Over 40 runs put on by this pair now; annoying.

It was out.No; I think one bail out of it's groove is fine.

My understanding is that the ball has to be in his hand when he removes the bails. I don't think it has to be the ball that actually makes contact with the bails (the keeper's glove is okay?), but the ball has to be in that hand, not the other hand.
If the wicket is broken before the ball is in hand (this includes an overthrow scenario where the first throw hits the stumps), then a stump should be removed with the hand(s) holding the ball.
I've missed all this! Just caught the multishot angle they'd put together. Am I right that they couldn't tell quickly whether both bails were off before the batsmen made his ground? And that Bairstow had knocked one bail off before the ball arrived?

Pretty much. The third umpire was looking to see when the second bail was removed but Smith looked in to me, just.If the wicket is broken before the ball is in hand (this includes an overthrow scenario where the first throw hits the stumps), then a stump should be removed with the hand(s) holding the ball.

A decent knock for Smith, but save for his first-innings ton at Lord’s, this has been a comparatively disappointing series for him.

Looks like it was an impossible call within the 3rd umpire remit.

Curious place to be caught off a leading edge.
Maybe they want a shot at England tonight! 66 overs so far today? was the run out a long stoppage?
