R Ashwin gives verdict after umpire Nitin Menon's controversial Steve Smith call draws boos during 5th Ashes Test

Hindustan Times  

The second day of the fifth Ashes Test turned out to be an attritional affair with Australia choosing to blunt out the England attack and ending up with a 12-run lead. It was some lower order effort that pushed Australia past England's total and talismanic batter Steve Smith is the one who led it. Menon's decision was initially met with boos Smith had tapped Chris Woakes to midwicket off the third ball of the 78th over and went for a rather ambitious second run. However, third umpire Nitin Menon went through a few more replays and deemed that by the time the bails had been completely dislodged from the stumps, Smith's bat had crossed the crease. This was also reflected in comments on social media, while most were mocking Menon in the moments after the decision was made, he eventually started getting appreciation, including from star India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin.
