Ashes 2013 Live Streaming: Watch Free Online Fifth Test Match, Day Three Between England and Australia From the Oval

Australia continued to dominate the fifth and final Test against Australia, with Steven Smith smashing a brilliant century for the visitors.

Rain delayed the start of play on the second day, but it did not seem to dampen the spirits of the Australians as the away side picked up from where they left off on the first day.

Smith smashed an unbeaten 138, his first century in Test cricket, as Australia declared their first innings on 492 for nine. England finished the day on 32 for no loss with openers Alastair Cook and Joe Root keeping their wickets intact.

"We still believe we can win the match from where we sit," England bowling coach David Saker said. "We're going to go out there and try to put on a big score.

"They (Australia) are obviously in a strong position having batted really well for two days. We know the Oval wicket can dry up and be something of a turner and that's why we picked two spinners.

"If we can bat well enough for long enough, the game is still on. They're desperate for a win and we're desperate to win 4-0 so there could easily be a result."

"We can hopefully have a really good day (tomorrow) with the bat and get somewhere near their score," he added.

"If we can get up near 400 to 450, we will put some pressure on them and the game will be on."

Smith, who reached his century with a six, was obviously thrilled with his batting performance. "It was an unbelievable feeling," he said. "Obviously I've played 12 Tests now and I probably would have hoped it would come a bit sooner.

"I feel like I am improving, my mindset is good and I am getting better mentally. It's just about trying to improve every day.

"I was probably under a little bit of pressure but I was trying to put it at the back of my mind," he said.

"I just tried to go out and play my game and I guess now that I've got one hundred under my belt it's going to be a little bit easier getting into the nineties."
