Smith, Head take Australia past 100

June 07, 2023 18:30

Aus 116-3 (33 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Head plays a cracking punch off the backfoot but the fielder in the covers come up with a diving stop to save the boundary.

The next ball is full but on the pads as Head flicks it behind square on the leg side for a four.

Some width from Shami and this time Head cuts it uppishly to the vacant thirdman region for another boundary, to race to 27 from 16 balls with six fours.

Shami goes full and on the stumps as Head defends it back to the bowler and glances the last ball to fine leg for a single to retain strike.

Thakur is back into the attack in place of Siraj. Head gets a leading edge as he looks to clip the pacer but the ball falls wide of a diving Rahane at gully.

What a beauty from Thakur! The full delivery swings away quite a lot as Smith looking to drive is beaten all ends up.

He learns from his mistake next ball and leaves the next ball which is in a similar channel.

Smith ignores the next couple of balls before he pushes the last ball to point for a single.

Change of ends for Siraj as he takes over from Shami. He keeps it full and just outside the off-stump to Smith, who is quite watchful against Siraj's probing line and length.

Smith shuffles and flicks the pacer to midwicket but to the fielder and leaves the last two balls as Siraj sends down his third maiden over.
