The Ashes 2025 fifth Test - day five: England's Will Jacks bowls Australia's Steve Smith for 12

Australia Stunned as Will Jacks' Brilliant Delivery Spells Doom for Steve Smith

In a turning point of the Ashes 2025 fifth Test, England's Will Jacks delivered a delivery that left Australia captain Steve Smith stunned and bowled him out for just 12 runs. The over from Jacks has spun a mile, leaving Smith looking perplexed as he clung desperately to his bat before succumbing to the brilliance of English bowling.

With Australia on 92-3, needing 68 runs to win the match, Smith's dismissal marks a significant blow to their chances of emerging victorious. The tourists were already reeling from a series of wickets, and this latest loss has pushed them to the brink of collapse.

Smith's struggles with Jacks' delivery have left him frustrated, as he repeatedly attempted to play shots but was unable to connect with the ball. The Australian captain eventually succumbed to the pressure, allowing Jacks to celebrate a notable success in his innings.

The fifth and final Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground has witnessed dramatic turnarounds in fortunes, and this latest development only adds to the intrigue surrounding the match. Will England's bowling continue to cause Australia problems, or will the tourists mount an impressive recovery?
 
man i cant believe how far australia has fallen in this ash test its like theyre running away with it 🤯 meanwhile england is just getting better and better 💪 the thing is smiths dismissal wasnt just a one off his game has been all over the place lately and thats what makes will jackss delivery so deadly 🔥 its like he saw right through smith's defences 💡 anyway this match just got way more interesting now 🤔
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around that incredible over from Will Jacks 🤯. The way he spun the ball and left Steve Smith utterly flummoxed was a masterclass in cricketing skill. It's not surprising that Smith struggled to cope with the delivery, given its complexity and unpredictability – it's almost as if Jacks was able to read Smith's mind and exploit his weaknesses perfectly 😂.

The fact that Australia is now teetering on the brink of collapse is a testament to England's superior bowling attack. The question now is whether they can sustain this level of performance and see their team through to victory 🤞. One thing's for sure, though – Will Jacks has cemented his place as one of the most exciting young bowlers in the game right now 💥.
 
OMG, that over from Will Jacks was pure genius! 😍 I mean, 12 runs for Steve Smith is pretty much a low score, and it's clear he was caught off guard by the speed and spin of that delivery. 🤯 As a fan of cricket, I'm loving this turn of events in the Ashes series - it's like the whole match has been turned upside down! 😅 The pressure on Australia is definitely piling up now, and England's bowlers are really stepping up their game. 👏 Fingers crossed for them to keep it up and secure another win! 🎉
 
OMG, WHAT A TURN OF EVENTS!!! AUSTRALIA WAS ON THE ROLL BUT THEN WILL JACKS CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND SPUN THAT DELIVERY LIKE CRAZY!!! STEVE SMITH LOOKED LIKE A FISH OUT OF WATER TRYING TO DEAL WITH IT 🤯! I MEAN, THE GUY'S GOT SKILLS FOR SURE BUT COME ON, 12 RUNS?! AUSTRALIA WAS ALREADY IN TROUBLE AND NOW THIS IS JUST PUTTING THE FINAL NAIL IN THE COFFIN 😅. CAN ENGLAND KEEP THIS UP AND TAKE HOME THE SERIES?! I'M HOOKED ON WATCHING THESE TEST MATCHES 📺!
 
OMG, what a turn of events 🤯! I was thinking Austies had it in the bag, but that one delivery from Jacks is pure magic ✨! I mean, Smith's got some serious skills, but Jacks just outsmarted him 😎. Australia's gotta regroup now, or they're toast 🍞. The Ashes are getting more intense by the minute! Can't wait to see how England's bowlers keep up this pace 💪!
 
I think this is a pretty dramatic turning point for the Ashes 2025 series 🤔🏏 Australia was looking good but now they're in trouble 😬. I mean, Smith's struggles with Jacks' delivery were just crazy to watch - he got all frustrated and stuff 🙄. But you know what? England's bowling has been on point all series, so I'm not surprised it worked out like this 💪. Still, I think Australia will try to mount a comeback... they've always been good at that kind of thing 😎. It'll be interesting to see how the match plays out from here 📊. Can England keep up their momentum or will Australia somehow pull off an epic win? 🤯
 
omg i was watching this game with my bff sarah and we were both screaming at the tv like total idiots 😂 she was so salty for australia but i have to admit that will jack's delivery was SICK 🔥 i've got a cousin who lives in melbourne and he's been following this series on social media and he was going mental after smith got out lol my sister's friend is actually an Aussie cricketer and she's been saying that england's bowlers have just been getting better and better 🤩 anyway back to will jack's over - i'm literally shaking with excitement 💥
 
