Yashasvi Jaiswal fought a lone battle, scoring 84 runs before a controversial dismissal saw him depart without touching the triple-digit score for the second time in the match.

- 10:01 (IST)India vs Australia 4th Test, Day 5 Live: Travis Head Continues As Final Session BeginsQuite an unexpected move from Pat Cummins to make Travis Head bowl the first over of the final session of the day. The commentators were expecting the Aussie skipper to bring himself in the attack to start the post-Tea session. A strange call.
- 09:41 (IST)India vs Australia 4th Test, Day 5 Live: Labuschagne Into AttackAnother strange move by Pat Cummins as Marnus Labuschagne is introduced into attack. At the speed of 120-125kmph, Lauschagne tries to bowl a few bouncers to Rishabh Pant. No help though. It's TEA.IND 112/3 (54 overs)
- 09:32 (IST)India vs Australia 4th Test, Day 5 Live: Terrific Recovery From IndiaWe are on the cusp of the end of the second session and the Pant-Jaiswal pairing has remained unscathed.

The wicket-keeper batter copped a painful blow on the shoulder through a Pat Cummins bouncer. But, this is what the need of the hour is. The asking run-rate has gone up to 5.50 now. Doesn't look like India are going for the win now.IND 99/3 (48 overs)

- 08:58 (IST)IND vs AUS 4th Test, Day 5 Live: Cummins Going The Bumrah WayThe required run-rate remains around 4.50 as India near 100-run mark.

Pat Cummins fulfilling the same role Jasprit Bumrah did yesterday, bowling the most, from different ends, as Australia search for the 4th Indian wicket.IND 93/3 (43 overs)

- 08:31 (IST)IND vs AUS 4th Test Live: New Bowling Pairing From AustraliaNathan Lyon and Pat Cummins into the attack as Jaiswal-Pant begin to form a promising partnership.

- 08:23 (IST)India vs Australi 4th test, Day 5: Bails Switched Again As Pant-Jaiswal Orchestrate A PartnershipMitchell Starc looks to unsettle the Indian duo by switching the bails at the non-striker's end again. Rishabh Pant, who was at the non-striker's end, decided to not change them again. Instead, he had a small chat with his partner Yashasvi Jaiswal.IND 65/3 (35 overs)
- 08:14 (IST)India vs Australia 4th Test Live: Another Bail Switch EpisodeThe bail-switch episodes continue in Australia. Mitchell Starc swapped the two bails at the non-striker's end but Yashasvi Jaiswal changed it again, leaving the commentators in splits. The superstitions continue at MCG.

- 07:48 (IST)India vs Australia 4th Test, Day 5 Live: 2 Boundaries In Same Over From JaiswalA boundary after quite a while for Yashasvi Jaiswal. Brilliant late cut to find the boundary.

- 07:39 (IST)
- 07:21 (IST)India vs Australia 4th Test Live: Onus On Young Guns To Save IndiaIt is going to take some effort if India are to save this Test from here. Victory seems all but out of question already.

- 06:55 (IST)IND vs AUS 4th Test, Day 5 Live: Kohli Showing Disciplined ApproachVirat Kohli literally not touching any delivery that is bowled outside the off-stump.

- 06:46 (IST)India vs Australia 4th Test, Day 5 Live: Cautious India Pull HandbreakThere just doesn't seem to be an intent from India to win this match at the moment.
