<\/p>\nSteve Smith has been warned by umpires after being involved in another verbal exchange with the Bangladesh players. <\/p>\n
In the ninth over of Australia\u2019s batting innings on day one, Taskin Ahmed struck Smith\u2019s pad, sparking a big appeal and a potential review after umpire Nitin Menon shook his head.<\/p>\n
Taskin urged his skipper to review the decision but ultimately Najmul Hossain Shanto opted against it \u2014 despite Smith\u2019s comments encouraging him to send the delivery upstairs.<\/p>\n
