WATCH: Steve Smith Entertains Crowd With Unorthodox Batting At Lord's

Australia star batsman Steve Smith scored twin tons in his comeback Test at Edgbaston where the crowd welcomed him with some boos in his comeback Test

Australia star batsman Steven Smith entertained the crowd with his unorthodox batting technique as he yet again proved why he is the most entertaining batsman when it comes playing Test Cricket. The flamboyant batsman frustrated the English bowlers with his exaggerated batting moments. So far, this year's campaign has been good for Smith following a 12-month ball-tampering ban. The 30-year-old scored twin tons in his comeback Test at Edgbaston where the crowd welcomed him with some boos in his comeback Test. Jofra Archer, a welcome boost for England, topping speeds of 90 mph, marked his Test debut when he nipped one back sharply to have Bancroft lbw for 13. Australia lost three wickets for 11 runs en route to slumping to 80-4 when rain forced an early lunch on the third day of the second Test.That left Australia 178 runs behind England's first-innings 258. The 24.1 overs that took place in the morning session represented the only action on Friday, with persistent rain leading the umpires to eventually abandon play for the day at 5:22 pm local time (1622 GMT) in a match where Wednesday's scheduled first day had already been washed out without a ball bowled.
