Smith's Grit Keeps Australia's Ship Afloat

After early setbacks in the first session, the Australian side makes a comeback, depending on Steve Smith’s excellence. With a composed fifty off 76 balls in the 33rd over, Smith not only accelerated the innings but also provided much-needed stability to the Aussie side.

With that half-century, Smith enters into a thrilling career milestone. He now boasts the record for the most 50-plus scores in Test matches in England by a visiting player. In 23 matches there, Smith has  18 fifty-plus scores. He played a crucial knock of 66 runs in 112 balls. With five wickets in hand, Alex Carey and Beau Webster are carrying the team towards a challenging total.
