Former Aussie captain Smith made just 22 in the first innings, but things got even worse in the second. He had just two runs to his name when he was caught by Ben Duckett off the bowling of Moeen Ali, and England wicketkeeper Bairstow appeared to enjoy the moment. Bairstow himself had been caught by Smith for 12 during the morning session as England made a slow start. Whether this played into his response to Smith's dismissal is unclear, but the stump mics picked up the back-and-forth. "See ya Smudge!" Bairstow said as Smith hung his head. The Australian didn't take it lying down, raising his voice to his opponent and saying "What was that mate? Hey!" "I said cheers, see ya later,' was Bairstow's reply. With opener David Warner also falling cheaply, the wicket kept England's hopes alive in the third test. Yorkshire's Bairstow, playing on his home ground, claimed the catch to send Smith packing in the first innings. He also helped dismiss the in-form Usman Khawaja second time around, as he looked to make up for his own disappointing dismissal at Lord's in the second test.

He had strayed out of his crease, seemingly under the assumption that the ball was dead, only for opposite number Alex Carey to hit the stumps and leave England in trouble. A number of current and former players gave their verdicts on the incident, with some feeling the wicket - while correctly given by the letter of the law - was not in the spirit of the game. Many of those to voice concern were English. but former Aussie b){kind=link}
