of his home crowd as the host is on its way to posting a mammoth total in the scoreboard in reply to England’s 403.

Mitchell Marsh was included in the team amid many speculations; however, he justified his selection with a well made hundred. Marsh replaced out of form Handscomb and was quick to make a mark with the bat. The right-handed batsman was in sublime touch as he muscled the ball to the boundary at ease.

On the other hand, Smith was at his best as he registered 1000 Test runs in a calendar year for the fourth time in a row, only behind his countrymen Matthew Hayden, who holds the record of doing it for five consecutive years. Smith displayed some fabulous stroke making capability as he reached his double century. The England bowlers looked out of place as they couldn’t form any resistance in front of Smith and Marsh.

The host Australia is on their way to post a huge total pushing the visitors to a corner; however, the touring England side will need a courageous effort from their cricketers to get back to the game.
