BRISBANE (Reuters) - Allowing the home captain to score an unbeaten century might not seem like 'mission accomplished' for an opposing team's bowlers, but paceman Stuart Broad believes England have Steve Smith right where they want him in the series-opening Ashes test.

Smith strolled off the Gabba with 141 after tea on day three, having pushed his team to 328 and a slender lead over England's first innings 302.
