Travis Head continued as 'The Father of India' and Steve Smith scored his 33rd test century in a welcome return to form. Jasprit Burmah and KL Rahul had terrific performances at The GABBA and they need support of the other players in the line-up. Is Rohit Sharma in danger of getting dropped? Callum and Kartik discuss the key pointing and we preview Boxing Day!
