Australia vs England, 2nd Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Mitchell Starc to Brook, out Caught by Smith!! This is why Isa Guha called him the 'King of Pink-ball cricket,' just moments ago. Mitchell Starc goes full, wide outside off and Brook's natural instincts take over. Goes for a flashy drive away from his body and the outside edge flies straight to the Australian captain in the slip cordon. Smith at 2nd slip makes no mistake and England have lost their second wicket of the session. Starc with his third wicket. That flew quickly at him and Smith lost the sight of the ball for a bit in the background, but he manages to take it. Brook c Smith b Mitchell Starc 31(33) [4s-4]
