Cummins to Pant, out Caught by Smith!! Pant kicks the turf in frustration as he walks back. Loose shot, this. Full ball angling across off, line is just outside off but he is still looking to flick it away through midwicket. Gets a thick leading edge that flies to Smith at second slip and he takes a sharp catch above his head with the reverse cup. So Cummins breaks the partnership that was looking good for India. First wicket of the day for the Australian captain. Pant c Smith b Cummins 37(78) [4s-3 6s-1]
