Australia batsman Steve Smith says he is "shocked and disappointed" at allegations that he deliberately scuffed up the crease during the final day of the third Test against India. Smith denied accusations he was deliberately removing the marks used to guide India's batsmen at the crease.

The former captain was seen on the stump camera scraping the crease with his boot during a drinks break.

When not out batsman Rishabh Pant returned to the crease, he had to ask the umpire for his guard again.
