FOUR! Good effort, but in vain! Full again and on middle, angling in, Steve Smith gets under it and drills it away past mid on. Brydon Carse chases after it and dives to push it back inside. Looks like he has done well, but the replay shows that the ball clipped his trailing leg when he was in contact with the boundary cushions. Another boundary.
