India 252-9 (74.5 Ovs) vs Aus 445 | Scorecard

The light meter comes out, and the umpires signal for the players to leave the field. Given their position, the day ends on a high note for India.

A resilient 33*-run partnership between Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep has helped #TeamIndia avoid the follow-on.

Australia will bat for at least an hour tomorrow, leaving India with a substantial chase if they are to try and win. Unless something truly extraordinary occurs—such as India bowling Australia out cheaply—this is how the game is likely to unfold.
