Brisbane, Australia: Pumped-up Australia captain Steve Smith and England fast bowler Jofra Archer had a fiery verbal clash near the climax of the second Ashes Test on Sunday at the Gabba.

The hosts won the day-night Test by an emphatic eight wickets in Brisbane to seize a 2-0 lead in the series.

Smith hit the winning runs including pulling Gus Atkinson for a huge six over square leg to finish the job in style.

His verbal joust with express paceman Archer shortly before that made for captivating viewing as they went head-to-head.

"Bowl fast when there's nothing going on, champion," stump mics captured Smith telling Archer.
