Steve Smith breaks 99-year-old record with half-century in WTC Final at Lord’s

Steve Smith’s love affair with the Lord’s continued in the ongoing World Test Championship (WTC) final as he played a brilliant knock on the opening day. He held one end, even as Australia lost wickets at regular intervals to notch up his 42nd fifty in the longest format of the game. In the process, Smith also became the leading run-scorer by a visiting batter at Lord’s.
