Australia are currently taking on South Africa in the final of the World Test Championship (WTC) 2025 at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground in London. Needing 282 to win their first ICC trophy after 27 years, South Africa are in the driver's seat right now as captain Temba Bavuma is looking dangerous. However, he could have found out much earlier in the fourth innings. However, Steve Smith missed a golden opportunity to get him out, and in the process injured himself.

Bavuma was batting on two runs, when he edged a ball from Mitchell Starc. It went straight into the hands of Steve Smith at slip. However, it just brushed his fingers, as he dropped the catch. This drop proved costly for Smith as he looked to have injured his finger. He was seething in pain, and had to be taken off the field as well.

Steve Smith smashed 66 in the first innings. He could only manage 13 in the second innings. Smith has ended his WTC 2023-25 cycle with 1403 runs. In the WTC 2019-21 cycle, Smith slammed 1343 runs, followed by 1407 runs in 2021-23 cycle. He becomes the first batter in history to slam more than 1300+ runs in all three WTC cycles.

Steve Smith now has 604 runs in Lord's. He now becomes the first overseas player to breach the 600-run landmark in the history of the game. He had already crossed Warren Bardsley as the non-English batter with the most runs at Lord's with his half-century in the first innings.

Smith also crossed Viv Richards to become the overseas batter with the most 50+ scores in England, by scoring his 18th 50+ score in the first innings.
