Melinda Farrell and Dan Brettig react to the brutal ball from Jofra Archer that hit Steve Smith in the 2nd Ashes Test at Lord's. Smith was hit in the 77th over of Australia's first innings, he immediately fell to the ground and players from both sides rushed to Smith's aid. There have been questions from members of the media as to whether England players were seen laughing as Smith was being treated by a doctor.
