Ashwin makes no mistake as he takes an easy catch to wrap up the match for India. Ravichandran Ashwin to Peter Handscomb, OUT! Another one bites the dust! Floated outside off, Handscomb dances down the track and goes for a heave on the leg side. The ball flies off the top edge and balloons behind the stumps. Saha moves a bit to his left and takes a sitter. Ashwin gets yet another fifer, his 25th in Tests. Handscomb has to depart and Indian players on the field are ecstatic. The crowd is up on their feet and have started celebrating. India are one wicket away from victory. Ravindra Jadeja to Steve O'Keefe, OUT! Jadeja gets his first! Tossed up in the line of the stumps, Steve O'Keefe prods forward in defence but the ball stays low. He is totally beaten by it and the ball goes through the gate to rattle the stumps. The batsman has to walk back and India need only two more wickets to win this match Ravichandran Ashwin to Mitchell Starc, OUT! Gone through the gate! Floated delivery outside off, Starc lunges forward in defence and plays for the spin. The ball does not turn and sneaks in between the bat and the pad. It hits the elbow and deflects on the stumps. The Indians erupt in joy and the danger man Starc has to walk but to the hut. Ashwin gets his fourth. India need three more wickets to win the contest. Australia 101/6. Handscomb 19, Starc 0 at TEA on Day 4 Ravichandran Ashwin to Matthew Wade, OUT! Saha is the man! Tossed up delivery in the line of the stumps, Wade lunges forward in defence. He gets it off the inside edge, then onto the pads and balloons towards the square of the wicket on the leg side. Saha dives full stretch towards it and takes a sensational catch to send back Wade to the pavilion. Ravichandran Ashwin to Mitchell Marsh, OUT! Ashwin gets one to bounce off good length. Marsh goes on to the backfoot but it kisses his gloves and Karun Nair makes no mistake at backward short-leg. Australia five down Australia 75/4. Handscomb 5, M Marsh 1 Umesh Yadav to Steven Smith, OUT! Yadav makes it count! Angling into the stumps, the ball stays low which takes Smith by surprise. He is totally beaten there and he gets rapped on his pads. The players appeal and the umpire raises his finger up. Smith has a talk with Handscomb who points towards the dressing room for advice. the umpire and Kohli see it and charge their way into the action. The time is up and he cannot review the decision now. Smith has to leave the field. Umesh Yadav to Shaun Marsh, OUT! Unlucky Marsh! Angling into the stumps, Marsh tries to pad it away and offers no stroke to it. He gets hit flush on his pads just outside off and the players appeal. The umpire obliges and raises his finger up. Marsh has a discussion with his skipper and decides not to go for the review. So, the Aussies have lost their third wicket as Marsh walks back to the pavilion. Replays though show that it was missing the stumps. The Australian dressing room does not look too happy. Australia 52/2. Smith 19, Marsh 2 Ravichandran Ashwin to David Warner, OUT! The change of angle works for Ashwin! Floats it on off, Warner looks to sweep it through but misses and is hit on his pads. The players go up in an appeal and the umpire obliges. David Warner comes over to have a chat with Steven Smith. He does not look too sure about the decision but eventually goes for the review. Ball Tracker shows that the impact was umpires call and so was the ball clipping the stumps. Warner has to walk back to the hut. Australia lose a review. Ishant Sharma to Matt Renshaw, OUT! Ishant draws first blood! Hurls it outside off on a length, Renshaw has a poke at it from his crease. The ball bounces more on him and kissses the outside edge and flies through to Saha. Ishant Sharma strikes and India will heave a sigh of relief there. They needed that wicket. Australia need 166 runs to win! Australia 10/0. Warner 1, Renshaw 4 Australia need 188 runs to win Josh Hazlewood then got rid of Cheteshwar Pujara for 92 and castled Ashwin with one that kept low. Umesh Yadav threw his wicket away but the pair of Ishant Sharma and Wriddhiman Saha added vital 16 runs before the former threw it away at the stroke of lunch. India have set a target of 188 runs for Australia. Batting has not been easy but Australia will know this is their best chance to retain the Border-Gavaskar trophy, this time in India. The hosts will want to bank on the conditions to help them as they aim to stay alive in the series. Join us in a while for what should be an interesting chase That was yet another fascinating session of Test cricket! Australia have done brilliantly to bowl India out in this session. The hosts began cautiously, adding runs slowly but gradually. Australia knew they had to do something special and they did, with the second new ball. Starc rapped Rahane in front just after the batsman got to his fifty and that triggered the collapse. He then dismissed Karun Nair for a golden duck and almost took a