Smith added another 141 runs to his overall individual tally in the day, after remaining unbeaten at the score of 59* on the first day of the Test.
He stitched together a marathon of a partnership alongside fellow double centurion Marnus Labuschagne (204) worth 251 runs for the third wicket, and then followed it up with another 196-run stand for the fourth wicket with Travis Head (99), who missed out on a well deserved century.

In reply, the West Indies opening pair in debutant Tagenarine Chanderpaul (47*) and skipper Kraigg Brathwaite (18*) batted with the required discipline, to post 74/0 on the board at Stumps on ‘Day 2’.
