Australia was bowled out for 399 but the visiting bowlers reduced the West Indies to 35-3 by the break. Off-spinner Nathan Lyon led the way with 2-1 while left-arm seamer Mitchell Starc grabbed 1-3.
Shane Dowrich (11) and Shai Hope were the unbeaten batsmen. Earlier, Smith stretched his ninth test century to within one of a maiden double before Taylor yorked him and gained a clear lbw verdict. The 26-year-old Smith's assured innings spanned 361 balls and 517 minutes and was laced with 21 fours and two sixes. He was the eighth batsman - and third Australia after Matthew Elliott and Steve Waugh - to be dismissed for 199.

Smith, overnight 135, got solid assistance from Josh Hazlewood (24) as the last three wickets added 93 runs.His ninth wicket stand with the left-handed Hazlewood was worth 63 when Taylor produced a wicked inswinger to deny Smith, who failed in his use of the TV review. Hazlewood, who hit two fours off 58 deliveries, eventually fell to a catch in the deep off left-arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul.
The West Indies reply stuttered badly in an hour's batting before tea, with Starc making the initial breakthrough before Lyon made his mark. Rajendra Chandrika, on debut, was dismissed for a duck, edging behind off a Starc delivery that was perilously close to being a no ball. Then Lyon bowled Kraigg Brathwaite (4) as he played inside the line and added a clear lbw verdict against Darren Bravo (14) to put Australia well on top.
