🏏Australia vs. India: 3rd ODI at Rajkot on 27/09/2023 D/N🏏 - Page 24

31.2 Siraj to Smith, FOUR, mid-on up, so Smith takes the aerial route hits a lofted on-drive for one bounce four. Calculated hit

31.3 Siraj to Smith, out Lbw!! Smith given out LBW, he discusses the review with Marnus but decides that is out and walks off without opting for the review. Siraj angled this length delivery in, almost a straight ball, Smith probably lost concentration as he tried to flick across the line, missed and impact was in line with off stump. Smith lbw b Siraj 74(61) [4s-8 6s-1]

Siraj to Smith, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

Damnn!! I refreshed and again its four

Drinks. Is there a way back for India here?

Are they going for a 500?

Alex Carey, left handed bat, comes to the crease

Siraj to Smith, OUT

Loud appeal for lbw and the umpire's finger is up in a jiffy! And, Smith is not reviewing. That looked adjacent from the get-go. Skiddy length ball on off, he gets across looking to flick it across the line, misses and that was always going to hit the stumps. The impact was the key, but once the umpire gave it out, Smith decided not to review. Success for Siraj, and he is pumped

Steven Smith lbw b Mohammed Siraj 74 (61b 8x4 1x6) SR: 121.31

Drinks. Australia have got a brilliant base for 400+. Top three players getting fifties and now they have two fresh batters to power them to a big total.
