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

Neser to Will Jacks, out Caught by Smith!! Hey, hey! You can't do that Steve Smith! Jacks looked to defend this short of length delivery but it nipped away to find the edge. Smith was standing pretty wide at slip. He wasn't in picture but suddenly his left hand entered the frame to pluck it inches off the ground. He's given it back to Jacks who pulled off a blinder to dismiss him. They are checking if the catch is clean and the ump rules in favour of the home team. This is purely a reaction grab. It's definitely a fielder's wicket. This edge was dying on the fielder but Smith had his eyes glued on the ball even though he reacted a bit late, moved his left hand low while diving and made the impossible possible. He runs off and is pumped because he's broken this 96-run stand that was frustrating Australia. He roars in the huddle. Got to feel for Jacks. He did everything right this morning and looked set for a big stand with Stokes. Will Jacks c Smith b Neser 41(92) [4s-2]
