Australia's Steve Smith credited a last-session breakthrough, including the dramatic run-out of Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal at the end of the second day's play as the turning point in the Boxing Day Test.

For some reason, with 20 minutes still left after Jaiswal’s exit, India had sent Akash Deep, who surprisingly didn’t last long after Boland’s well-directed short one at the body was stabbed to leg gully to cap a below-par day for him.

Sunil Gavaskar said that although it was a "risky single," Virat Kohli would have made his ground had he run on Yashasvi Jaiswal's call.