This is getting intense 🤯, reminds me of 2019 Cricket World Cup final when India was on top, thought they had it in the bag but then Jofra Archer took over 🔥. Smith's struggle against Jacks just highlights how one player can make all the difference in a match. Its like Bush vs Rudd, one moment you're in control and next your world is crumbling 🌪️. England's bowling now needs to keep their momentum going or they might fall apart too. Can't underestimate Australia's spirit though 🐨, they'll try everything to turn this around 💪
 
I feel bad for Steve Smith 😔, he's been having a tough series so far. That delivery from Will Jacks was insane 🔥! I mean, you can't script that kind of drama in cricket 🤯. Smith's always known for his cool head under pressure but even he looked stunned by that one 😮. It's gonna be interesting to see how Australia bounce back from this. They've got some quality batsmen like Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne who can turn the game around 🔀. England's bowling has been on point so far, but you never know what happens in Test cricket 🎯. Maybe Smith will rise above this setback and lead his team to a dramatic comeback 💪? The suspense is killing me! 😅
 
man what a delivery from Jacks he totally got Smith out cold I'm loving the Aussie team's chances are taking a hit with 3 top batsmen already out now they need a miracle to win this one 🤯🏴‍☠️. I think we'll see some big collapse from Australia, their batting is always so inconsistent when it comes under pressure 👀. England's bowlers are having the time of their lives right now 😂
 
omg what a game changer for england 🤯 australia's chances of winning just got smashed smith is literally stunned 😂 and they're already in trouble with 92-3 and still need 68 runs lol what's gonna happen next?? is this gonna be another english domination or are aussies gonna mount an epic comeback? 😅
 
omg what a turn of events for aus 🤯 that delivery from jacks was insane!!! smith's gotta be so frustrated right now 😅 i think england's got this one in the bag now 💪 but you never know with australia, they can stage an incredible comeback like they always do 🙌
 
I think Smith got served 😂 by Jacks' delivery! That last over was insane! I'm loving how England's bowlers are stepping up their game 🙌. Can't wait to see if Australia can make a comeback 👀. One thing for sure, it's gonna be an intense finish 💥. Who else is thinking that? 😄
 
man, what a ball! 🤯 that delivery from Will Jacks was insane... smith was so clutchless with his shot selection, i'm not even kidding 😂 it's like he was trying to make it easy for england. and now australia's in big trouble, 92-3 is just crazy, can they even mount a comeback at this point? 🤔 the aussies have been struggling all series, but you gotta give credit where credit is due - will jack's got some serious skills 💪
 
Ugh, I mean... it's pretty sad when a 12-run score from the Australian captain is enough to turn the whole game around 🤦‍♂️. Like, what are they even doing out there? You'd think Smith would have had a better plan by now, especially with England's bowlers on fire 🔥. This Ashes series has been a disaster for Australia so far, and it looks like things are only gonna get worse 🤕. And poor Jacks, must be having the time of his life on that pitch 😏. I'm not saying England is winning or anything, but at least they're playing some solid cricket these days 👍. Still feels like a fluke to me though...
 
I mean, what a twist 🤯! I was on the edge of my seat watching that, thought Steve Smith had it in the bag lol 😂. Poor guy just got outsmarted by Will Jacks, who's like Australia's own version of a ninja 🕵️‍♂️. The way he bowled that over was insane 🔥! I'm not surprised he left Smith looking all confused, tbh 😅. Now, can England keep the pressure on? Fingers crossed for some more thrilling cricket action 🏏💪

I'm still trying to understand how Steve Smith can have such a meltdown in front of us! 🤯 He was always the calm one but today he looked so rattled by that one delivery from Jacks 😂. I mean, Australia's in a tough spot and it looks like they might not be able to recover from this. Poor bloke's just trying to do his job but sometimes you're on fire and sometimes you get roasted 🙄. What do you think is going through Steve's mind right now?
 
🤯 what a delivery!!! I mean i've seen some magic from these english bowlers but this one takes the cake! smith was already struggling and that over just sealed his fate 😅. jack's got some serious skills, gotta give it to him. now aussie's in a tough spot, can they bounce back? 🤔
