Lol smith gets hit in the plumbs, now has to watch multiple replays of it in slow motion
Smith hit fair and square in the box. LBW appeal turned down on review, too high, just.
Why on earth would you review that?

It was very, very close to being outâŚ
My first impression was that it was outside the line, but it was close. Not sure l would have reviewed it, with the ball hitting above the top of the pad.
What is going on with kohliâs fielding this tour, normally he is very good. Looks sloppy as hell

Kohli drops a sitter, hesitation and confusion reigns, Wade runs himself out. Maxwell in.

No it wasnât, missed by enough that from the naked eye you knew it wasnât out. Silly wasted review.
Meanwhile Wade is out in bizarre circumstances.
Expect better than that in third grade, awful cricket all round
It was not out by about 1 millimetre on review, about as close as you can get. Well worth the review to try and get Smith out.

Watch the replay again, missed by far more than 1 millimetre. But then you and I will never agree on anything.
Everyone including the commentators were saying âit literally has missed by a coat of varnishâ. It was very, very close to being out. A fair review.
Nope a stupid wasted review and you never ever quote the comms, they donât get a single thing right. They will call it out when a player has hit a six. Maybe you should be a commentator?
Maxwell chases a rubbish wide delivery and holes out with a healthy top edge at backward point. Just a cameo from him. Smith needs to bat out to the end.
Bit of a weak batting lineup, but if Henriques can do something and Stoinis can play one of his cameos we could still get a good score if Smith stays in.
I see youâre in one of your argumentative, grumpy moods again.
The commentators were just pointing out the obvious, that it was very, very close.
There was literally no gap between ball and stumps, about as close as you can get. As close as Iâve seen. They get 2 reviews to use, using one to try and get the skipper, which came very, very close to doing, was a good attempt under the circumstances.

blah blah blah as per usual
Smith out
We need to get at least 20 runs off the last two overs imo.
Weird how long the onfield ump (Paul Wilson) took to make that decision on Henriques.
This was Cricinfo:
" Henriques reviews a catch behind. Given very late by the umpire, presumably because India were celebrating before they appealed."
Stoinis goes for a single when we have 8 balls to go.
Excellent last over by Stoinis and Sams: 17 runs
5/194 is a pretty good score. Hopefully enough if we bowl well.
Sams opens the bowling. Good over, 5 off.
