Smith pushes Tendulkar behind as he crosses another milestone

Steve Smith produced a batting masterclass to bring up his third double hundred as Australia posted a mammoth 497/8 to declare and take a huge step in retaining the Ashes, on Day 2 of the rain-affected fourth Ashes Test on Thursday.

Smith is the second Australian cricketer to score 500 runs in consecutive Ashes in England. Smith is also at the top of the pile with most Test runs in 2019.

The five-match series is currently tied at 1-1.