hat-trick. Steve O'Keefe to Ishant Sharma, OUT! Ishant throws it away! Tossed up delivery outside off, Sharma prods forward and drives the ball straight to the fielder at short extra cover. Shaun Marsh makes no mistake as he pounces on it diving forward. Ishant will be really unhappy with his shot after playing well till then. With this wicket, the Indian innings comes to an end as they finish on 274. Lunch has been taken as well. India 272/9. Saha 18. Ishant 6 Josh Hazlewood to Umesh Yadav, OUT! Soft dismissal! Good length delivery angling into the batsman, Yadav goes for a biggie but he cannot get the desired contact. The ball goes straight towards the fielder at mid off. Warner takes an easy catch and the batsman has to walk back. Silly batting from Yadav who has Saha on the other end. India 252/8. Saha 4. Umesh 1 Josh Hazlewood to Ravichandran Ashwin, OUT! Bowled 'em! Angling into the stumps from a length, Ashwin stays in his crease and tries to drive it. The ball stays low and that takes Ashwin by surprise. He cannot get the bat down in time as the ball crashes into the stumps. Hazlewood makes a terrific comeback after the boundary and gets his 5th five-wicket haul. India are struggling with only two wickets left now. Josh Hazlewood to Cheteshwar Pujara, OUT! Pujara throws it away! Shorter in length just around off, Hazlewood gets the ball to bounce more and Pujara has to play at it. The ball goes off the edge and lobs towards Mitchell Marsh who takes a good catch at gully. Pujara knows how important this wicket is and is disappointed as he walks back. India have suddenly lost three wickets and the game is wide open now. Phew, this Test match is taking a toll on everyone out there. India's lead remember is only 155 right now. Mitchell Starc to Karun Nair, OUT! TIMBER! Fires it full and on the stumps, Karun Nair plays all over it and gets an inside edge onto his stumps. The stumps are broken and Starc is roaring. He is absolutely pumped up and why not, Australia are back in the game. Karun Nair walks back after bagging a golden duck. India are effectively 151/6! Mitchell Starc to Ajinkya Rahane, OUT! Big wicket for Australia, thanks to the review! Slants it on the stumps, Rahane looks to clip it through but is hit on his pads. The batsmen cross for a run while there is a loud shout for an lbw. The slip cordon and the bowler is confident and they go for the review. Replays show there was no bat there, Ball Tracker shows the ball hitting the stumps and that is for Rahane. A very good knock comes to an end. India's lead is 151 right now! India 232/4. Pujara 87, Rahane 51 11th Test fifty for Ajinkya Rahane. Mitchell Starc to Ajinkya Rahane, FOUR! What a shot to get to your fifty! Fuller outside off, Rahane does not miss out and sends it crashing into the cover fence. Superb shot that from Rahane. A vital fifty for him and he will want to make it count. India 213/4. Pujara 79 , Rahane 40 The players make way out to the centre. DAY 4, SESSION 1 Having gained a lead of 87, Australia would have hoped to run through the Indian batting line-up again but KL Rahul kept them at bay with a fine fifty. After his dismissal, India did seem to have lost their way but the pair of Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane showed great skills to survive the day. India currently lead by 126 runs and will know they need to add at least 100 more runs to start fancying their chances. Australia will come out hard knowing that chasing won't be that easy. It promises to be another intriguing day of cricket. Stay tuned for all the action. Pitch Report - Sunil Gavaskar says that yesterday was a cracker of a day. Feels that this wicket is going to remain two paced throughout the contest. Mentions that the ball will turn and bounce, with the odd ball keeping low. Also adds that the inconsistency in bounce will be lethal as the cracks will keep getting wider as the day progresses. Brett Lee feels that Starc should bowl from the Beml end, Ishant Sharma really looked threatening from that end as he kept bowling on a back of a length area. Sunil Gavaskar feels that India would be looking to add a minimum of hundred runs on the board to pull the game back in their favour. (Talking about the new ball) Opines that the Aussies should wait for a while, to check if the old ball is doing any tricks and then go for the new ball. Ends by saying that it would be an exciting game of cricket for sure with both the teams still in the contest. Hello everyone and welcome to the coverage of the fourth day of the second Test between India and Australia at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. Well many of us didn't quite expect the game to go into the penultimate day, did we? When Indian were bundled out for 189 and the pitch offering a lot of assistance then, it looked like we may be in for a quick game but it wasa not to be. Both teams have applied themselves well, especially India who have done well to stay in the game.
