India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 4 Live updates from Melbourne Cricket Ground:
SIX!
Marsh brings up Australia's 100 with a six off Jadeja over mid-on. Australia's deficit has now gone below the 300-run mark. Interesting period of play this.
DRINKS!
Marsh and Head still in the middle. Some good resistance this from the Aussies but the Indians won't be too worried about this. Bumrah has been spitting fire and it seems just a matter of time before he gets another. Australia 95/3
Australia 93/3
Marsh continues in a positive vein. He has made 25 so far off 54 deliveries with included three fours. India keep the decibel levels up around the batsman.
Bumrah-Shami-Ishant
They have now got the most wickets by any pace trio in a calendar year in Test history. Just for perspective, they have surpassed a 34-year-old record set by the legendary West Indies trio of Joel Garner, Michael Holding and Malcolm Marshall. DETAILS
OUT! Khawaja LBW by Shami
Khawaja takes the review. Good length pitched outside off and moving into the pads, was there an outside edge? Hot spot and snicko checked, third umpire is happy with that and ball tracking shows that the ball will be hitting off. Umpire's decision stays, Australa lose their third.
He loves his sweeps, Usman Khawaja, the normal one and the reverse. The latest sweep went square over Hanuma Vihari, the new short leg. This was the Agarwal smasher.
Mayank Agarwal is making his way from the field after this nasty blow fielding in close.
Shami's full-length delivery whistles past Khawaja's outside edge and takes a bounce just in front of Pant. There was a sound there but replays showed that there was clear daylight between ball and bat.
Agarwal hit on the neck!
Short leg, that damned fielding position. Khawaja tries to sweep Jadeja, ball takes a bounce before darting on to Agarwal's neck. The players huddle around him and the physio is out. He is taken off and KL Rahul, replaces him.
Australia 54/2
Marsh means business. A lovely drive off the fourth ball of that over for four and 10 runs came off that over.
Covers on and off
The pitch was covered for some time during lunch but they are taken off almost immediately. Players come back on, Khawaja and Marsh take their positions, Shami to bowl the first over of the second session.
LUNCH! Australia 44/2, need 355 to win
Marsh and Khawaja survive. India with their tails up, Australia will be hoping for a gigantic cloud to form over the MCG and empty itself over the course of the next two days. That looks like the only way they can survive this match.
The Pant-o-phone is on
Marsh is on the crease, Jadeja bowling and Pant in full flow. Marsh with monk-like composure refrains from going big, which is what Pant has been asking him to do, apart from other things.
SIX!
Khawaja dashes down the track and deposits the first delivery of the 12th over to the long-off boundary. He has moved to 25.
OUT! Marcus Harris
Jadeja with his first wicket of the day, inside edge, off the pads and into Agarwal at short leg. He doesn't stop it this time the ball has come straight into him, past his hands and into his body. He gets hold of it before it falls and holds it up triumphantly. India on the hunt here.
Australia 24/1
India lose a review. There were quite a few close calls on Khawaja in that Jadeja over and the last ball took the pad and looped to Rahane at first slip. Umpire shook his head but India went for the review. No glove there whatsoever and Khawaja survives.
Jadeja replaces Bumrah
Harris and Khawaja have a big job to do here. It now looks like India have a chance at winning this Test match today. Jadeja replaces Bumrah for the two left-handers presumably.
Australia 10/1 after 3 overs
Mayank Agarwal had dropped Usman Khawaja a ball after balls after that Finch dismissal. He was standing at the thankless short leg position where these catches either stick or they don't. Not much the fielder can do about it. But India have their tails up. Australia trail by 387 runs if that matters anymore...
Finch is the best PR Davey Warner could have.... #AUsvInd
...and sure enough, Finch departs. Short ball moving into Finch and cramping him for room. He tries to cut it over the cordon, ends up holing out at second slip. There was a big LBW appeal against him off the ball before that and India decided against reviewing it. There was no need for it, as it turned out.
Australia 6/0 after 1 over
It is only a matter of time before Finch departs. He hit a four but that was with a gigantic stride to the offside, as Sunil Gavaskar notes in the Sony commentary box. Ishant bowled the first and here comes dangerman Bumrah for the second.
INDIA DECLARE, AUSTRALIA NEED 399 TO WIN
Pant with arguably the shot of the match to hit a six straight over the bowler's head. He tries to ramp the next ball and ends up nicking to the keeper and Kohli declares. India 106/8 and Australia need 399 to win this Test match.
Almost seven for Cummins
Shami tried to hook a short delivery from Cummins and it went to the keeper. The Australians appeal, umpire says no, Paine goes for the review. It looked like there was faintest of edges on snicko and hot-spot but third umpire decides he doesn't have conclusive evidence to reverse the decision.
OUT! 6 wickets for Cummins
Jadeja holes out at short point and that is a much deserved six-wicket haul for Pat Cummins. He had a thankless task to do in the first innings and then grit his teeth to provide some resistance with the bat, and now has six wickets to his name. Australia have got a rock of a player here.
India 100/6
Jadeja had an almighty swipe at a delivery that did not bounce. He missed it completely but ran a single to get off strike. India's lead nearing the 400-run mark.
India 92/6
Paine seems to have asked Cummins bowl a delivery down the leg side to ensure that Pant gets off strike. The delivery ends up being called wide down the leg side. How many times have you seen that happen. Single off the next ball and Pant keeps strike.
BOWLED HIM!
AGARWAL CLEANED UP, FIFER FOR CUMMINS! The ball stays down and takes the toe end of Agarwal's bat before crashing on to the stumps. Cummins acknowledges the crowd but the Indian pacers will be rubbing their hands gleefully. This pitch is spitting venom.
Cummins remains a threat
Lyon was clobbered by Agarwal in his second over of the day while Cummins managed to get an LBW appeal off the next over.
TWO SIXES!
Mayank Agarwal first deposits Nathan Lyon over long-on, a dot ball, and then another maximum over long-off. He leapt down the track on both occasions. Australia for some reason have just one man inside the circle. India doing all the right things at the moment.
Lyon with the first over
Two runs off it. Players getting into the groove so there is still some time before edge of the seat action comes. You warm up too, by reading about go ahead and read about India’s intercontinental ballistic missile.
Hello and welcome!
The forecast is slight showers today and much worse tomorrow so there is every chance that India will look to declare early on Day 3 and look to bowl Australia out. In that way, there is a high likelihood that we will see an end to this rivetting Test match today. India start the day on 54/5 with a lead of 346 runs.
Australia XI: Marcus Harris, Aaron Finch, Usman Khawaja, Shaun Marsh, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Tim Paine (c & wk), Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood

Khawaja almost nicks it
