Will Jacks to Smith, out Bowled!! Wow! That's a lovely delivery from Jacks. A classic offspinner's dismissal. Smith is in disbelief. A flighted offbreak that lands on a length outside off and spins back in sharply. Smith is drawn forward into a defensive push and the ball spins through the gate to crash into the stumps.
