Twitter reacts as Steve Smith gets ruled out of the ongoing Test at Lords
Yesterday, Steve Smith got knocked down after getting a sickening hit on the neck by Jofra Archer's fiery bouncer. Before the start of day 5 game, Cricket Australia released a statement saying Smith woke up with a headache and a feeling of grogginess and cricket fans on Twitter reacted on the same.
Get well soon Smithy!
@stevesmith49 get well soon hope to watch you play in the third test 👍🏻

We all are gutted!
No Steve Smith on Day 5 and doubtful for the third Test. This is a big blow to Australia. Absolutely gutted #Ashes

Now, who'll save the Test for Australia?
Will be difficult to carry Bancroft and Warner in the third test without smudge to save the day #stevesmith #ashes

He cleared all tests yesterday!
How was Steve Smith allowed to bat again yesterday? Shocker

Huge advantage for England!
Don’t care what people say, no way Steve Smith should’ve been allowed to return to the crease yesterday after that blow to the neck. Huge advantage for us if he can’t play at Headingley either. #Ashes

No @stevesmith49 batting today gives England a great chance ... 55 overs could be enough to bowl the Aussies out on this pitch ... #Ashes #Lords

Interesting!
First ever concussion substitute:

In all cricket: Nick Larkin (replaced Daniel Hughes)
In first-class cricket: Jack Doran (replaced Jordan Silk)
In international cricket: Marnus Labuschagne (replaced Steve Smith)#Ashes
Major concern!
Under no circumstances should they have allowed @stevesmith49 to come out and bat again after that blow yesterday. Concussion and it’s after-effects are always felt after a period of time and the news of him feeling heavy and groggy overnight is a major major concern
