Jasprit Bumrah’s career-best haul of 6/33 gave India a massive 292-run lead but India were jolted by a sensational spell of bowling from Pat Cummins. On day 3, he accounted for Hanuma Vihari, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane in a sensational spell of bowling. On day 4, his wonderful exhibition continued as he picked up Mayank Agarwal for 42 and accounted for Ravindra Jadeja to pick up his career-best haul of 6/27. Virat Kohli declared for the second time in the match and India have set Australia a target of 399. The Australian top order floundered yet again despite putting up a much better show as compared to the first innings. However, the Australian tail stung India yet again as they frustrated the victory push for Virat Kohli's side. Having hurt India with the ball, Cummins hit his second fifty as he shared partnerships with Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon to help Australia drag the match into the final day where rain is forecast.  (SCORECARD)
