As soon as commentators talked about this - Steve Smith gave away his wicket on a good-short length ball. Mark Wood bowled short of length, around the imaginary sixth-seventh stump line. It seemed like Steve Smith was clueless as he edged it behind Jos Buttler. Cricket Australia posted a video with the caption 'How about that for a commentator's curse! Man facepalming. Wood finds the edge of Smith #Ashes'

Talking about the match, Australians are at 193/4 at Tea with a lead of 46 runs over England. Warner (94*) is at the crease who'll be joined by Travis Head. Earlier, England captain Joe Root won the toss & opted to bat first against Australia in the first ashes test, and were restricted to 147/10 in mere 50.1 overs courtesy of Aussie skipper Pat Cummins five-fer. This match is being played at The Gabba, Brisbane.
