Steve Smith fails to score a big one

Steve Smith failed to convert his good start into a big score in the ongoing first Test match against New Zealand at the Optus Stadium in Perth. He was dismissed for a 164-ball 43 which included four boundaries. Smith was given a reprieve earlier when he was dropped by Tom Latham behind the wickets. The former Aussie skipper had an unimpressive series against Pakistan after the success of Ashes 2019 where he had scored 744 runs. Post his failure in the previous series, the stylish batsman was dethroned from the top spot by Indian skipper Virat Kohli. Smith is now at the second position in ICC Test rankings. Coming to the contest, the hosts won the toss and elected to bat first. Youngster Marnus Labuschagne has been the only centurion for the Aussies so far having scored 143. Left-handed batsman Travis Head scored a 97-ball 56. Meanwhile, skipper Tim Paine is still out in the middle which will be a huge relief for the Aussies as they near the 400-run mark with three wickets in hand.
