Steve Smith survived a run-out chance by the BAREST of margins. 🤯 And the TV umpire's decision divided opinion. 🤔 9WWOS TheAshes Cricket
After surviving the run-out scare, Smith moved from 43 to 71 before throwing away his wicket when he attempted to heave a Woakes delivery through the leg side, only to get a leading edge on the ball and sky it to Bairstow, who took a terrific catch while running back toward the boundary."Well, the crowd is not happy," said former England opener Mark Butcher on the Sky Sports coverage when Smith was reprieved on 43.
Also in commentary for Sky Sports, former Australian skipper Mark Taylor chuckled as Ward wrapped up his analysis."So therefore it's out, is that what you're saying?"Former Indian wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik agreed with the TV umpire's decision and found fault in Bairstow's glovework. After resuming on day two at 1-61, the Australian batters found the going incredibly tough in the first session.
Broad and James Anderson ignited an England onslaught after lunch — the former removing Khawaja and Travis Head in his first two overs after the interval, and Anderson getting Mitchell Marsh to chop on shortly after.
