When Steven Smith reminded the world of Shane Warne at Lord's

On Thursday, Queen Elizabeth met the Australian and English teams as she attended the first day of the second Ashes Test at Lord's.

England suffered early jolts but then Jonathan Trott and Ian Bell managed to stabalise the innings. Bell went on to create some magic as he scored three back-to-back 100s, a special achievement for the cricketer.

Steven Smith stole the show as play neared a close as he took three wickets in 22 balls and within a gap of 31 minutes.

The leg-spinner snapped Bell Jonny Bairstow who was Bell's longest standing partner in the innings and keeper-batsman Matt Prior.

The things common between Smith who is an all-rounder but rarely bowls and Shane Warne-the man whose spin bowling still casts a shadow on Australian bowlers is the fact that they both are blond and have a similar style.

In those 30 minutes Smith did what Warne had done on many occasions as he left the English team in disarray with his surprise spell that left fans and players stunned at Lord's.
