4th Test, Day 4: Australia fight back after Bumrah, Siraj rattle top order

Pacer Mohammed Siraj, who took 3-66, sparked an early collapse, dismissing Steve Smith and Usman Khawaja. Vice-captain Jasprit Bumrah registered 4-56 off 24 overs to hand India an outside chance of victory in Melbourne. However, India's hopes were diminished by a stubborn, unbeaten final-wicket stand of 55 from 17.5 overs. Australia reached 228-9, leading by 333 runs in an absorbing fourth Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
