Jonny Bairstow's cheeky parting shot to Steve Smith after Australia batsman gets out cheaply

Jonny Bairstow had some fun at Steve Smith's expense as the Australia batsman fell early in his country's second innings during Friday's third Ashes test.

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.
