Steve Smith, batting on 95, had hit Siraj for consecutive boundaries off the second and third ball of the over to get to his century.

The incident happened in the fourth ball of the over. Siraj proceeded with his runup to bowl to Smith, but Smith backed away in the last minute, citing some spider cam issues. However, Siraj did not take this well as he threw the ball at the stumps in frustration.
