Ind vs Aus 1st Test Day 4 Live Cricket Score Online, India vs Australia Test Live Cricket Score Streaming: Australia will believe that a couple of wickets in the first half hour of Day 4 will give them the opening they will need to stage a comeback. Virat Kohli’s wicket was a rare ray of hope for them in a rain-curtailed third day. Cheteshwar Pujara remains in the middle but the Indian batting order post Virat Kohli has shown a tendency to collapse during previous Test matches.

Ajinkya Rahane is on the other side of the pitch as India continue on an overnight total of 151/3. They lead by 166 runs with seven wickets in hand, which means that the match is balanced on a knife’s edge.
