KL Rahul's brave 84 came to a close with a stunning catch by Steve Smith, as he and Ravindra Jadeja valiantly fought back on the fourth day of the third Test in Brisbane on Tuesday.

With India needing 245 to avoid the follow-on, the score stood at 167-6 at lunch, with Jadeja still at the crease on 41 and Nitish Kumar Reddy on seven. Rahul had been fortunate earlier, with Smith dropping him off the first ball of the day. However, Smith quickly redeemed himself with a brilliant one-handed, diving catch at first slip just 20 minutes before lunch, leaving Rahul just 16 runs shy of a well-deserved ninth Test century.
