England vs Australia, 5th Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary
Zak Crawley 73(76)
26.3
Cummins to Crawley, out Caught by Smith!! Cummins has struck early after lunch. Could have had both batters but they will take the wicket of a well-set and dangerous Crawley. This had to be the plan right from the start. Full and get Crawley driving outside off, this ball would have been left alone by most batters but Crawley goes for the full-blooded drive and gets an outside edge to second slip. Smith gets it at an awkward height around his midriff but he manages to reverse cup it safely. Not much movement on the ball, it was just a loose shot. Crawley c Smith b Cummins 73(76) [4s-9]
