India vs Australia 4th Test Day 5 Highlights: AUS beat IND by 184 runs, take 2-1 lead in Border-Gavaskar Trophy

India vs Australia 4th Test Day 5 LIVE Score: Just how do you deal with that? Well Jaiswal probably showed the one way you can play an over like that which is see the ball fizz past your outside edge and then breath a sigh of relief. He is beaten on the second, fifth and sixth balls, all of them pitching full just outside off, forcing the batter to play and leaving him late. Jaiswal also leaves a ball that darts in and goes just over his middle stump fourth delivery. Batting in Test cricket is not for the faint hearted. Jaiswal on 2 off 13, Rohit yet to get off the mark after facing five balls.

India 2/0 in 3 overs

India vs Australia 4th Test Day 5 LIVE Score: Oh for the millionth time in this Test match, an edge doesn't carry. Back of a length from Cummins to end the second over, Rohit pushes at it but the ball nips away late. It is edged to second slip, but reaches Smith after a bounce.

India 2/0 in 2 overs

India vs Australia 4th Test Day 5 LIVE Score: Jaiswal leaves the first two balls, then plays at the third but it is a peach from Starc. Late movement away and Jaiswal is beaten. Jaiswal gets thick inside edge to square leg on a drive fourth ball, then he tucks away a yorker to square leg for a single. Rohit then defends the last ball to gully.

India vs Australia 4th Test Day 5 LIVE Score: Right not too much time wasted in the turnaround. This incredible Test goes into its final leg. It will be interesting to see how these Indian openers approach this and how long Rohit Sharma can last considering the horrid run of form he has been in. Jaiswal is on strike though, and Mitchell Starc is steaming in. India may have to face a maximum of just over 90 overs today.

India vs Australia 4th Test Day 5 LIVE Score: Bumrah stands and stares at Lyon for a few seconds before turning away after cleaning up the latter's middle stumps. The great man has another fifer. India have a target of 340 to chase, if they decide to give it a go. Well we will say a lot about India's batting for the rest of the day but let's take a moment for Jasprit Bumrah. This is the last we see of him in this Test and, as great as this match has been, it will be the poorer for it. This was full and straight, induces Lyon to drive but it nips back just that bit to take the spinner's middle stump.

India vs Australia 4th Test Day 5 LIVE Score: The second ball was edged off Boland through the slip cordon for a four. Then a leg bye off the last ball. And so the last-wicket stand carries on but here comes Jasprit Bumrah, which really makes the innings a different Test match every time.

Australia 233/9, lead by 338 runs

India vs Australia 4th Test Day 5 LIVE Score: Well this is quite unusual. Australia have decided to let India dismiss them, no declaration. And so Scott Boland is on strike to Mohammed Siraj. He is on 10 off 65 balls, Nathan Lyon on 41 off 54 balls.

Australia 228/9, lead India by 333 runs

India vs Australia 4th Test Day 5 LIVE Score: Sunil Gavaskar says that it is now a very good pitch for batting. “Pitch looks very very good still. This is a pitch that has been rolled out nicely, grass is gone, no devils on the pitch at all. India shouldn't have much problems if they apply themselves,” he said on Star Sports.

India vs Australia 4th Test Day 5 LIVE Score: That was perhaps the greatest praise Konstas could've got on debut. He had left India a ragged bunch and was cajoling the crowd throughout their innings. Bumrah doesn't usually celebrate his wickets enthusiastically and the fact that an all-time great was thrilled to get you out should be a huge boost for a 19-year-old.

India vs Australia 4th Test Day 5 LIVE Score: The MCG is a picture today. One of the two teams who will play in the WTC Final this year was decided by an absolute thriller of a Test match yesterday. Considering how the Border-Gavaskar Trophy has gone, be very surprised if you are not surprised by what happens today.

India vs Australia 4th Test Day 5 LIVE Score: Bumrah has been in the kind of form that puts him in the same bracket as some of the all-time greats. Conversely, the rest of the Indian bowlers have been woefully short of form, with yesterday probably being the best day Mohammed Siraj has had. Bumrah has bowled 52 overs in match so far. Meanwhile, India's 5th and 6th bowlers have combined bowled 27 overs in this match and have picked only 1 wicket for 81 runs.

