#4 Steven Smith's biggie and the unused DRS
Steven Smith had talked about getting the big hundreds in the lead up to the series and decided to show the way for his team in a near flawless display of batting. He recorded the highest score in Sydney surpassing de Villiers' 162 against the Windies in 2015.
However, he was let off twice in one over when on 13. First was a drop by Watling off Boult and the second one was when an inswinger from him caught Smith's pad while he was on the back foot. New Zealand opted to not review only to see that the ball would have hit the stumps and Smith would have been gone had they reviewed.
Smith went on to make use of his reprieve and dug into the Kiwis attack, smashing them to all parts of the ground till he was dismissed in the 48th over.
