Mitchell Santner to Jason Smith
OUT! SMITH IS STUMPED! Mitchell Santner drifts one in and turns it away after landing around the off-pole. Jason Smith failed to read him in the first over and the struggles continued in the second over. Smith lunges but gets beaten on the outside edge and the ball is gathered fairly behind the stumps by Tom Latham, who breaks the stumps with the back foot of Smith on the line. The replay shows that no part of Smith's foot was behind the crease, and the line belongs to the umpire. OUT flashes on the giant screen.
