KL Rahul’s vigil has been cut short, he batted really nicely but he misses out on another hundred. Flatter length delivery just outside off, Rahul pressed back looking to slash it away through point, was just that touch quicker and straighter which meant it took a thick outside edge. It flew rapidly to Smith’s right, outstanding reactions from him as he flung himself to his right and plucked it out with one hand. That was nearly past him when he caught it.
