England's bowlers have t succeeded in getting Steve Smith early on in entire series and refore, English wicket-keeper Jonny Bairstow decided to try his luck in getting rid of stylish Australian batsman but, it was t an ideal dismissal by any means. It happened on fourth ball of 30th over which was bowled by Jofra Archer, on that delivery, Matw We after driving ball down ground decided to take three runs quickly. neless, when Steve Smith was returning back to striker's end, Jonny Bairstow pretended to collect ball. Seeing this, Smith put in a full-length dive and got back to crease safely. Unfortunately, it was a needless dive from Steve Smith as throw was never me at keeper's end and in fact, was me at bowler's end.
