00:00Oh, nice start with the odd short ball.
00:21It's amazing how that bumper is a real weapon. It's quick and it's...
00:26No balled.
00:32No balled.
00:38Swing and a miss.
00:56No balled.
01:06Bread and butter.
01:08No balled.
01:14No balled.
01:18Oh, there.
01:22Oh.
01:26Jump.
01:27A lot of ballers are afraid to ball it.
01:39A lot of ballers are afraid to ball it.
01:53A real flap outside off stump.
01:57Hands through the ball.
01:58Four more.
01:59Just an element of disdain there.
02:11Wasn't off the back foot.
02:12Just through the sink and everything.
02:13It was 89 mile an hour.
02:15It was a quick delivery again from Archer.
02:17What a shot.
02:18Starting to get in full flow here, Steve Smith.
02:21Yes.
02:24Wait.
02:25No, no point.
02:2781 now to 204.
02:29About the world.
02:30Joffre Archer's got a pretty good Yorker.
02:34As I've served.
02:36Oh, there you go.
02:37Just comes up on the arm.
02:39No arm guard.
02:52That will come up.
02:53My little leg will just appear on there.
03:00Oh, he's had a goal.
03:03And he's got a nick on it.
03:04And it's over the key before.
03:07Don't miss this.
03:10This is quick as well.
03:20Top edge, but enough top edge to clear Bairstoke.
03:26Just a few minutes.
03:29Going for it again.
03:40Every effort.
03:41Every sinew.
03:42It rattles into the gloves.
03:43It's 96 miles an hour.
03:45That last delivery.
03:46Pulled away just on the top of.
03:47Backward square leg.
03:48And it goes for four.
03:49203 for six.
03:50And it goes for four.
03:51203 for six.
03:52And it goes for four.
03:53203 for six.
03:55And how close this is to Ben Stokes.
03:57And how close this is to Ben Stokes.
03:58Helped it on its way.
03:59Oh, man.
04:00Oh, man.
04:01Oh, man.
04:02Oh, man.
04:03Oh.
04:04Maybe a couple of yards or more.
04:05Should be an idea.
04:09Oh, man.
04:10Oh, man.
04:11Oh, man.
04:12Oh, man.
04:13Oh, man.
04:14Oh, man.
04:15And so much.
04:16Down average conditions.
04:1710 points.
04:17Right down average.
04:182 points.
04:19These six points.
04:202 points.
04:21Yeah.
04:22If you're a calendar day.
04:2410 points on your lap.
04:24No.
04:25How close this is to Ben Stokes.
04:26He's helped it on its way.
04:28Maybe, maybe a couple of yards or more.
04:31$0.
04:34Trying to be with an idea.
04:35It's never getting there.
04:36Safe.
04:3800.
04:39Oh, dear.
04:41It's a wonderful spell of bowling.
05:11As I mentioned, a real champion of the great players in one heck of a battle.
05:41New regulations on concussion, it's absolutely the right thing.
05:51What lads are like, I want to stay on, I want to stay on.
05:54He absolutely dropped him to the floor, he was flat out.
06:30I want to possibly stay on after that.
06:40A little too short.
06:41When he said it's most effective, it's around throat height and shoulder height.
06:46No!
06:47No!
06:48No!
06:49Leg slip position.
06:50Full, wide and driven, three point for four.
06:56Just so patient, he waits and bides his time.
07:07We've seen that shot from him a few times.
07:09He doesn't miss it.
07:11No, he doesn't.
07:12The interesting thing to me with that one there in particular was.
07:16He won there as well.
07:21Bouncer.
07:22Great reaction with the eating, the drinking, the establishments.
07:32Get the seats.
07:33I'm at two points.
07:34Three points!
07:36Three, two points!
07:38Oh, a little bit!
07:39The most effort ball bounces at the front of the batsman is that one there that sort
07:40of comes out of nowhere.
07:41Bit of a real surprise!
07:50It comes out of nowhere, a bit of a real surprise.
07:59Oh, four more.
08:01Cluttered.
08:06Well, that's a captain killer.
08:08Got a field set for a straight line.
08:11You cannot afford the end to bowl short and wide.
08:17It's the two slips and a fine gully,
08:19and you're bowling out there.
08:20We heard NASA and Michael holding during that rainbreak talk.
08:40Pulled away.
08:41There's two men out there.
08:42It's between the two.
08:43How does that work?
08:52How much is bowling this stuff?
08:58Oh, that's actionally off the seam.
09:05That just began to go in the air and then went, carried on off the seam.
09:14Good ball.
09:16Keep an eye on Archer Plus.
09:18Shot.
09:18Shot.
09:22Really nice.
09:22Off the back foot.
09:23He played quite a few of those yesterday.
