Steve Smith breaks Inzamam-ul-Haq test record in Ashes Final

Steve Smith the world’s top-ranked batsman in Test cricket scored his 10th half-century against England before eventually finishing with 80. Pakistan batting great Inzamam-ul-Haq’s record of most Test fifties against a single opponent was broken by Australian superstar Steve Smith on Friday in the fifth and final Ashes Test.

The supremely in-form Smith’s 10th fifty against England is one more than Inzamam’s nine, also against England.

Steve Smith has been in historic form this Ashes series and has piled up a staggering 751 runs at a stupendous average of 125 runs per innings.

His incredible performances during Ashes 2019 have led some to call him the second coming of the great Sir Donald Bradman.

Smith departs for his lowest score of the series (just the 80 runs)

Woakes traps him in front of the wicket and Australia are eight wickets down!
