Melbourne: Bad light and drizzle forced for tea to be taken early on day three of Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Saturday. Before that, an unbroken 105-run stand between Nitish Kumar Reddy and Washington Sundar took India to 326/7 in 97 overs as they trail Australia by 148 runs.

All the action from the third day of the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Australia’s fiery pace attack destroyed India’s top order on Friday to put them in the driving seat of the fourth test after they set a daunting first-innings target on the back of Steve Smith’s 34th test century.

India and Australia are currently facing each other in the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. At the end of Day 2, the hosts are on top having reduced India to 164/5 after posting 474 runs on the board.
