IND vs AUS 4th Test Highlights: India lose Kohli, Jaiswal in quick succession, Australia on top again

Another wicket goes down and India are down and out!! Virat Kohli is OUT. He fiddled with the delivery outside the off-stump and Australia are dominating the Test match now!! 154/4. Just 5 minutes ago, everything was going fine for India. 100 partnership was up for the third wicket. A moment of madness from Jaiswal and then Kohli, deterred from the run-out incident, fiddled with a harmless delivery and clearly, Australia are bossing this game.

What has happened there? Yashasvi Jaiswal, what have you done? It was always going to be a risky single! At this stage of the match and the day, Jaiswal is run out and India have copped a massive blow. Just when the response from the visitors was looking extremely strong, He made 82 runs and India are three down!!

This has been a dogged effort from Yashasvi Jaiswal. Yes, the pitch hasn't done a lot but Jaiswal needed to dig in and has made a brilliant fifty and would be keen to convert it into a big one.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli have gotten the partnership going after the loss of KL Rahul's wicket. They have been patient and chosen the right balls to attack and leave. 

The Indian fans who have gathered at the MCG are rooting for Virat Kohli. The stage is set for the former India captain to get a big score. India are 59/2 after 18 overs.

India have lost a huge wicket of KL Rahul at the stroke of tea. Pat Cummins got the ball to move away just a touch and Rahul didn't cover his off-stump and had it shattered as Australia and Cummins have two wickets before the final session.

KL Rahul despite a change in batting number is batting like a dream in this series and continues to do so. Yashasvi Jaiswal has applied himself much better than the last two Test matches and these two have taken India's innings forward after Rohit Sharma's wicket.

Rohit Sharma is not working in Test cricket anywhere in the order. Neither at No 6 nor at the top of the order as a half-hearted pull off Pat Cummins was handed straight to the short mid-on and India have lost an early wicket once again. Change in KL Rahul's, India's best batter in this series, position for what?

Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has returned to the top of the order after batting at No 6 in the last couple of Test matches. It was one of the flattest bowling sessions for India and the fans will hope that the batters show a bit more positive intent.

The wicket has eased out a bit, so that's definitely a good sign but India need to bat well.

Jasprit Bumrah has the last laugh as Australia have been bowled out for 474. Australia have added 163 runs on the second day and India face a monumental task of first saving the follow-on and then maybe challenge the hosts, which at the moment looks quite tough.

Steve Smith has finally been removed for 140 by Akash Deep as India picked up both the set batters quickly in succession but Australia with more than 450 runs on the board have a firm grip over the match.

Ravindra Jadeja has gone past Mitchell Starc's edge and has cleaned him up as Australia lose their eighth wicket. Jadeja gets his third.

Australia have gone past the 450 mark and now are really calling the shots in the ongoing MCG Test match. Steve Smith is past his century and looks very good as India still chase those three wickets at lunch on Day 2.

Australian captain Pat Cummins has thrown it away as Ravindra Jadeja has struck. Cummins, batting on 49, wanted to get to his fifty with a big hit and Nitish Reddy running from long-off has done well to cover the distance and be able to grab the ball. 

Australia - 411/7 (105 overs)

Steve Smith has genuinely found his hands as he has smashed a century in back-to-back Tests, first in Brisbane and now at the MCG. This one was more Smith-esque, chanceless, in control and he has the Indian bowlers in his grasp, he knows it. Meanwhile, Australia have also crossed 400 and are absolutely crushing it.

Not much an update as India have gone wicketless for the first hour. Smith and Cummins have brought up a half-century stand. India need to find ways to get wickets, quickly.

India have gone searching for wickets in the first half an hour but it's been all Australia so far. There have been oohs and aahs but nothing has threatened to make the batters think. India need to break this partnership quickly.

The Indian players were visible sporting black armbands as they paid tribute to the former India Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, who breathed his last at AIIMS in Delhi on Thursday, December 26. Singh died at the age of 92 after battling a long illness.

Melbourne has been overcast overnight and a bit windy to start off on Friday. However, the sun is coming out now and we should be starting on time. The pitch will remain good for bowling once again but it will get better for batting. Hence, with the newish ball, India would aim to fold Australia below 370-380. The first hour is very crucial for the visitors, otherwise it could be another long Test match at the MCG.

India have come into the Boxing Day Test with the series poised at 1-1 largely due to one man, Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah kept India in the game once again after Australia had a couple of big partnerships. India went in with a different combination with multiple all-rounders... so what are other bowlers doing?

Steve Smith always finds a way to score and strike back form against India. That fighting, grinding knock at the Gabba gave Smith confidence and the Test great looks good to get back-to-back tons, unless India rather Jasprit Bumrah deny him that opportunity.

Welcome to our live coverage of the second day of the fourth Test between India and Australia from the MCG. If the opening day was any indication, we have a cracking Boxing Day Test on the horizon. Australia are slightly ahead but they haven't run away with the game and India will be keen to wrap the hosts' innings up quickly on Friday morning in Melbourne.
