India vs Australia 2nd Test Day 4 Live Cricket Streaming: Australia will resume from 132/4 in Perth. (Source: AP)Ind vs Aus, India vs Australia 2nd Test Day 4 Live Cricket Score Streaming Online: The opening two days of the second Test had the contest pretty much even but things shifted in favour of Australia after the third day. When they will get the fourth day underway from 132/4 with a 175 run lead already in the bag, India will have their task cut out to minimise the eventual target. Post Virat Kohli, India folded meekly and that gave Australia a 43 run lead which they built upon with comfort.
Usman Khawaja and Tim Paine will get things going for Australia who may be down to nine batsmen with a right index finger injury to Aaron Finch and his involvement with the bat remains uncertain. The surface is doing enough for Nathan Lyon to go after the Indian batting and a target in the region of 225-250 will be good enough it seems.
Bowling change
First bowling change of the day has Umesh Yadav replacing Jasprit Bumrah
Chance!
Usman Khawaja survives! Tries to steal a single after playing it with soft hands. Bumrah runs up to the ball and takes aim on the turn as he is falling but misses. Lucky, Lucky Khawaja. Has had some skiers yesterday and now this.
Day 4 underway
Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami to get the play going on Day 4. Tim Paine joined by Usman Khawaja with the bat for Australia
Update: Aaron Finch injury
Aaron Finch has been given the go-ahead to bat having been clubbed with a Mohammed Shami bouncer
Pitch Report
Michael Vaughan with the pitch report: "The cracks have widened even more than yesterday and day before. The foot holes are developing more. There is plenty of action for the seamers. We are in for a gripping game"
How India can claw back?
India need to do an Australia if they are to come back into this. Quick wickets in the opening session to curtail Australia's run flow as much as possible and India are in it. A 250 run target or under will be an interesting contest. Anything beyond and Australia will be strong contenders to make it 1-1 in the series
Day 4!
