Smith slammed 105 off 93 balls for his first World Cup century and fourth ton in ODIs to continue his prolific batting form since his switch to No.3 in Australia’s one-day team. Smith didn’t hang about in the ‘nervous’ nineties and tore to three figures with a six and four off successive balls from Mohammed Shami. His ton was the second fastest against defending champions India at a World Cup after an 84-ball 100 by Sri Lanka’s Mahela Jayawardene at the 2011 final in Mumbai.

But India fought back, with paceman Umesh Yadav taking four for 72 before Mitchell Johnson smashed an unbeaten 27 off nine balls.  Live Updates: India vs Australia ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 semi-final
