India vs Australia 4th Test Day 5 LIVE Score: IND seek inspiration in final comeback act in Melbourne
Hindustan TimesIndia vs Australia 4th Test Day 5 LIVE Score: If India’s fans, team, and management were asked at the beginning of day four whether they would have accepted Australia being at 228-9 at close of play, everyone would likely have bitten your hand off after the hole the team had found itself in earlier in the Boxing Day Test match. Nevertheless, Australia found themselves at 173-9, a solid lead of 278 runs, which would still have allowed India to be confident in the chase on day five. A couple of boundaries and plenty of strike rotation allowed the score to keep ballooning, and before India knew what had struck them, Lyon suddenly turned on the motor towards the end of day’s play to heap on 28 runs off the last 5 overs. India will be desperate to get rid of Lyon or Boland, with Australia undoubtedly also considering an early if not overnight declaration with 333 just on the cusp of too many runs for a team to score in one day’s play.
