LIVE SCORE IND VS AUS 4th Test – Australia will be delighted heading into the break after a strong session. India had started well, quickly dismissing the last Australian wicket this morning. Rohit looked composed, and Jaiswal weathered early testing from Starc. India remained solid through the first hour. However, Cummins’ double-wicket maiden shifted the momentum. He dismissed Rohit with a ball that straightened, leading to a brilliant catch from Marsh at gully. Rahul followed soon after, edging one to Khawaja at first slip. Kohli started well, leaving deliveries outside off, but just before lunch, he chased a ball he could have left, edging it to Khawaja.
