• Smith not fit to play after suffering concussion at Lord’s
• Sports minister says booing of Smith is ‘distasteful’
Steve Smith has been officially ruled out of Thursday’s third Ashes Test at Headingley following the delayed concussion inflicted by a Jofra Archer short ball.
Australia’s premier batsman was struck on the neck while batting on day four of the draw at Lord’s and though he resumed his innings 40 minutes later – initial concussion tests were passed – the next morning saw Smith report headaches and dizziness.
