4/159. The partnership is now 143*.

Once again, it's amazing to see how flat the wicket gets the moment BradSmith comes to the crease. It's an extraordinary coincidence that Test wickets all over the World suddenly get flat when BradSmith takes strike - and then get immediately difficult again, the moment he leaves the crease.

And all out for 237. Cummins with 5/49 (and 10/97 for the match). Starc took 4/55, Hazlewood 1/34 and Lyon 0/84.

Just as well SPD BradSmiuth and Marsh put on that 153 or the opposition would have walked in to victory. Fittingly, they took the final two catches, in successive balls from Starc to snare then victory. SPD BradSmith's, of course, rightly described by CricInfo as "an absolute stunner".
