Twitter reacts to Jonny Bairstow's fake fielding to baffle Steve Smith
Going for the third run off a fuller delivery from Jofra Archer to Wade, Smith went ahead and put the extra effort even though it was not necessary for him to dive. Bairstow then bluffed Smith, faking a fielding, when the ball had already been collected by Archer! Twitter reacted on same.
Cheeky from Bairstow!!๐

The only thing he can do despite getting him out!
Bairstow tricking Smith into that dive is *easily* his biggest contribution of the series. Good spell this for both England and GIFable banters.

Bairstow tried to make G.O.A.T to become Sheep!
This is the most threatening Bairstow has looked all summer. https://t.co/OqlTa7p3DW

Hahahahaha! Even I was thinking the same!๐
Nonsense...Archer takes ball above his head, if he leaves it its one bounce to Bairstow, hes right to be ready...he doesnt dummy taking it hes backing up!

Very tricky!!
#bbccricket just watch Bairstow faking trying to stump Smith. Very funny, glad to see thereโs still humour in the game regardless of them winning the ashes....
