World Test Championship Final: Steve Smith and Beau Webster helped Australia bounce back from an awful first session by hitting half-centuries each and helped the side reach 190/5 in 50 overs on Day One of the World Test Championship Final at the Lord’s Cricket Ground here on Wednesday.

As compared to being blown away in the first session by the pace of Kagiso Rabada and Marco Jansen, Smith and Webster rotated the strike with ease, scored plenty of boundaries while sharing a 79-run stand, and helped Australia to force their way back into the match.

While Smith made 66 off 112 balls, laced with ten boundaries, and established a new record for the most runs scored by a visiting batter in Tests at the iconic venue, Webster overcame early struggles to be unbeaten on 55 off 76 balls.
