Cricket-Cummins strikes twice and Starc gets Kohli to leave India 33-3

Hindustan Times  

By Ian Ransom Cricket-Cummins strikes twice and Starc gets Kohli to leave India 33-3 MELBOURNE, - Pat Cummins struck twice in an over and Mitchell Starc dismissed Virat Kohli cheaply to leave India reeling at 33 for three at lunch and needing 307 runs for victory on day five of the fourth test in Melbourne on Monday. After Australia were bowled out for 234 early on, Cummins ended a watchful 25-run partnership by dismissing opposing skipper Rohit Sharma for nine when the out-of-form opener edged straight to Mitchell Marsh at gully. Number four Virat Kohli marched out to a mixture of boos and cheers from the rival supporters, four days on from his mid-pitch shoulder bump with Australia's 19-year-old debutant Sam Konstas. Jasprit Bumrah had earlier bowled Nathan Lyon for 41 to wrap up Australia's second innings as India's pace maestro finished with 5-57 and a total of nine wickets for the match.
