Moeen Ali to S Smith, FOUR, There it is! Smith has done it. His maiden double hundred in Tests and what a moment that is. He emulates Jason Dizzy Gillespie who was the last Aussie to get a double hundred overseas. Gillespie did it in 2006 as a nightwatchman against Bangladesh. Would you believe that it was Gillespie who got a double hundred last for Australia overseas! Believe it now. Smith has corrected that stat today at the home of cricket - Lord's. What a place and what a ground to get your maiden double hundred. He will cherish this moment forever. He gets there with a whip off the pads, beating the dive of Stokes at mid-wicket. Timed too well for Stokes and the celebrations begin. Off comes the helmet and then he swings the bat wildly through the air. All the emotion coming out. Well appreciated by the crowd at Lord's. Another milestone ticked by the talented Smith
