Steve Smith’s remarkable one-handed catch on Day 4 in Brisbane was pivotal in Australia’s path to victory over England, effectively securing their grip on the Ashes urn. With England’s Ben Stokes and Will Jacks on the brink of a century partnership, Smith’s catch triggered an England collapse, leading to Stokes’ dismissal just two overs later. Michael Neser, who took five wickets, helped dismantle the lower order, allowing Australia to chase a modest target of 65 runs to take a 2-0 series lead.
