Day 4 End :
11 Indian Lions arrested by just one N Lyon.
Very very interestingly poised match.
All 3 ( even 4 ) results still possible .
But hosts are having a bit upper hand, with target beyond 300 now. Last 4 wickets added 137* runs and there by Team India lost the grip on the match.
At Stumps : Australia Lead : 333/9.
From 91/6 to 228/9 : Excellent Recovery.
200 Test wickets for Jasprit Bumrah ๐ฅ
No one in the history of Test cricket has reached the milestone with a better average than Bumrah’s 19.56!
Australia pressing for challenging total , bit beyond India to get ahead 2-1, in the series on day 5. Can India restrict and think of turning the tide in favour? Was the question at start of the day . Both teams fought fierce battle throughout the day, to gain control.
The 10th-wicket 100+ balls partnership between Lyon and Boland is now 55 runs ๐ฏ has given India a great concern.
( Lyon survived during last over - Caught Rahul ..but on No-Ball by Jasprit Bumrah).
From a 4-11 collapse, to a 55-run unbroken last-wicket partnership, quite a rollercoaster day 4 at MCG.

Sam Konstas is bowled out for 8 runs and now
Bumrah asks crowd to cheer up.
๐ฆ๐บ - 20/1 : 6.3 ov.
Pitch is excellent for batting.So Australia is expected to put up a good total again in second innings too , to challenge India and wrap up on , late fourth maybe and fifth day to make the series 2-1.
Indian 1st Innings:
Nitish Kumar Reddy has been the top-scorer for India in four of the five all-out innings in this series.
Only two men in Test cricket stood out as the top-scorer on four occasions in their first six innings before Reddy: Sunil Gavaskar and Harry Brook.
Reddy is also the first player to be top-scorer four times in his first six innings while batting at No. 7 or lower in men's Tests. (espncricinfo)
The final wicket stand doesn't last long ,for India added 11 runs in the morning, before Lyon got Nitish Kumar Reddy.
An exceptional partnership of 127 runs between Nitish Kumar Reddy and Washington Sundar guides India to a total of 369 in the first innings.
Reddy and quite steady:
His father walked so Nitish could run ๐
