Bumrah scythed through the middle order on day four in Melbourne to record figures of 4-56 off 24 overs and hand India an outside chance of victory in a match the home side have mostly dominated. However, India's hopes were diminished by a stubborn, unbeaten final-wicket stand of 55 from 17.5 overs.

Up by 105 runs on the first inn­ings, Australia were rocked by losing four wickets for 11 midway thro­ugh the second session to slump to 91-6.
