drinks. Steven Smith lbw b Shoriful Islam

Shoriful Islam to Steven Smith, out Lbw!! This is a massive wicket for Australia as Smith departs after looking set for a big score. Shoriful angles it across the right-hander and it straightens just enough for Kumar Dharmasena to rule it out. Smith walks across, looks to defend and misses. The ball sneaks past the inside edge and hits him on the front pad. It is Umpire's Call on both impact and wickets, so Smith has to make his walk back. He shakes his head as he leaves the field, while Shoriful is delighted with the dismissal. Players use this break to take drinks. Steven Smith lbw b Shoriful Islam 42(74) [4s-6]
