Bumrah stars with four wickets but Australia’s tail pushes lead past 300 on fourth day of fourth Test.
India seamer Jasprit Bumrah was at his unplayable best at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Day Four of the fourth Test, claiming 4-56 including his 200th wicket in a breathtaking performance against Australia.
Bumrah dominated Australia’s middle order on Sunday, removing Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh and Alex Carey cheaply before the home side’s tail wagged, reaching 228-9 at stumps, with one day of play remaining. Australia leads by 333 runs with the five-match series level at 1-1.
Earlier, Australia lost four wickets for 11 runs in 22 deliveries, slumping from 80-2 to 91-6 in a dramatic middle-order collapse after Lunch.
But the home side rallied thanks to a 57-run partnership between Marnus Labuschagne (70) and Pat Cummins (41).
India resumed Sunday on 358-9 and was bowled out for 369 in reply to the home side’s 474.
