Thu Oct 24 19:21:30 UTC 2024: In the third Test against Pakistan, England wicketkeeper Jamie Smith’s score was officially adjusted from 91 to 89 after he was dismissed. Here are the key points:

– England captain won the toss and opted to bat first in Rawalpindi, where the pitch was expected to turn.
– Openers Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett provided a solid start with a partnership of 56 runs, but the team struggled in the middle overs, collapsing to 98-5 and then 118-6 due to bowlers Sajid Khan and Noman Ali.
– Smith played a significant role, displaying attacking batting that helped England reach 267 runs, being the eighth wicket to fall after scoring 91, caught behind off Zahid Mahmood.
– Shortly after his dismissal, it was revealed that one of Smith’s boundaries had been incorrectly marked as a six but was corrected to a four, leading to the deduction of two runs from his score.
– The adjustment was made after the event, clarifying that a shot hit off Sajid Khan had actually bounced before crossing the boundary.

This controversy adds an interesting twist to England’s innings in the Test match.
