Smith’s phenomenal catch on record-equalling day

Smith takes outstanding boundary catch

Steve Smith had a phenomenal day in the field in Leeds, taking five catches.

He equalled the world record for most catches in a Test innings by a non-wicketkeeper.

Remarkably, he’s the only non-wicketkeeper in Test history to have taken five catches in an innings twice.

For one of his catches, Smith gobbled up a tough chance on the fine leg boundary to send Stuart Broad on his way.
