Sportstar · sports
Steve Smith was dismissed for 25 runs on Day 1 of the first Test against South Africa. This marks his return to Test cricket in South Africa for the first time since his one-year ban following the Sandpaper-gate scandal. Smith came to bat when Australia was in a precarious position at 24/2. He partnered with Marnus Labuschagne, contributing to a 60-run partnership that helped stabilize the innings to 84/2 before both batters were dismissed around the lunch break.
