IND vs AUS 4th Test Day 5 LIVE: Bumrah opened his/her claws… Australia gave India a target of 340 runs

India vs Australia Live, 4th Test Day 5: Today is the last day of the ongoing fourth Test match between India and Australia. Australia has tightened its grip on the Boxing Day Test match being played in Melbourne. If Team India has to win this test then it will create history. Melbourne’s history has been that a score of more than 332 has not been chased till date. Therefore, India will have to perform incredibly to achieve the target. Victory is still not impossible for India but for this it will expect good performance from its senior batsmen and Rishabh Pant. With the excellent batting of the lower order, Australia tightened the noose on the match by scoring 228 runs for 9 wickets in the second innings on the fourth day, taking its total lead to 333 runs. Australia took a lead of 105 runs on the basis of first innings.

Australia’s number 8, 10 and 11 batsmen batted around 35 overs and if the Indian batsmen do not perform brilliantly on the last day, then this performance of the host team’s lower order could prove to be decisive. Indian bowlers missed the opportunity to keep the team’s upper hand in the final session. However, Bumrah was also unlucky when he/she could not take the fifth wicket in the innings in the form of Nathan Lyon as his/her leg went out of the crease while bowling and it became a no ball. Lokesh Rahul then took the catch in the slip. Labuschagne played a very aggressive innings but India suffered more losses due to Yashasvi Jaiswal dropping three catches.
