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.