09:26Shot he played to get to 50 was extravagant,
09:29but because he's hanging back to Archer,
09:31he doesn't transfer his weight,
09:33but his hand-eye coordination is brilliant.
09:36Yeah, the first boundary hit of Archer yesterday was exactly that shot,
09:41almost hanging back as if he's waiting for the short ball.
09:44As you say, he's got very good hands through the ball.
09:48Oh, in the air.
09:54Just passed Archer.
09:55I think he got a finger to it.
09:57It was a low, full toss.
10:00It'll be back-to-back boundaries, I think, for Smith.
10:02Yeah, it just creeps over.
10:05Yeah, Archer did get a fingertip to it,
10:07but the fact that it still went for four shows you
10:09that Smith hit it pretty sweetly.
10:12Strange delivery.
10:13Strange result.
10:16Odd cricket all round, really.
10:17You don't often see an opening bowler low, full toss,
10:20and because Smith's got his weight back,
10:22that's why it went in the air.
10:28Like that.
10:32Because all Smith's weight is going across to the offside,
10:35then becomes very difficult for him to sway.
10:37That's going to solve that problem.
10:47Well, he's been much better today.
10:57Away.
10:58No third man.
10:59That'll be four.
11:00As an unusual shot.
11:06You can see Smith replaying it there.
11:08It wasn't a cut shot.
11:10It wasn't quite a back-foot force.
11:14The key was that he played it late,
11:16and therefore played it down into the ground,
11:18behind square.
11:19No field is there.
11:20Because of the point that Michael Holding makes,
11:23that because Root has set four men on the leg side,
11:26then there are gaps on the offside for Smith,
11:30even though that's not an area.
11:32Another.
11:58Told well in front of square,
12:01and they should look for three.
12:10Oh, down the leg side.
12:12Just a tickle.
12:17Yeah, runs given.
12:28Yeah, little glove.
12:29Not far away from Johnny Bairstow.
12:31350 comes up for Australia.
12:38He's starting to bend his...
12:40Cut away.
12:54Third man.
12:54Does it carry?
12:55No.
13:04That's it.
13:10Well, that is dismissive.
13:11He said dismissive last over with a cover drive from off Stuart Broad,
13:14but that was dismissive there.
13:16Stayed very still.
13:18Archer just dug it in.
13:21Just rocked his weight on his back foot.
13:23Bang.
13:24Picked his gap.
13:25Got it straight over mid-wicket's head.
13:27Four more.
13:27I just wonder if this might anger George Archer slightly.
13:33He played that shot through the covers, Caribbean style at Lord's.
13:37Seven.
13:44Well, what a shot this is.
13:4788 miles an hour.
13:48He just opens the face.
13:49Much to the annoyance of Joffre.
13:56This just backs up, I think, what Michael Holdings' belief has always been about Steve Smith.
14:00And we had Mike Atherton talking about trying to set a really heavy onside field
14:04and bowl at the top of off stump with only three fielders on the offside.
14:08Well, that one's at the top of leg stump on the ground.
14:18Steve Smith came into the Australian team as a young man that bowled leg spin.
14:22Everyone kept telling me about how much batting talent he had,
14:24and I think we'd all agree early on that we didn't see it for the first few years of his career.
14:28I think he's just enjoying himself.
14:45I know you've been around the...
14:47Just trying to think of the music that would go along with those last couple of deliveries.
14:52You could have some fun with the music to go with this team, couldn't you?
14:56He's moved across the offside, the onside.
14:58Archers followed him nicely.
15:09Ooh!
15:09Ooh!
15:12I think it's comical.
15:25Ooh!
15:25That's where you want to be.
15:46Yeah, thanks very much, Mikey.
15:48England on top of the Aussies here, 14 for two.
15:52And Smith and Lavish are delivering to knock over Steve Smith.
15:57Being immovable, really, hasn't he, from the last couple of test matches.
15:59Not sure the run-out was on.
16:07Very rarely leaves his...
16:09The two.
16:13So we're picturing the team to bowl fast.
16:15It's a good contest between Australia's...
16:19Stump.
16:20Not now!
16:21Good over.
16:22Great start.
16:24Shot.
16:27Judge of length.
16:28Body.
16:28Oh, what?
16:30Ball.
16:30Staps the ball outside off stump, and then can shape it away.
16:41Actually left him off the pitch.
16:43See Steve Smith lining it up.
16:44The reason he missed it is actually decked off the pitch like a leg break.
16:48Actually, good leg, good battle.
16:50Good lead.
16:52That's where he's...
16:52Yeah, good...
16:55The odd one sometimes.
17:00They're all in the game.
17:02Oh, and he just...
17:03Yeah, let him off the hook with a half-poly.
17:05It's pretty lush out there.
