India 26-0 (8 ovs) vs Aus; Target: 106 | Scorecard


Josh Hazlewood to kick off proceedings on Day 4 with Australia needing a miraculous performance with the ball to claim an unlikely victory.

India need just 87 runs for victory with all 10 wickets in hand.

The first ball is well pitched up as Vijay defends it with a straight bat and three balls later he is struck on the pads by an incoming delivery but the LBW appeal is turned down with the impact just outside the off-stump. The next ball is fuller and comes in and again Vijay is caught on the crease and hit on the pads but the inside edge saves him this time.

It's spin from one end as Steve O'Keefe starts off from the other end. KL Rahul turns the first ball on the leg side for one for the first run of the day and Vijay drives the next to long-off for another single.

The third ball is short as Rahul goes back and cuts but can't beat the fielder at point. The fifth ball hits the crack and turns sharply but keeps low as it beats both the batsman and the wicketkeeper and goes for four byes before Rahul turns it to fine leg for a single to keep strike.
