New Delhi: Australia will not have the Decision Review System on the final day of second Ashes Test after wasting both the available reviews in three balls on Tuesday at Adelaide Oval.
After setting England a record 354-run target, Aussies got off to a good start by reducing England at 108/3. Then in the 42nd over, a Pat Cummins inswinger against Joe Root have everyone excited, with a shout for caught behind.
But the umpire Chris Gaffaney turned down the appeal, which forced Aussie captain Smith to call for a review. Well, it returned negative.
Two balls later, Josh Hazlewood trapped Dawid Malan in front, and another appeal, this time for an LBW. But umpire Aleem Dar remained unmoved.
Smith then went for the review. But the ball tracking showed it sailing over the middle stump.
Earlier in the innings, Australia used DRS to send back Alastair Cook.
