The fourth Test being played between India and Australia in Melbourne is becoming exciting. On the third day of the Test, Nitish Reddy brought a different thrill to the match with his century. Nitish is at the crease after scoring 105 runs and Team India is struggling in the Boxing-Day Test.
In response to 474 runs scored by Australia, the Indian team has scored 358 runs after losing 9 wickets. Team India is still 116 runs behind the Kangaroos’ score. Meanwhile, a big update has come out regarding the fourth day’s play.
The fourth day’s play will start shortly
The fourth day of the Boxing Day Test between India and Australia will begin soon in Melbourne. Due to bad light on the third day, the umpires decided to end the day’s play early. To make up for the time lost on the fourth day, play will start half an hour earlier. That means the fourth day of Melbourne Test will start at 4.30 am according to Indian time. The Indian team will hope that Nitish Reddy can add some more runs to his and the team’s account, so that Australia can take a small lead in the first innings. Nitish has faced 176 balls in his innings so far. Meanwhile, he has hit 10 fours and 1 six.
Nitish-Sundar created ruckus
The beginning of the third day was not good for the Indian team. Rishabh Pant once again failed to take advantage of the good start and returned to the pavilion after playing very poor shots. After Pant returned to the pavilion, Nitish and Jadeja added 30 runs. Jadeja also could not stay at the crease for long and was out after scoring 17 runs. After this Nitish and Washington Sundar took the responsibility. Both of them made an important partnership of 127 runs for the eighth wicket. Sundar played an important inning of 50 runs. This partnership has brought Team India back into the game.
