England lost their seventh wicket when Jamie Smith was dismissed for 15, caught behind off Brendan Doggett in the 27th over. The delivery down leg prompted a confident appeal from Alex Carey, and the on-field umpire Sharfuddoula gave it out immediately.

Smith began to walk but then stopped, only for Australia to send the decision upstairs. Replays showed a murmur on Snicko after the ball passed the bat, leading to confusion among players and the commentary team. Despite the timing of the spike, the third umpire ruled there was a clear deviation and upheld the on-field call.

Smith eventually walked off, visibly disappointed, as England slipped to 104/7, their lead at 144.
