Australia vs India, 1st Test Day 4 Ball by ball commentary

17:35 IST:

With the deck showing no signs of wear, Jaiswal and Devdutt Padikkal added to Australia’s woes, leaving the visitors waiting for the second new ball. Once available, Australia did not start that well, but Josh Hazlewood struck immediately after the Lunch break to remove Padikkal. From 313/2, Jaiswal’s dismissal triggered a mini-collapse, with India slipping to 321/5 to lift the Aussie spirits. Virat Kohli held firm and stitched partnerships first with Washington Sundar and then with Nitish Kumar Reddy to extend the lead. His partnership with Nitish gave the final push India needed for their declaration and as Kohli upped the ante, it also brought up his 30th Test ton. The tourists declared at 487/6, setting Australia a target of 534 runs.
