Six runs. SIX! Gus Atkinson to Steve Smith. Back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, well timed in the air under control over deep square leg for 6 runs. What a shot! Steve Smith is pumped as Australia win by eight wickets and take a 2-0 lead in the series here at the Gabba. After a wicketless opening session, Australia came out firing in the second and picked up the remaining four wickets. Chasing 65, they cruised toward the target in just ten overs, though they did lose a couple of wickets to Gus Atkinson's quality bowling. England will need to quickly reassess and adjust their plans before the third Test in Adelaide to keep the series alive. Mitchell Starc is the Player of the Match.
