On Day 3, Australian veteran Steve Smith made headlines with his on-field actions. He paused the game, pointing out a tiny object on the sight screen that was distracting him. This incident, captured in a widely circulated social media video, occurred just before the 71st over, with ground staff promptly removing the object. Smith, who has openly discussed his ADHD and susceptibility to distractions, emphasizes the need for minimal interruptions to maintain his focus.
In the match, Pakistan set an initial total of 313 runs. Australia’s response summed up to 299 runs, featuring contributions from David Warner (34 runs), Usman Khawaja (47 runs), Marnus Labuschagne (60 runs), and Mitchell Marsh’s half-century. Pakistan, holding a slight lead, aims to set a challenging target in their second innings, making the task formidable for the Australian team.
