From Rohit Sharma shadow-batting like Steve Smith to Mohammed Siraj's maiden fifer - Moments from Day 4 at Gabba
Rain surely played spoilsport on Day 4 at the Gabba Test between India and Australia, but the entertainment at Brisbane could not be halted.

1.Back-to-back wickets
With 95 for no wickets to 123 for four down, Indian bowlers Shardul Thakur, Washington Sundar and Mohammed Siraj dismiss Australia's top batting order at Gabba.
While Thakur sent back Marcus Harris in the 24th over to give India the breakthrough, David Warner followed suit as he was dismissed by Washington Sundar.
Mohammed Siraj too did not disappoint as he sent back Marnus Labuschagne and Matthew Wade in the same over.
2.Rohit Sharma doing a Steve Smith
After Australian batsman Steve Smith came under the radar after he was seen removing Rishabh Pant's guard marks on the pitch while he shadow-batted at the crease, it was Rohit Sharma on Day 4 who was seen shadow-batting.
Just a few minutes before lunch, Rohit Sharma was seen shadow-batting on the pitch between overs and replays suggested that he did mosey on the footmarks around the crease.
While it looked the same as Smith's action, but Rohit Sharma's body language and the wry smile suggested he was mocking/teasing the Aussie batsman.
3.Steve Smith's half century
Steve Smith along with Cameron Green played contrasting knocks. Smith looked brutal and went for anything that was in his slot.
The right-handed batsman hit a quickfire half-century as Australia's lead went over 200, bringing up the fifty-run partnership between Smith and Green.
4.Mohammed Siraj's maiden five-wicket haul
Mohammed Siraj becomes the only Indian bowler this series to claim fifer as Australia set 328 runs target for India on Day 4 of the Border-Gavaskar trophy at The Gabba in Brisbane.
Mohammed Siraj was on fire, registering his maiden five-wicket haul as he sent back Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, Matthew Wade, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood
