Spinner Nathan Lyon from the other end. Reddy uses his feet to hit the first ball to long-on and takes a single off the first ball and Siraj gets one off the next.
Reddy sweeps the third ball behind square for a couple of runs. He backs away a long way to hammer Lyon straight back past mid-on for the first boundary of the day but can't get a single off the last ball.
Cummins up against Siraj, who defends the first two balls before ducking under a bouncer. He steers a full toss on the off-side for a single and Reddy shuffles across a long way to clip the pacer to fine leg for one.
Cummins from round the wicket beats Siraj outside the off-stump as the Australians appeal for caught behind. Umpire Michael Gough wants to have a check with the TV umpire for bump ball.
The third umpire rules that it has bounced after hitting the bat after watching just two replays. The Australians are not too impressed and Pat Cummins wants to take the DRS.
The commentary team including Adam Gilchrist and Ravi Shastri are not convinced either with the third umpire's decision.
But Australia finish off the innings in the next over. Reddy comes down the track but hits Lyon straight to Mitchell Starc at long-on.
Reddy's fantastic knock comes to an end as he is dismissed for 114 with India bowled out for 369 in 119.3 overs.
Australia take a sizeable first innings lead of 105 runs.
India lasted just 21 balls on Day 4, scoring 11 runs before losing the wicket of centurion Reddy, who scored a memorable maiden century at the MCG.
He was instrumental in helping India make a sensational comeback as he defied the Australian bowlers for most of Day 3, hitting 11 fours and a six in his 189-ball knock.
