England bowlers have done all the spadework to dismiss the right-hander cheaply but they have not been successful in the ongoing series.

On Friday, Jonny Bairstow gave Steve Smith a mighty scare when the Australian was sprinting for a run.

Bairstow positioned himself as if he was about to collect the ball, forcing Smith to dive full length to get back into the crease. However, the ball was nowhere near Bairstow and even Smith admitted that he had been successfully fooled by the English wicket-keeper.
