But TV replays, and the ball-tracking technology, showed the ball would have clipped off-stump, which is the umpire’s call.

Next up was Shaun Marsh, whose half-century in the first-innings gave Australia a crucial 87-run lead. He padded up to a Umesh Yadav delivery which jagged back and umpire Nigel Llong immediately upheld the appeal for leg before.

Marsh had a long chat with Smith but Australia chose not to review as they had only one chance left. TV replays later showed the left-hander was struck outside off-stump and the ball would have clearly missed the stumps.

Indian skipper Virat Kohli had been under pressure after getting one review after another wrong, including his own dismissal in the second innings on Day 3 when it was not clear whether he got a bottom-edge before the ball hit the pads.

He won’t be complaining about the Aussie’s DRS dilemma.

Still, Australia were in with a fighting chance to clinch victory and go 2-0 up ahead of tea on the penultimate day.
