Crisps stop drama, batting without bails and Steve Smith seeing it. Here is the selection of the activity in Old Trafford... An Australia retrieval was led by steve Smith to the side after concussion onto a day one of their fourth Ashes Test against England at Old Trafford on his return. SCORECARD | AS IT HAPPENED Stuart Broad dismissed David Warner (0) for the fifth time in seven innings and also removed his opening partner Marcus Harris (13) since Australia tumbled to 28-2 after opting to bat in chilly Manchester. However, Smith (60no) - rear after missing England's Ben Stokes-inspired, series-levelling triumph in the third Test at Headingley - took his runs tally for the series to 438 at a mean of 146 since the tourists closed per day on which only 44 overs were bowled on 170-3. No evidence that Smith saw it just like a beach ball has been needed after the batsman swatted an inflatable throughout the. It was an unusual sight but the shot with which he reached a record eighth successive Ashes fifty in a row has been all the more astonishing. Smith, in the words of Ian Botham, had to dive to reach a complete, wide delivery that has been meters off stump but held his upper body contour enough to drill it to four to the drive - falling on his back knee in the procedure. "He looked just like a drunk," observed David Gower,"but he middled it." Proving, in the procedure, that so long as you keep your eye that your rank is of secondary significance. The shot that was bizarre came at a session in which Australia batted about the stumps without any bails - the umpires removing the bails after they were blown off by the wind. It required some 25 minutes to obtain some heavy bails - or rather the original bails with a few screws drilled to the end of those. Interruptions were brought by the sharp wind as crap - principally packs that were crisp - brought play . Inspired by the face of Stuart Broad, the waits got on his nerves. Can England miss a trick by not going for the jugular at the morning session? The build-up to the Evaluation has been dominated by the possible contest between Jofra Archer and Smith but, to the shock of many of our pundits, the paceman did not appear to flex his back and then go all out when the returning batsman came at 28-2 - the speed gun consistently registering in the minimal 80mph bracket. What is more, Archer bowled just seven balls he knocked over at Lord's, forcing him to miss the next Test at Headingley. "It's possibly the first time that Joe Root has to be a tiny bit tough with Archer," said Nasser Hussain, requiring a few difficult love, before recognizing that conditions were tricky. "I understand you're cold, I know you're stiff, it has been a long summer, but turn it up!' Make him out that this is the most crucial spell." Nas continued:"Smith would have spent the past two weeks considering this comeback against Archer, who has peppered him. I fully comprehend he was tired at that time Smith came in and so you just take him out of the assault to provide him another burst before lunch, but burst never arrived." Ricky Ponting:"To me, England have appeared flat. But I really don't want to discount how hard those states have been for bowling. Is exactly how windy it has been - and also a stop, start sort of affair. However there wasn't that fire that we would usually expect to see, coming quite a lengthy break from Leeds to here." Michael Holding:"Smith was permitted to venture out there and pretty much settle in and by the time Archer got straight back into the assault, Smith was pretty much depended. If people get struck you can work out what's going on in their thoughts. It was odd because Archer hadn't fated his five overs at intense pace." David Lloyd:"Where's Warne sat?" As the umpteenth empty crisp packet interrupts the day session, blown throughout the floor by the wind.
