Cummins, Labuschagne steady Aus

December 29, 2024 09:35

Aus 130-6 (46 ovs) & 474 vs Ind 369 | Scorecard

Spin for the first time after tea as Jadeja comes back into the attack. Labuschagne hits the first ball through the covers for a single.

Cummins glances the fifth ball fine as Jadeja stays on the pads for a boundary and defends the last ball with caution.

Akash Deep starts his new over with a loose delivery as Labuschagne has enough time to pull the short ball square for a boundary.

He nearly falls off the last ball as he defends and the ball hits the pads before going back but bounces back over the stumps. That is a close shave for Labuschagne, who was earlier dropped at gully by Jaiswal when his score was 46.

Akash Deep bowls a wide half-volley which Cummins square drives through the covers for a four.

Australia have looked to put the pressure back on India, hitting 26 from the last four overs.

Cummins has tried to be positive, hitting 21 from 28 balls, while Labuschagne is on 60.

The duo have put on 39 from 60 balls to steady Australia's innings after the early wickets.
