Steve Smith | GettyAustralian batter Steve Smith is known for his unwavering concentration on the pitch. He is known for digging his heels in and playing long innings and his focus is something that is rarely broken despite whatever goes on the ground.

However, on day one of the third Test between Pakistan and Australia in Lahore, something finally broke Steve Smith’s concentration and that was the constant movement of the buggy cam alongside the boundary ropes.

The incident took place in the 11th over when Steve Smith expressed displeasure at the roving ‘buggy cam.’ At that moment, Australia was reeling at 34 for 2 with Smith and Usman Khawaja were trying to negotiate the opening burst from the Pakistan pacers.

Smith was seen complaining to the umpires about the movement of the cam which he could see from his peripheral vision and was even seen in conversation with Khawaja as well.

PCB shared a video of the incident as well with the caption reading: “The buggy sends its apologies @stevesmith49.”  

Meanwhile, after the first two Tests ended in a draw of contrasting differences, the third Test in Lahore saw Australia captain Pat Cummins winning the toss and choosing to bat first. Australia went in unchanged, while Pakistan included Naseem Shah in place of Faheem Ashraf.
