Former Australian skipper Steve Smith etched his name deeper into cricketing folklore, becoming the highest run-scorer among overseas players in Test matches at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground. The milestone came during the ongoing ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Final against South Africa on Wednesday.

The 36-year-old right-hander compiled a composed 66 off 112 deliveries, striking 10 boundaries in a trademark display of class and control. With this knock, Smith’s tally at the ‘Home of Cricket’ now stands at 591 runs from six matches and 10 innings, at an imposing average of 59.10. His record at Lord`s includes three half-centuries and two centuries, with a highest score of 215.

By surpassing this mark, Smith overtook notable legends, including fellow Australian Warren Bardsley (575 runs in 5 matches), West Indies great Garry Sobers (571 runs in 5 matches), Don Bradman (551 in 4 matches), and Shivnarine Chanderpaul (512 in 5 matches) to become the most prolific visiting batter at Lord’s.
