After 6 overs, Australia 21/0 ( Marcus Harris 1 , David Warner 20)

Looks like this will be the final over of the day. Natarajan with the ball, hasn’t really bowled wicket to wicket. He’s mostly stuck to outside off deliveries that have tailed away from the two left hander’s. One run off the over.

A slip and a silly-point in place. Bowling change for India as Washington comes into the attack. Warner waits for the fourth delivery and cuts it for a triple. Three off the over.

After 4 overs,Australia 17/0 ( Marcus Harris 1 , David Warner 16)

Natarajan continues. Clocking 130-135 kph, that’s been his average speed. Catches Warner off guard with a beautiful outswinger that beats Warner’s outside edge. Four runs off the over.

Siraj continues and Warner shows his might with the bat as he collects three consecutive boundaries. A pull shot, a cut, and a drive down the ground fetched him those boundaries. 12 off the over.

After 2 overs,Australia 1/0 ( Marcus Harris 0 , David Warner 1)

T Natarajan comes into the attack. Gets nice shape off the first two, the ball tailing away from Warner, his Sunrisers Hyderabad teammate. Warner would have faced Natarajan in the nets. Risky run for Warner, he was itching to get off the strike. Direct hit and he was gone. Lucky to survive there, Warner. Just one off the over.

IND 336 after 111.4 overs

Right, India have been bundled out for 336, but just a 33-run lead for the Australians. Some fightback this from the visitors, with half-centurions Sundar and Shardul leading the charge.

After 111 overs,India 332/9 ( Mohammed Siraj 9 , T Natarajan 1)

Starc in action. He’s made a reputation of running through the opposition’s lower order. Short stuff to unsettle Natarajan, clocking in excess of 145 on occasion. A fuller delivery from Starc off the fifth, Natarajan does well to fend it. A yorker to end the over, it hits Natarajan on the pads but was going down leg. Maiden over.

Starc comes into the attack. Their eyes have lit up.  Tailenders at the crease and their approach is pretty clear, they’re not gonna hang around for long. Natarajan, the new man, collects his first run in Test cricket off the fourth. Four runs off the over.  India trail by 37 runs.

Cummins steaming in. Clearly the short ball ploy at work, Cummins directing bouncers into the body of Sundar. The left-hander was hit twice in the over. But kept a poker face. Might get a look in from the physio here. Just one off the over.

SIX! Sundar gets down on one leg and slog sweeps it over deep mid wicket for a six. The left-hander didn’t bother to look down, much like New Zealand’s Martin Guptill does sometimes.

After 103 overs,India 309/7 ( Washington Sundar 54 , Navdeep Saini 0)

Cummins continues and gets the much-needed breakthrough for Australia, dismissing the well-set Shardul with a jaffa that rattled the right-hander’s stumps. Aussies will feel that they are back in the game. Is this the momentum shift they were looking for? Cummins opts for a caught behind review but there’s no spike on the Snicko. Two runs off the over.

Lyon continues from one end. One run off the over, courtesy a leg bye. Lyon’s frustration showing as he throws the ball at Sundar after the last delivery even though the left-hander was well inside the crease.

India vs Australia 2020-21 Live score and latest update of 4th Test at Brisbane:

A day of resilience for India. Half centurions Shardul and Sundar showed great maturity and character. India will be mighty pleased after managing 336. Australia just marginally ahead with a lead by 54 runs at the end of day’s play. Both their openers will take guard tomorrow. ‘ We hope you enjoyed our coverage. Do join us early morning tomorrow for Day 4’s coverage. Adios!

Day 2 report: The deciding fourth Test between Australia and India in Brisbane hung in the balance Saturday after a massive thunderstorm caused play to be abandoned following the tea break on the second day. The Gabba was saturated during the storm, which began during the tea break, and while the ground drained quickly, the umpires decided the outfield was too wet to allow play to continue. India will resume on Sunday at 62 for two, 307 runs behind Australia’s first innings total of 369, with Cheteshwar Pujara on eight alongside skipper Ajinkya Rahane, who was on two. Australia had earlier claimed the vital wicket of Rohit Sharma 20 minutes before tea to seize the momentum. Sharma had been in full flow, striking 44 stylish runs from 74 deliveries with six boundaries. But with the score on 60 for the loss of opener Shubman Gill (7), Sharma threw his wicket away when he charged off-spinner Nathan Lyon, only managing to sky a ball to Mitchell Starc at deep mid-on. The Australian off-spinner is playing his 100th Test match and is closing in on 400 wickets – Sharma was his 397th. “I had a couple of plans for Rohit,” Lyon said. “Obviously he’s a world-class player, so I just wanted to make sure I was bowling my best ball, and not try to worry too much about what the batters are doing.” [caption id=“attachment_9181591” align=“alignnone” width=“640”] ![File image of India stand-in captain Ajinkya Rahane and Australian skipper Tim Paine. AP](https://images.firstpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/RahanePaine.jpg) File image of India stand-in captain Ajinkya Rahane and Australian skipper Tim Paine. AP[/caption] He said the wicket was different from a normal Gabba strip. “It is a lot drier than it usually is,” Lyon said. “It was probably more like a day three wicket (on day one) and there’s a nice crack outside the off-stump. “I’m trying to aim at that and hopefully bring in both edges and see how we go.” Pat Cummins had made the early breakthrough for the hosts when Shubman Gill got a thick edge and Steve Smith took a sharp catch at second slip. ‘A lot of character’ After resuming at 274 for five on Saturday morning, Australia lost five wickets in the first session including the overnight batsmen Tim Paine and Cameron Green. Paine and Green had started aggressively on a flat batting wicket and looked to push the score beyond 400. But shortly after reaching his half-century, Paine chased a wide ball from Shardul Thakur (3-94) and edged to Sharma at third slip to leave Australia 311 for six. Green survived a sharp chance on 45 off Washington Sundar but two runs later, the off-spinner got his revenge when he bowled the Australian number six for 47. Thakur, playing only his second Test, took his third wicket when he trapped Cummins leg-before for two to leave the hosts struggling at 315 for seven. However, Lyon and Starc went on the attack and the score raced to 354 before Sundar bowled Lyon around his legs after his quickfire 24 off 22 deliveries. When T. Natarajan bowled Josh Hazlewood to end the innings, the inexperienced Indian attack had completed an impressive comeback on a hot and humid Brisbane morning. The Indian attack features two players making their debut – Natarajan (3-78) and Sundar (3-89) – while their most experienced bowler, Mohammad Siraj, is playing just his third Test following a raft of injures to their first-choice bowlers. “I think it was a great effort from both the newcomers,” Sharma said. “Obviously playing against Australia in Australia is never going to be that easy. “They (the bowlers) showed a lot of character. They were right in the game and understood what is the team expecting from them to do.” To compound India’s problems, Navdeep Saini was only able to bowl 7.5 overs on the first day before he broke down with a groin injury.
