Smith taps the third into the leg side before he blocks the next two and leaves the last ball.

Siraj comes back into the attack in place of Umesh. He starts with a short ball aimed at Head's head who awkwardly ducks under it as he seems to have misjudged it.

Another bouncer which Head pulls to deep midwicket for two runs.

Siraj not holding back as Head is struck on the helmet this time after missing the pull shot.

He undergoes the concussion test as the physio comes out. Siraj bowls another short ball as Head mishits the pull shot for a single.

Smith taps the last ball on the leg side for a quick single to bring up his fifty, from 144 balls.

Some encouragement for India as Shami gets the ball to swing away to beat Smith, who pushes away from his body.

Smith edges the next ball but it flies wide of the slips for two runs and he picks a single on the leg side.

Head pulls the last ball for another run to take his score to 98.