17:06I'm not sure it'll go all the way.
17:09Touch and go.
17:11Off-field it.
17:12Might run for.
17:16For after this.
17:17Great man of Lancashire cricket, Jack.
17:23First came in to the Sheffield Shield.
17:32Oh.
17:35Shot.
17:38Again, clipped off the stamps, but clipped for four.
17:45Terrific control.
17:47I mentioned earlier, it's just like slow motion.
17:52Into position, head position, terrific.
17:56Clipped away.
17:56Great timing.
17:57Clipped away.
17:57Great timing.
18:17It's actually quite a similar position that he got into at Lord's, wasn't it?
18:23More true, more consistent bounce here.
18:26Cross-seam bouncer from Archer.
18:28Oh, in the air.
18:37There's a man out there, but land safe.
18:46That is test career.
18:47Off in a very, very positive note.
18:49That one, not quite as good.
18:51Too short.
18:51Bairstow can do nothing about that.
18:53That'll be four wides to close out the 51st over.
18:59Play.
19:00Oh.
19:00Oh.
19:01Oh.
19:01Oh.
19:02Oh.
19:02Oh.
19:02Oh.
19:03Oh.
19:03Oh.
19:04Oh.
19:04Oh.
19:04Oh.
19:04Oh.
19:05Oh.
19:05Oh.
19:05Oh.
19:06Oh.
19:06Oh.
19:06Oh.
19:06Oh.
19:07Oh.
19:07Oh.
19:07Oh.
19:08Oh.
19:08Oh.
19:08Oh.
19:09Yeah, it is.
19:10Yeah, you're dead, right?
19:11Good stuff.
19:14And listen to the crowd.
19:16Often get this with Archer or indeed Broad.
19:20The crowd just senses they're in the middle of a spell.
19:23You get.
19:24There's another four.
19:41Well, that's the point that Ricky Ponting was making and that Nasser illustrated on third man.
19:48If you take your fine leg and put him at deep point, Smith gets a single there and you get to bowl at Peter Siddle or Joffre Archer gets to bowl at Peter Siddle.
20:01Instead, Smith picks up four, moves to 70.
20:09But it had come off of the shoulder of the back.
20:11Starts to look around.
20:12Where is it?
20:12Where is it?
20:15Where is it?
20:18Well, you know what?
20:25There's a gap there and he's found it.
20:27Well, as good as he is, I don't think he was looking for that precise gap.
20:31There is a very small gap, as you say, between Stokes and Burns there at second and fourth slip.
20:36He was actually trying to put that wide of Burns' right hand.
20:41Maybe to pick up a couple and make Denley move to his left.
20:45He certainly wasn't looking for that tiny gap.
20:48Just a mid-off and a deep point.
20:57That's the gap that Smith is looking for.
21:04Got the company of the tail enders as well, so England will be trying to keep Smith away from strike as much as...
21:10Oh, and again.
21:19Well, that's gone fine.
21:20That's eluded everyone.
21:22Leg buys.
21:25Yes, sorry, go on, Rick.
21:27Yes, I'm going back to that point with the deep square.
21:28If they've got him back there for a hook shot or a pull shot, they're not going to play at it.
21:32So you wouldn't mind him actually trying to take on...
21:33Get it off the ground.
21:38That's lovely.
21:40Even Steve Smith might hit that before.
21:41But it is, it's, I mean, it's a back foot drive, isn't it?
21:48It's not easing into the front foot or onto the front foot and caressing it.
21:52It's off the back foot.
21:55Any movement forward comes afterwards.
21:57Here he is.
21:58Balance is all right, but...
22:00It's more Caribbean than Australian, put it that way.
22:05Whoa!
22:09Well, that's another piece of a delivery.
22:11There's so much happening here.
22:14The front...
22:15At breakneck speed throughout and so much happening for those that may have walked in just to see Australia.
22:20One without scoring, one lost wicket without scoring and wondering why Usman Khawaja...
22:25Stump.
22:41Back-to-back shield games, 100 and a pair of 50s.
22:47There's no preparation that can prepare you for a pitch like this when the ball's zipping.
22:55Oh!
22:59Oh!
22:59Oh!
23:02With all their might...
23:04Wait!
23:06No gun!
23:08Right, yep!
23:09Fission.
23:12And immediately squared up.
23:13First-class cricket never got hit there once.
23:17Oh!
23:18That's the same spot.
23:19And that's twice in half an hour.
23:22But that one didn't hurt.
23:23He's back...
23:24Well, he's got a bit of padding there now, hasn't he?
23:26That was a bit more to the side, then steams in again.
23:31And they target Smith on the hip.
23:32This is tough test cricket.
23:35Yeah, it's that sort of, that muscle there,
23:37where you try and twist your arm.
