The pair were involved in a tense exchange on the final day in Brisbane as Smith led his side into a 2-0 lead at the Gabba.

The duo dished out verbals to each other in a passage that saw Archer crank his speeds past 93mph, but Smith had the final word as he hooked the seamer for six and then hit the winning runs off Gus Atkinson.
