Smith’s dubious exit saw England take control of the match and eventually finish off a 16-run win. They also took the five-match series having won all of the opening three fixtures.

The Australian captain was going along nicely on 45 alongside Mitchell Marsh and the pair were on the precipice of taking the game away from the tourists until Smith was caught behind by Jos Buttler off the bowling of Mark Wood.

Buttler was also the hero for England in the first innings, entering the fray at 107-4, he finished exactly 100 not out to salvage England’s innings and help them reach target of 302, which proved too much for their Australian counterparts.
