Smith was so far ahead that he did not even try to stop the ball.
Akash Deep came to bowl in the 115th over of the Australian innings on the second day. Akash bowled a short pitch ball on the very first ball of the over. Seeing Smith moving forward, he pulled the length of the ball back. Smith tried to play Akash's short-pitch ball by moving forward. The ball hit his bat-pad and then hit the wicket.

Its video has also surfaced.
