ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Australia run-machine Steve Smith was kicking himself after missing out on a hundred on a "dead" Rawalpindi wicket on Monday as the opening test against Pakistan headed for a draw.

Each of Australia's top four batsmen passed the 50-mark but could not convert them into hundreds on a flat track which yielded 925 runs and 11 wickets over four days of a run-feast.
