Australia were at 6/0 at tea, trailing by 316 while following-on on the fourth day of the fourth and final Test against India when play was called-off following bad light. This is the first time since 2005 that Australia is following-on. Opener Marcus Harris (2) Usman Khawaja (4) were at the crease when umpires called for the break.

Earlier, Kuldeep Yadav starred once again with the ball to help India restrict Australia to 300 runs. Kuldeep ended the first innings with a five-for while Mohammed Shami and Ravindra Jadeja picked up two wickets each, and Jasprit Bumrah got a piece. Virat Kohli’s Gesture of Pink Bat and Pads During Sydney Test Impresses Glenn McGrath

India enjoyed their command as the morning session was washed out due to persistent drizzle and bad light. The visitors took the new ball as soon as the second session started. Pat Cummins and Peter Handscomb, who were holding the crease for the hosts on the third day, resumed the first innings for Australia. To get an early breakthrough, Shami dismissed Cummins (25) on the third delivery with the new ball.

Bumrah took his first wicket of the match in the name of Handscomb (37).
