🏏Australia vs India, 4th Test: Melbourne, 26 - 30 Dec 2024: Day 5 🏏 - Page 75

India’s record run chase in Tests came way back in 1976 against the West Indies when it shot down 406 runs in Port of Spain.

India needs 340 runs to win this match. 30 wickets for Bumrah this series.

And so we've reached the final installments of this enthralling Test match. Rohit and Jaiswal are sat in the dugout ready to go. How will India's captain play? For Australia, eyes will be on Mitchell Starc's fitness. Big day for Lyon, too, with the ball. Pat Cummins leads his players out. Followed by the India batters.

Australia has taken a 333-run lead, and the last wicket partnership has contributed 55 runs to it. With Nathan Lyon and Scott Boland still unbeaten, anything more than 350 will almost take an Indian win out of the question. It still has, in some way. If India manages to get Australia out in first 30 mins, would the visitor go for a win, or play for a draw?

The heavy roller was used on the pitch. Cummins was having a quick word with coach Andrew McDonald. The players are back on the field. Rohit and Jaiswal stride out. Big day and innings for the India captain. Can he step up? Starc at the top of his mark. Three slips and a gully in place. Off we go..
