Pakistan captain Shan Masood's superb fielding placement and Babar Azam's sharp catch at short extra cover helped the side dismiss Steve Smith.
A superb fielding placement from Pakistan captain Shan Masood and a sharp catch from Babar Azam helped the side dismiss Steve Smith in the third Test on Friday. Masood placed three fielders at covers and Mir Hamza bowled a fuller delivery outside off stump to invite Smith for a drive. The right-handed batter decided to loft the ball over the infield but fell into the trap as he could get the ball past Babar. The Pakistan star showed good reflex at short extra cover and timed his jump to perfection to take the catch.
