Australia is in a precarious position, needing a near-impossible target to win against India on a wearing pitch. Siraj and Bumrah are proving difficult for the Australian batsmen, while Smith's dismissal leaves the hosts with their work cut out.
Australia has five wickets remaining, but a near-insurmountable target to chase on a wearing pitch as India looks to wrap up a 1-0 series lead at Perth Stadium .Siraj bangs it in short and Head uppercuts him over Rishabh Pant and away for four.Head adds another single and moves to 46.Oh some extra bounce almost finds his bottom glove, but it's juuuuuust too low.
Smith takes a single off the first ball. I don't think Sundar will mind. I reckon he'd rather bowl to the leftie head.Wide and full, and crushed to the cover boundary by Head. Typically slashing a long way away from his body. Not afraid to play his shots. He slashes wide and the ball squirts behind point. Smith didn't get all of it — the bat twisted in his hands a bit — and the lush outfield means it's just two runs.Head goes the big attacking sweep shot and the ball balloons up behind square leg for a leg bye.
