Steve Smith is ruled out lbw after the DRS shows the ball clips leg stump by the slimmest possible margin. All three outlets report that the decision comes from an ultra-tight indication that the ball would have hit the stumps, despite the close call.
The reports describe the outcome as “barest of margins,” emphasizing how minimal the difference is between impact and missing the wicket. While the accounts do not add further match context, they consistently attribute the dismissal to the same piece of technology and the same specific justification: ball tracking indicating clipping of the leg stump.
Across the sources, there are no reported disagreements about the ruling itself. The only shared focus is that the decision is confirmed by DRS and that the deviation from a clean miss is extremely small, leading to Smith’s dismissal.
