AUS 140/8 (20.4)

IND vs AUS Live Score: WICKET!

AUS 128/6 (18.2)

Another Australian batter bites the dust! There is nothing stopping Ravichandran Ashwin at the moment. On the fifth ball of his fourth over, he trapped Josh Inglis in front of the stumps. Australia are lagging too behind in this game now.

IND vs AUS Live Score: Warner is gone!

Ravichandran Ashwin finally has his man! He has removed David Warner. The southpaw, who was batting left-handed against Ashwin, tried to go for a reverse sweep but got out LBW.

AUS 100/4 (14.1)

IND vs AUS Live Score: OUT!

IND vs AUS Live Score: Match starts losing overs!

It’s a long stoppage and the number of overs in Australia’s chase is definitely going to be reduced. The covers are still on. Until and unless the covers are removed and an inspection takes place, it would be really hard to say whether the game could further take place or not.
