Mitchell Starc to Washington Sundar, FOUR! Sundar welcomes Starc with a boundary! A short and wide delivery, inviting the shot, and Sundar accepts. He stands tall and cuts it past covers, finding the gap for four. The Indian crowd erupts in celebration!
Washington Sundar reaches his half-century here, playing a crucial supporting role in what has been a brilliant display from India.
The momentum of this game has shifted dramatically. Test cricket can be so unpredictable—this morning, Australia would have walked onto the field hoping to wrap up India’s innings quickly and put themselves back in to bat. But the last session and this one have completely transformed the game’s outlook.
Now, a draw is a real possibility, and India could even go on to win. This partnership also allows the Indian bowlers to get much-needed rest, ensuring they return to the field fresh when it’s their turn to bowl.
