Hosts 209-4 with Handsc­omb (36) and Marsh (20) on the creaseADELAIDE: England snared the prized wicket of their nemesis Steve Smith as Australia toiled under the lights in a feisty opening day of the first-ever day-night Ashes Test in Adelaide on Saturday. It was debutant Craig Overton who claimed the huge scalp of the world’s top-rated Test batsman for 40 and his first Test wicket in the 63rd over of a grimly-fought contest between bat and ball. But the Australians, leading the series after a 10-wicket first Test win in Brisbane, only lost four wickets after being surprisingly sent into bat by England skipper Joe Root. “It was a pretty nice one, obviously,” Overton said of his dismissal of Smith. We felt like we bowled pretty well all day,” Overton said.
