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

Brydon Carse to Smith, out Caught by Will Jacks!! Oh my word! This Test has come back alive within a span of four deliveries. And how about that catch by Will Jacks! That's a spectacular take by him at backward square leg. Brydon Carse has dismissed for the set batters in the same over. Goes short down the leg-side and Smith gets cramped for room. Was in an awkward position while playing that hook as Jacks completes a fine one-handed catch flying to his right. What a game this is proving to be. Swinging like the pendulum of a clock!
