AUS vs PAK: Steve Smith halts play due to tiny object on sight screen on Day 3

After winning the first two Tests of the ongoing series against Pakistan, Pat Cummins-led Australia is currently facing off against their opponents in the third and final Test match of the series. Both sides are facing each other from January 3 at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

With Day 3 of the clash rolling around, veteran Australian batter Steve Smith was at his very best with the antics on the field. The star batter brought the entire game to a halt after he spotted the tiniest of objects on the sight screen, which affected his concentration.

The incident happened right before the 71st over, and the groundsman was seen climbing up on the screen and removing the object in the video that has been doing the rounds all over social media.

It is worth noting that Steve Smith has spoken up about having ADHD quite a few times and that he is prone to getting distracted, which is the prime reason why he needs the least distractions possible so he can maximize his focus.

Australia look for a clean sweep against Pakistan

The Aussies are in a quite dominant position in their ongoing series against Pakistan; having won the first two games, Australia have already clinched the series. However, the same does not mean that they will not hope for a clean sweep.

The third Test began with Pakistan batting first and posting 313 runs on the board in the first innings. In reply, Australia managed to post a total of 299 runs. For the hosts, the innings began with David Warner and Usman Khawaja scoring 34 and 47 runs, respectively. Marnus Labuschagne added 60 runs on the board, and Mitchell Marsh completed his half-century as well. 

Still having the lead going into the second innings, Pakistan will hope to post a big total on the board and give the Aussies a tough target to chase down.
