Jofra Archer to Smith, SIX, 150.5kph and it flies for six. This is a short delivery but down leg, Smith gets inside the line, pulls and even though fine-leg is fine, it is well wide of him and flies into the crowd. Jofra Archer only has a wry smile on his face, for now Smith is winning this. No words from Archer this time as he turns back quickly to his mark. Meanwhile Smith makes some sort of gesture with his hand towards Archer, he is up for it - is Smith
