IND vs AUS, 3rd Test, Day 4 Highlights: India Lose Both Openers, Trail By 309 Runs At Stumps
India vs Australia Test highlights: In reply to the home side's target of 407 runs, the visitors put in a steady start but lost their openers on Day 4 of the ongoing third Test match, at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Australia were in complete control against India on Day 4 of the ongoing third Test match, at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). The visitors were 98 for two in 34 overs at Stumps on Day 4, after being set a target of 407 runs by Australia, who declared their second innings on 312/6. India will need to score 309 more runs on the final day to win the Sydney Test with eight wickets in hand. Openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill gave the visitors a fine start. The former registered a half-century, slamming five fours and a six. Meanwhile, Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane made sure there were no more setbacks after Rohit was dismissed soon after reaching his fifty. Pat Cummins continued with his fine form, registering the crucial wicket of Rohit while Josh Hazlewood got the better of Gill with a brilliant delivery. Earlier on Day 4, the Indian bowling department couldn't really find a way past Australia's batting order, leaking runs at regular intervals. Marnus Labuschagne (73), Steve Smith (81) and Cameron Green (84) scored half-centuries. Even, Tim Paine finally found some batting form, remaining unbeaten after scoring 39 runs. Navdeep Saini registered two wickets on Day 4, with Jasprit Bumrah and Ravichandran Ashwin notching a dismissal each. The visitors will be hoping to improve their display on Day 5 and do all they can to save the Test. (SCORECARD)
3rd Test, Day 4 Highlights Between Australia (AUS) vs India (IND), Straight From Sydney Cricket Ground
Hazlewood sends a length delivery, outside off, angling in. Pujara misses it and it hits him on the thigh pads. The Aussies appeal but Pujara reviews it. The review shows that it went over the stumps. Pujara is safe for now!
OUT! Shubman Gill c Tim Paine b Josh Hazlewood 31 (64)
Good delivery by Paine in the channel by Hazlewood. Gill gets an outside edge and it goes to the wicketkeeper. The umpire takes his time and Gill reviews it. There is a mark on HotSpot. OUT!
Hazlewood sends a length delivery, outside off. Rohit misses it, and it hits him just above the knee roll. Rohit reviews it. Nothing on HotSpot and Snicko. The ball tracker shows that it misses the stumps by a huge margin. He survives!
OUT!!! Cameron Green c W Saha b Jasprit Bumrah 84 (132)
A length delivery by Bumrah. It gets an inside edge of Green's bat and goes to Saha for a catch. Green pauses and reviews it. He is declared out and he leaves after an excellent T20-like knock!
Something is up at the square leg boundary. Rahane is with the umpire and even the players have gathered. Bumrah and Siraj had earlier alleged racism. Rahane and Siraj are pointing at one section of the stands and talking to the umpires.
