Smith had earlier caught South African captain Temba Bavuma off Nathan Lyon before taking a spectacular diving catch off Pat Cummins to dismiss Bedingham for 49. The two wickets helped Australia put pressure on the hosts after Matt Renshaw’s marathon first-innings knock lifted the visitors to 390 all out.
Smith then took two outstanding catches. Bavuma was dismissed for three off 27 balls. The Proteas captain attempted a reverse sweep against Lyon, but Smith anticipated the shot, moved across at slip and completed an excellent reaction catch to give the spinner his first wicket.
