Watch: Tom Cooper takes a screamer to send Steve Smith packing

Watch: Tom Cooper takes a screamer to send Steve Smith packing: Its not long before Test cricket will witness another major churning and quite a revolutionary one. The third Test of the upcoming New Zealand versus Australia series to be played at the Adelaide Oval will be the first day night Test match in the history of Cricket. What we must not forget is that the first international Test was played way back in 1877. To improve the dwindling interest in the longest format and increase its financial viability the ICC has thought of this proposition. It will have to be given time to gain acceptance and explore what dimensions it brings to the table.

This first ever day-night Test is a challenge for the cricketers to switch from the red ball to the pink ball. Pink balls present varied hurdles and keeping that in mind the Aussies have already started practicing and preparing themselves for the twilight encounter. And the efforts are not limited to net sessions. Cricket Australia has been kind enough to allow a twilight session on the first day of the Sheffield Shield encounters. And it presented a perfect scenario for us to judge how could the marquee clash between Australia and New Zealand later in November, unfold.

South Australia Redbacks skipper and a hard hitting opening batsman Travis Head who not long ago made the highest List A score while chasing, was in action for his off spin skills this time. First to depart was David Warner who could not read the flight while Ed Cowan was lucky to dropped at first slip. But the scalp of the spell came when Steve Smith charged head only to get a thinnish edge to Cooper at first slip who literally plucked it out of thin air. One of the best diving catches you will ever see.
