#4 Adil Rashid gets the big fish
Ad

Wood wasn't the only one who made England ponder the 'what ifs'. Adil Rashid, dumped for the Tests due to his inconsistency - Mason Crane was picked in his place - sent Australian fans into a tizzy when he had the Bradmanesque Steven Smith with a slider. Known for turning the ball, Rashid kept bowling sliders at Smith in the over.
By the fifth ball, it seemed like the Aussie skipper had decided that it would be a ripping leg break and went for an expansive drive outside off. But Rashid pushed in another arm ball and the resulting inside edge was snapped up by Buttler.
