Live scorecard updates for today’s AUS vs IND match

IND vs AUS 4. Test Day 5, Live Result: Both Rishabh Pant (28) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (63) ensured that India did not lose a wicket in the session and helped India reach 112/3 at the tea break. Earlier, the hosts lost three wickets in the morning session as they scored 340 runs. Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli are the batsmen who need to be dismissed. Pat Cummins took two wickets while Mitchell Starc scalped Kohli just before lunch to reduce the hosts to 33/3. Jasprit Bumrah stopped Nathan Lyon in the second over to restrict Australia to 234 runs. Bumrah picked up another five-wicket win at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Nathan Lyon and Scott Boland made it 61 runs for the last wicket.

India needs 340 runs to win the Test as 2024 awaits a dramatic end for India and Australia at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground on Monday. The see-saw contest saw Australia lead for most of the contest before India caught up on the third day following Nitish Kumar Reddy’s hundred.

The captivating Jasprit Bumrah turned a quiet pitch into a minefield on Sunday, sending shivers over the Australian side and leaving them six behind at 91 in the second innings. The game was firmly back in India’s court before Marnus Labuschagne, making the most of Yashasvi Jaiswal’s comeuppance, put up an admirable fight alongside captain Pat Cummins.

Even with all four results in, a clear result is expected with WTC points at stake. Can Rohit Sharma strengthen the bat this time or will Cummins’ persistence prevail in Melbourne?
