India narrowly avoided the follow-on at the Gabba, ending Day 4 on 252/9 against Australia. KL Rahul's determined 84 and Ravindra Jadeja's crucial 57 anchored the innings after another top-order collapse. A late 39-run stand between Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep proved vital. Australia had earlier posted 445, with centuries from Head and Smith.
