IND vs AUS, 2nd Test Highlights: India Bounce Back From Adelaide Loss In Style To Level Series
India vs Australia Test Live Cricket Score: India beat Australia by eight wickets at the Melbourne Cricket Ground to level the four-match series at 1-1.
India defeated Australia by eight wickets to win the second Test match on Day 4 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground to square the four-match series. Youngster Shubman Gill once again showed his class in the second innings with a fine batting display. He registered an unbeaten knock of 35 runs from 36 balls to help his side get the much-needed victory. Gill's knock also consisted of seven fours. Earlier on Day 4, the visitors bowled out the Australians for 200, with the hosts setting a paltry target of 70 runs. Despite losing two early wickets of Mayank Agarwal and Cheteshwar Pujara, stand-in captain Ajinkya Rahane made sure that there wasn't a repeat of the Adelaide collapse, and helped Gill wrap up the proceedings with ease. Test debutant Mohammed Siraj was the star bowler for India in the second Test, registering a total of five dismissals. With both sides level at 1-1, the third Test match begins on January 7 and is scheduled to be held in the Sydney Cricket Ground. But a rise in coronavirus cases in Sydney could see a change in venue for the third Test. (SCORECARD)
2nd Test, Day 4 Highlights Between Australia (AUS) vs India (IND), Straight From Melbourne Cricket Ground
Labuschagne sends a full delivery, outside off. Rahane drives it through the gap at cover. It was going to be a boundary but was stopped at the last moment. Three runs. India need one more run to win the match!
Ashwin sends his carrom ball, at off stump on a good length. Starc tried to flick it, but it hits his knee. Umpire confirms there is no inside edge on it. Nothing on HotSpot. Its umpire's call on hitting and Starc survives. India retain their review. Tracking showed that it clips the bails.
Siraj sends a short delivery at middle stump. Hazlewood sends it into the leg side. Siraj does the fielding and throws it at the non-striker's end. At mid-on, Ashwin misses it completely. Five runs!

Siraj sends a short delivery, and its quick. Lyon receives it at the height of his hips and gets a glove. Pant does the rest. Also, Siraj gets his fifth wicket in his Test debut. In comes, Josh Hazlewood.
OUT! Cameron Green c Ravindra Jadeja b Mohammed Siraj 45 (146)
Siraj sends a short length delivery. Green tries to attack it and he pulls it. It goes big, but not enough. Jadeja grabs it at midwicket. Australia have lost their last big fish now!
