AUS vs IND: Australias premier batter Steve Smith on Thursday equalled former England captain Joe Root's tally of scoring most centuries in Test cricket against India after he scored 121 on day two of World Test Championship final at The Oval, here on Thursday.

Smith needed just two balls on day two's morning session to go from his overnight score of 95 not out to breaching triple figures via successive flicks on half-volleys from Mohammed Siraj to reach his 31st Test century.
