“It was obviously a really good partnership to break that one. And then obviously get the two more wickets. It was a huge last hour for us. So, yeah, that was a big play in the context of the day, I suppose,” the former skipper said

Yashasvi Jaiswal's run out will be huge in the broader context of the fourth Test match as it also affected Virat Kohli's concentration, who till then looked good for a "masterclass", said Australia's batting hero Steve Smith on Friday.

"He [Kohli] was really disciplined today, he was leaving nicely, making the bowlers come to him a bit more and scoring well through the leg side and when we went short. So, yeah, I thought we were in for a bit of a masterclass there," Smith told reporters after Kohli was dismissed following Jaiswal's run out.

"It was obviously a really good partnership to break that one. And then obviously get the two more wickets. It was a huge last hour for us. So, yeah, that was a big play in the context of the day, I suppose," the former skipper said.
