After all but 13.2 overs of the first day were washed out on Saturday, India started strongly Sunday with three wickets in the first hour. The visitors bowled a lot straighter to Head than they did in Adelaide -- where he hit a sparkling 140 in a big Australia win -- but he was watchful early and punished any loose deliveries.Smith's innings was in stark contrast to Head's.
He brought up his 33rd Test century and his first in 18 months to a rapturous reception from the big Gabba crowd.Australia had resumed the day at 28-0 and lost the wickets of Usman Khawaja , Nathan McSweeney and Marnus Labuschagne in the extended first session.
