AUS vs ENG: In the ongoing 2nd ODI between Australia and England at Sydney Cricket Ground, the home team opted to bat first after winning the toss. Australian batting stalwart Steve Smith missed out on his well-deserved hundred as he held the innings together with Marnus Labuschagne.
In the 32nd over by Adil Rashid, the spinner had bowled a no-ball on the 2nd delivery. Consequently, the subsequent delivery was a free hit.
Here, Steve Smith tried something he has been seen doing very rarely. The batter changed his batting side and became a left-hander, trying to dispatch the ball towards a deep point. However, the batter missed the ball completely and was left clueless on the crease.
