IND vs AUS LIVE Cricket Score: India eye early wickets on Day 5

Day 5 preview: India will be eyeing early breakthroughs as they aim to make short work of the Australian batting lineup to try and win a Test that currently appears to be meandering towards a draw.

Australia are set to resume from their overnight score of 3/0 on the final day of the fourth and final Test against India at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, with their chances of pulling off a series-leveling win appearing unlikely after India’s strong response with the bat.

The hosts rode on centuries from Virat Kohli (186) and Shubman Gill (128) to post a sizeable 571 on the board, with middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer unable to show up after complaining of lower back issues for which he was sent for scans.

The Aussies had sent No 11 batter Matthew Kuhnemann to open alongside Travis Head in the remaining overs of the evening session on Sunday due to doubts over Usman Khawaja’s fitness. Khawaja, who smashed 180 in the first innings, appeared to have hurt his leg while attempting to prevent the ball from going over the rope at long off, and subsequently had to walk off the field due to discomfort.

The Aussies will hope it’s a minor knock, and that he’s able to thwart the Indian attack on the final day.
