Steve Smith might have left England bowlers worried with his form, but he was tricked twice by Jonny Bairstow in the ongoing fifth Test.

Earlier, Bairstow had made Australian batsman Smith dive unnecessarily and get his clothes dirty with a fake run-out attempt. This time, England's wicket-keeper batsman tried to do the same with his batting.

In the 66th over of England's innings in second innings, Bairstow was batting on 2 when he tried to sweep Nathan Lyon. But the ball wasn't in the line to play that shot. He changed his chance at the last moment. 

Smith, fielding in the first slip, anticipated the sweep shot and moved towards leg side only to find out he has been fooled again. Bairstow opened the face of the bat in the last moment to add a couple of runs towards third man region.
