Only 5 wickets down and with a good opportunity to go and make a big first innings .
If we can somehow get Smith early this morning, we have to be hopeful we can dig them out for 400, and then post a proper score in reply. But if Smith hangs around enough to let Carey, Starc and Cummins swing the bat around him, we're looking at a monster total I fear.
