Sep 5 (CRICKETNMORE) Australia's Steve Smith is back to doing what he does best at Old Trafford after he had to sit out the third Ashes Test due to injury. Smith scored his 26th Test ton and his third in four innings as the crowd at Old Trafford witnessed some top quality batting.

Smith shared a partnership of 116 with Marnus Labuschagne accross the first two days of the Test. In the middle of that on Day 1, a beachball rolled onto the pitch just as Smith was getting ready to face a delivery from Jofra Archer. The ball rolled towards where the 30-year-old was standing and he swept it away to the square leg boundary.
