Ravindra Jadeja and Sai Sudharsan combined to grab a terrific relay catch and send the English wicketkeeper-batsman Jamie Smith packing at Headingley in Leeds on Sunday, June 22.
Smith came out to bat after the dismissal of his skipper Ben Stokes in the 65th over. He looked solid in the middle and batted brilliantly against the Indian bowling unit.
The wicketkeeper-batsman looked set to register a half-century against India, but his innings was cut short before he reached the milestone.
On the third ball, Prasidh Krishna bowled a short ball outside off-stump, and Jamie Smith went for a pull. He was not able to time his shot very well, and the ball went towards Ravindra Jadeja at deep square leg.
The terrific catch from the duo of Ravindra Jadeja and Sai Sudharsan dismissed Jamie Smith for 40 runs off 52 balls, with 5 fours and 1 six. Also, the partnership of 73 runs off 88 balls between Harry Brook and Jamie Smith was broken.

Conditions are good, conditions are fine - Stuart Broad
Speaking on Sky Sports ahead of the commencement of the play on Day 3, pace-bowling legend Stuart Broad said that the conditions in Leeds are good and the pitch is still very good. He elaborated:
"It's a really brilliant test match pitch, carrying through, not a lot of seam movement, but it has swung for the bowlers. There will be a bit of wear over the next coming days. I think certainly by day five it will begin to spin, which you'd think would be advantage India with them bowling last, but England's plan, what are they, 262 runs behind.
"They want to try and get as close as possible to put the Indian batting unit under pressure in the third inning. So we always call day three moving day in test match cricket. We'll know a lot more by tonight, but you know, Ollie Pope, Harry Brook, a bit ride on their shoulders in this first hour to make sure England get a solid start against what I would imagine a fired up Jasprit Bumrah in this first hour."
