Leeds: The third Test match of the Ashes series being played between England and Australia has also become exciting. The Australian team, which has taken a 2-0 lead in the series, is now looking to tighten its grip in the third Test as well. By the end of the second day of the game, Australia has scored 116 runs for 4 wickets. In this way, on the basis of the first innings, the visiting team has taken a lead of 148 runs in the innings. In such a situation, the difficulty is now increasing for England in the third test. Not only Australia’s bowlers and batsmen have made it difficult for him, but the fielders have also increased a lot. Especially former captain Steve Smith did wonders in fielding.

Steve Smith took five great catches in the third Test of the Ashes series. With this, he became the first player in the history of Ashes to take five catches in an innings. Not only this, Smith has done this for the second time in Test cricket.

Prior to the Leeds Test against England, Smith had also done a great job of taking five catches as a ground fielder in the Cape Town Test played in the year 2018. Before Smith, this feat was done by Vic Richardson in 1936 in Test cricket.
