The ongoing test match between Australia and India in the Common Wealth Bank series is now in shape to make a finishing note similar to that of the opening game.
With the match now entering final day, Australia has taken their second innings lead to 348 runs at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
India took an early blow on day four with the loss of skipper Virat Kohli (147) in the initial overs.
Wriddhiman Saha failed to keep up the momentum on the last day as he was dismissed on 35. However, the tailenders put up their best batting performance in the series, with Ravichandra Ashwin heading the last-men knock.
From a stage of 7/383, India went on to put up a score of 475 after the loss of their final wicket. See the Ind vs Aus live cricket score here.
Ravichandra Ashwin (50) held on to his nerves to come up with a sounding half century and was given ample support from other end by Bhuvneshwar Kumar (30). Mohammad Shami (16) also came up with a modest support, while Umesh Yadav (4), the last man, failed to impress.
