Steve Smith’s innings in the rhythm suddenly stopped when he played a shot and the ball was seen flying towards the slip. At first sight, it seemed that the ball was going towards the boundary, but no one thought what happened. Standing in slip Existing Marco Yansen The agility shocked everyone and Smith too.
Steve Smith’s brilliant innings in the final of the World Test Championship 2025 came to an end when he might not have imagined that the ball would become dismissed instead of crossing the boundary. Smith was playing 66 runs in 112 balls and was batting with full confidence on Lord’s pitch.
In the second session of the first day, Aidan Markram’s first over was going on and Smith tried to play an aggressive shot off his last ball. But as soon as the bats were edited, the ball stood in the slip towards Marco Yansen. Jenson tried to catch the catch by leaning on the left side, then turned to the right, but the ball slipped twice. When the ball was about to fall for the third time, Yansen completed the catch in a spectacular style with the left hand.

Smith himself was also shocked by this catch. He had already thought that the ball was going to the boundary and four runs will be added, but instead he had to return to the pavilion. In his innings, Smith hit 10 fours and with a 79 -run bug webster, who was unbeaten at that time.
Two big records were also made during Smith’s innings. He finished 18 times by scoring Alan Border and Viv Richards in terms of scoring 50 or more runs in Test cricket on the land of England, which is the highest by any foreign batsman. Apart from this, the foreign batsmen who scored the most runs in Test cricket in Lord’s also became 491 runs before this match, which has moved even further.
