Starc out for 5; Australia 8 down

December 29, 2024 10:58

Aus 161-8 (61 ovs) & 474 vs Ind 369 | Scorecard

Siraj continues as Lyon clips the first ball off his pads for a single and Cummins drives the fifth ball past the gully fielder for three runs.

Lyon is beaten on the outside edge last ball as he pushes forward to block.

Australia are 161/8 in 60 overs, for an overall lead of 266 runs. Their primary target will be 300, which would make it a challenging chase for the Indians in around three sessions and more. But India do have the likes of Rishabh Pant, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma, who of if they get going are capable of chasing any total.

Cummins doing well to bat out time. Australia will not want India have too many overs to chase down the runs.

There are still around 28 overs left in the day plus 96 on the final day. Australia will look to bat for atleast the next 15 overs and add another 50 runs to their total if their lower order can hang around with Cummins.

Cummins was getting off strike when Labuschagne was out in the middle, now he is doing the same for Lyon as he plays out a maiden over.
