However, Smith was all focussed on the job at hand and watched the ball till the last minute. In fact, it is imperative for a batsman to know where his off-stump to successfully leave the ball and Smith is one of the best Test batsmen of the current generation.

Smith is still unbeaten on 13 runs after facing 40 balls with the help of two boundaries. On the other hand, Smith’s partner Matthew Wade is yet to get off the mark.
