England's Mark Wood bowled a hostile first spell in the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy encounter against Australia at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium. Wood sent back Australian skipper Steve Smith early on, as the Aussies attempted to chase down 352. Wood, who bowled some rapid deliveries, dismissed Smith for the fourth time in ODI cricket. Here are the key stats. Travis Head was the first Australian batter to depart. He was caught and bowled by Jofra Archer. Wood got rid of Smith in the very next over. The English seamer dismissed Smith with a 150.5 KPH delivery. Wood exploited the outside edge of Smith's blade as the ball went straight to Duckett at first slip. The latter managed a 6-ball 5. As mentioned, Smith has fallen to Wood for the fourth time in ODI cricket. In 10 innings, the Aussie batter has managed 61 runs off 87 balls at an average of 15.25. His strike-rate reads 70.11. Wood bowled four overs in his first spell, coneding just 23 runs. His average speed in the four-over spell was 151.2 KPH, the fastest-ever spell, as per Cricbuzz (three-plus overs).
