Steve Smith once again underlined his importance to Australia’s line-up after scoring a hardworking 59 in difficult conditions in their first innings in the third Test against Pakistan.
Australia batter Steve Smith has been in fine form for the team in the ongoing tour of Pakistan. After playing knocks of 78 and 72 in the first and second Test in Rawalpindi and Karachi, respectively, Smith registered yet another 50+ score in the first innings of the ongoing third and final Test at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Despite failing to reach triple figures so far in the series, Smith scripted a huge record with his knock of 59 in the first innings. Smith, who took his tally of runs to 7,993, surpassed former Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara, who had scored 7,913 runs after 150 Test innings.
Pakistan have a knack of producing quick bowlers who can run through the defences of the opposition batters. In the ongoing third Test against Australia at the Gadaffi Stadium, Lahore, Naseem Shah and Shaheen Shah Afridi were at their scintillating best as they caused the Australian batters all sorts of problems. Naseem Shah and Shaheen took four wickets each as Australia was bundled out for 391 in the first innings on Day 2.