23:40It sort of hits that, and then...
23:46And he got another one on the forearm,
23:48then he gets one on the bottom glove,
23:50on the finger, the index finger.
23:52And that's where there's no padding on that.
23:5433 overs on that pitch today was not good enough,
23:58so they've got to bounce back with the ball.
24:01But this is quite the attack with Archer, Wood,
24:05and we saw Atkinson and Kass as well.
24:08So it's the full-paced battery that Brendan McCollum has been building
24:11for this series over the last three years, David.
24:14Yeah, he definitely has, and this is the test match.
24:17He's going to make it tough.
24:25He's under a short one.
24:27Facing Archer.
24:29And he's tempted outside of Stubb.
24:32Archer was up.
24:33Up again.
24:34I heard something.
24:46Carrey, good pace.
24:50I feel like...
24:51Yeah, Travis Head.
24:52Not now!
24:53Something happening everywhere.
24:55Oh!
24:56Off to the leg side.
24:58He doesn't need to be where he is.
24:59You're right.
25:00The other guy can come behind.
25:02Because at the pace and the angle, Steve Smith goes...
25:07Again, past the outside edge.
25:09Plus!
25:10Smith gets under a short...
25:12Yep!
25:13And he's away for a couple of less, Steve Smith.
25:15Yeah, I think since the break-in and obviously had a chat,
25:16and they've done a little bit more tradition.
25:17Live.
25:18Yes!
25:19No run!
25:20Oh!
25:21Oh!
25:22Oh!
25:23Oh!
25:24Oh!
25:25Oh!
25:26Oh!
25:27Oh!
25:28Oh!
25:29Oh!
25:30Oh!
25:31Oh!
25:32Oh!
25:33Oh!
25:34Oh!
25:35Oh!
25:36Oh!
25:37Oh!
25:38Oh!
25:39Oh!
25:40Oh!
25:41Oh!
25:42Miss Cue...
25:51But luckily, Steve Smith...
25:54A bit of extra bounce there out of the surface, Joffre Archer did.
26:01As we see here, it's just kicked up a little bit, skidded off nicely.
26:05Top edge.
26:07Wanted to hit that to the leg side...
26:09Got away with it, Boundary four, oh shot, what a shot that is, brilliant for Smith, well he's got answers to most things, doesn't he, Stephen Smith
26:32There's men in the deep, waiting for a hook shot, missed on a hook shot, so what does Stephen Smith do, short, and that's gone over about, what, a second slip, and yet again that comes down to, that was a red ball, that's actually skidding on nicely, day two wicket generally speeds up here, he's allowed to adjust the tip
26:54Angry Joffre
27:10We're left
27:13Good evening all
27:16On the thumb
27:18Ouch
27:19That's going to sting for a while
27:21Partnership worth 51
27:25Archer still striving, oh that's an elegant shot, he stepped a leg and just guided it, almost like he knew where the ball was coming from
27:32Yeah he's got so much time and awareness, such a good problem solver
27:39And there is a bit of extra bounce but on this occasion from Joffre, it's just a little bit wide, he knows exactly where the space is
27:47He's playing a nice roll here, Steve Smith, he's set, and he's going to have to find a way of dislodging him quick
27:58Whatever he
28:00Yep
28:02Ooh, Steve Smith
28:05Nice foot movement
28:07Trying to glide the ball down a third
28:09Oh, Steve Smith, he's in a bit of a hurry, got up the length he was after him, just tugged it away through mid-wicket
28:23He's got a good shot, I think he was banking on the short pitch delivery
28:27He was banking on the short pitch delivery
28:32He was banking on the short pitch delivery
28:34Looks a bit awkward when he plays that shot
28:35He doesn't look like a natural puller and hooker
28:39But nonetheless, he still finds a way to hit it for four
28:41he still finds a way to hit it for four.
28:51Three and a half thousand Ashes runs.
28:53We've got some of the names on there.
28:54Gee, there's a third man in play,
28:55but I guess Smith figures if he gets a touch on it,
28:58there's a bit of a chat too, but...
29:01He's got much of the score.
29:08Told him to bowl faster, Steve Smith,
29:10and he did, and he sent him to the rope.
29:12Nice bit of silver, they're at it again.
29:15Eye to eye.
29:16Archer and Smith are still going.
29:21Steve Smith saying, look at the scoreboard.
29:24All right, we need to listen again.
29:26I think he tied in the bowl a bit faster.
29:27He did.
29:34Come on up, he'll let it go.
29:36That's what we're after, a bit of spice.
29:38Emotion enters the series,
29:39and that's what England's best chance,
29:41make it emotional.
29:44Without that talk, is Smith taking that on, Kerry,
29:46or is he just ducking underneath it?
