Steve Smith didn't take the field in the evening after initally batting on having been hit by an Anrich Nortje delivery
Steve Smith is undergoing concussion assessment after being struck on the helmet by an Anrich Nortje delivery during Australia's Test against South Africa in Durban. Smith ducked into a short ball early in his second innings, which marked his helmet and required an immediate replacement. Although cleared to bat on, he did not take the field for South Africa's fourth innings.
Under Cricket Australia guidelines, Smith faces a minimum 24-hour stand down if diagnosed with a concussion, ruling him out for the final day. Australia set South Africa 421 to win following a declaration at 6-314.
