Watch: Perfect Plan of Pakistan, In the third test, Babar Azam's Sharp Catch Traps Australia's Steve Smith
A superb fielding placement from Pakistan cricket team 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 before he could get the ball past Babar. The Pakistani star showed good reflexes at short extra cover and timed his jump to perfection to take the catch.
Watch it here.
Josh Hazlewood bowled a three-wicket maiden to put Australia into a potential winning position over Pakistan in an absorbing third Test in Sydney on Friday.
The visitors looked to have the edge after dismissing Australia for 299 to take a first-inning lead of 14 on the back of an inspired 6-69 from Jamal.
In a superb four-wicket spell after tea, Jamal first had Mitchell Marsh caught at mid-off by Shan Masood for 54.
