Siraj, Bumrah leave Aus in a mess!

November 25, 2024

Aus 28-4 (12 ovs); Target to win: 534 | Scorecard

Siraj keeping it full as Smith defends with a straight bat. The length ball kicks off quite sharply to beat the right-hander before he pulls the pacer for a single to fine leg.

Change in the bowling as Harshit Rana replaces Bumrah. Smith offers no shot to the first ball before he defends the next back to the bowler.

He mistimes the pull shot and is struck on the pads but the ball is going down. 

The last ball moves away enough to beat Smith on the outside edge to end a good first over on Day 4 from the debutant.

Width from Siraj as Head punches the pacer in the gap through the covers and has enough time to run four.

He nearly inside edges the next ball on to his pads before Head is struck on the pads off a full delivery.

The leg before shout is turned down but Siraj believes the ball has straightened as he convinces his captain to take the review.

The ball is clipping the outside of leg stump as the decision stays with umpire's call.

Head takes a single on the off-side and Smith blocks the last two balls.