India vs Australia 4th Test Day 5 LIVE Score: There was some time l on Day 3 due to rain which has led to Days 4 and 5 starting early. Today's play is scheduled to start at a very cricket time of 10.09am local time, which converts to 4.39am IST. Every minute counts.

India vs Australia 4th Test Day 5 LIVE Score: Marnus Labuschagne said in an interview after the day's play yesterday that Australia wanted to get a few overs at the end of Day 4 but were not happy with the amount of runs they had.

India vs Australia 4th Test Day 5 LIVE Score: When India returned to bowl for Australia's second innings after Nitish Kumar Reddy's epic knock yesterday morning, they made the MCG as hostile as it can be for a home batter. And leading that chorus was, no prizs for guessing, Virat Kohli. However, Kohli wasn't just chirping away. He was directing fielders and constantly in the ear of the bowler, unless it was Jasprit Bumrah of course. All of it seemed to be done with the blessing of Rohit Sharma, as he could be seen walking up to chat with the captain after almost every delivery. And well, why not. Kohli is arguably among the greatest Test captains India, or any team, has ever had. Regardless of what his batting form is, he just seems to get Test cricket in ways that few in the world do today.

India vs Australia 4th Test Day 5 LIVE Score: The last time a team chased down a target over 300 in a Test at MCG was before the Second World War. A look at the scorecard from that match played from December 29 to January 5 in 1929 shows that it may have been quite an epic, with England's second innings lasting a whopping 159.5 overs. The names on the two scorecards include some that now exist in cricket's folklore - Don Bradman, Wally Hammond, Douglas Jardine, Herbert Sutcliffe, Percy Chapman, Jack Ryder, and Harold Larwood, to name a few.

India vs. Australia 4th Test Day 5 LIVE Score: Test cricket has been played for more than a century at the MCG, and in all this time, no team has successfully chased a target as high as Australia's current lead. The highest succesfull chase of all time came in 1928 when England chased down a target of 332 with three wickets to spare.

India vs Australia 4th Test Day 5 LIVE Score: Something very rare happened yesterday. Rohit Sharma asked Jasprit Bumrah to take the old ball and end the pesky stand between Nathan Lyon and Scott Boland but the spearhead told him that he has nothing left in the tank. He was only talking about the old ball, of course, for Bumrah took the new cherry as soon as it became available for him and almost took the last wicket as well, only for it to be called a no ball as he had overstepped. He has been bowling like a god but late yesterday came a reminder that Jasprit Bumrah is human after all.

India vs Australia 4th Test Day 5 LIVE Score: Yashasvi Jaiswal is a reliable catcher in the cordon behind the stumps. This has been an established fact in his short career. Anybody who saw him for the first time yesterday, however, wouldn't believe you if even you said this to them while swearing on your nearest loved ones. And Rohit Sharma couldn't help but show his emotions at the second drop.

India vs Australia 4th Test Day 5 LIVE Score: South Africa sealed their place in the WTC Final in the most dramatic fashion. It leaves India and Australia as the main candidates to be the team facing them in the marquee one-off Test match.

India vs Australia 4th Test Day 5 LIVE Score: This name is being increasingly associated with perfection. A win for India has been improbable ever since the morning of the third day when Steve Smith went about plundering them for runs. And yet, for about half an hour yesterday, that looked like a real possibility. That was because Bumrah sent back Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh in one over and Alex Carey in the next. Australia suddenly found themselves down to their last four wickets with less than 200 on board. During that wicket burst, Bumrah became the first player to get to 200 Test wickets at a career average of less than 20. That's right. Think of Malcolm Marshall, Joel Garner, Dennis Lillee, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Curtly Ambrose, Courtney Walsh, Muttiah Muralitharan, Shane Warne, Anil Kumble, Ravichandran Ashwin; none of them averaged as low as Bumrah when they got to this mark.

India vs Australia 4th Test Day 5 LIVE Score: All things considered, the lack of a third frontline quick has hurt India here and it could ultimately turn out to be the root cause of why a win remains improbable for them today. With Bumrah, Siraj and Deep all looking so effective, one only wonders what Harshit Rana could've done yesterday.

India XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Rohit Sharma(c), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant(w), Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep
