Umpire Sharfuddoula, who has been under fire for his poor umpiring, accidentally hit India pacer Mohammed Siraj on the head with the ball on Sunday, July 6.
On the fourth ball of the 53rd over of the final innings, umpire Sharfuddoula made a horrible LBW decision in favour of the India National Cricket Team.
Smith looked to play a pull shot, but he missed and was hit on the back thigh. After the appeal from the Indian players, umpire Sharfuddoula surprisingly raised his finger, and seeing this, Jamie Smith was shocked.
Moments after the not-out decision was displayed by the third umpire on the big screen, umpire Sharfuddoula lobbed the ball towards Mohammed Siraj, who dropped it, and it hit him on the head.

"Smith's been very good, to say the least. He's hit some exquisite shots, but most importantly, he's had an impeccable attitude under pressure. He came out, knew exactly what he wanted to do, and went about doing his thing in a very quiet, calm manner..Well done, Jamie Smith."
"England had done quite a bit of the hard work. Stokes, who hasn't spent a lot of time in the middle, was beginning to find his rhythm and the ball was getting soft.
Talking about the match, the England National Cricket Team are struggling at 242/8 in the ongoing match in Birmingham and they are still 366 runs away from winning. India would he looking to wrap up the innings quickly to make sure that the rain doesn't play spoilsport.
