India vs Australia 4th Test Highlights: Australia nine down, lead by 333 runs at stumps on Day 4

Jasprit Bumrah (4/56) entered record books by completing his 200 wickets but Australia extended their lead to 333 runs, reaching 228 for 9 at stumps on the fourth day of the fourth Test, at Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday.

 

Resuming at 135 for six after tea, Australia lost their last recognised batter Marnus Labuschagne for 70 off 139 balls shortly after resumption but fought till the end of the third session to keep India at bay.

 

Australia captain Pat Cummins scored a vital 90-ball 41 for his side to stretch the lead and the last-wicket pair of Nathan Lyon and Scott Boland also put on another unbeaten 55 runs for the last wicket.

   

Bumrah, who completed 200 Test wickets at an incredible average of 19.56, was unplayable in the second innings.

 

With immaculate length, awkward bounce and late movement, he had the Australian line-up in complete tangle.

 

Marnus Labuschagne (65 batting, 118 balls) fought doggedly but could have been dismissed if Yashasvi Jaiswal held onto a regulation catch in third slip off Akash Deep.

 

For the first time since the Perth Test, Bumrah had meaningful support from the other end as Australia lost three wickets in a space of 10 deliveries.

 

The pacer's effort helped India regain a good bit of control despite conceding a 105-run first innings lead even after Nitish Reddy's brilliant 114.

 

Steve Smith (13) edged trying to drive Mohammed Siraj (2/40 in 14 overs) while Bumrah had Travis Head (1) uppishly flick one to man-of-the-moment Nitish Reddy stationed at square leg for that very offering.

 

Just like Bumrah had ended Shaun Marsh' Test career during the 2018-19 series, this time his younger brother Mitchell Marsh (0) has been left with no answers to the star Indian pacer's probing questions.

 

A short ball between chest and chin with a hint of away movement got the Aussie power-hitter.

 

Going around the wicket, Bumrah used the width of the crease to find that angle to breach the defence of Alex Carey.

 

It all started in the first session when Bumrah's perfect nip-backer sent debutant Sam Konstas (8) packing before the much-maligned Siraj jettisoned Usman Khawaja with a peach.
