    What's the story

    England wicketkeeper batter Jamie Smith hit a superb ton in the first Test against Sri Lanka in Manchester.

    England resumed Day 3 on 259/6 with Smith unbeaten on 72. The hosts did a sound job after having dismissed Sri Lanka for 236 in their first innings.

    Smith converted his 72* into a century before perishing for 111. England scored 358 in their first innings.

    Knock

    A fine effort from Smith

    Smith came to the crease when England were 125/4. He shared a valuable half-century-plus stand alongside Harry Brook, who was dismissed for 56.

    Two more fifty-plus stands followed alongside Chris Woakes and Gus Atkinson.

    Smith, who had a memorable debut series against West Indies recently, was in his element.

    He played his shots and looked solid in the middle. Prabath Jayasuriya dismissed Smith.

    Information

    Jayasuriya gets Smith

    Smith's dismissal saw England get reduced to 315/8. Spinner Jayasuriya, who took a three-wicket haul, bowled a short ball well wide of off and Smith managed an edge with his attempted cut. The faintest of outside edges went through to the keeper.

    Runs

    Decoding the stats of Smith

    Playing just his 4th Test (5 innings), Smith has raced to 318 runs at 63.60. In addition to his maiden century, he also owns two fifties.

    His knock against the Lankans consisted of 8 fours and a six.

    Before this, he scored 207 runs at 51.75 versus the Windies.

    As per ESPNcricinfo, this was Smith's 11th century in First-Class cricket. He owns 3,752 runs.
