India and Australia are currently duking it out in the World Test Championship (WTC) final at The Oval. The play continues on the second day as India made a fine comeback to bundle out Australia for 469 in their first innings. It was a good effort considering the way steve smith And Travis Head batted on the first day. Australia finished the day at 327/3 and things were looking ominous after Smith brought up his 31st Test century off the first two balls of the day’s first over.
It happened in the 86th over of the innings when Smith celebrated his achievement. However, things escalated very quickly as Mohammed Siraj did not look happy with the former Australian skipper’s last-minute exit. The incident happened in the same over when Siraj was bowling the fourth ball of the over.
Smith pulled his hand even when Siraj was about to give the ball citing disturbance from the stands. But the bowler didn’t seem happy at all as he threw the ball towards the keeper in frustration and the reaction surely left Smith stunned. He tried to explain the mess to Mohammed Siraj but he was in no mood to listen to him and signaled him to focus on the ball and not the stands.

As far as the match is concerned, Steve Smith got out after scoring 121 runs during his stay in the middle. After a few minutes of play, Siraj once again entered Smith’s ear and tried to hit his head. But Smith did not give up and batted well before being dismissed by Shardul Thakur.
