M Shami to Paine, Ouch! Gets him on the back! Bouncer on middle and leg, doesn't rise that much and Paine who is looking to duck under the ball gets hit on his back. No real worries though.

M Shami to Paine, FOUR! Rusty from Shami after the break. Strays down the leg side and Paine flicks it away really fine for a boundary.

We are back for the final session of Day 4. Could possibly be the final session of the game too if things go India's way. Australia have their hopes pinned on Travis Head and Tim Paine who are making their way to the middle. The latter will take strike on the first ball. Mohammed Shami to bowl. A very straight short mid on in place, almost on the pitch.

... Fourth Day, Evening Session ...

09:45 (IST) Dec 29

Much like the spinning ball, it's been a gripping session of Test cricket. In 28 overs, 94 runs were scored for the loss of 3 wickets. The Indians have gone about their business in a rather professional manner. They did face some resistance, but eventually they got what they desired. Khawaja went first, followed by both the Marsh brothers. Shami, Bumrah and Jadeja all got one apiece, and they are now against the last recognized batting pair of Head and Paine. There's a bit on banter going in the middle between Pant and Paine, there even came a time when the umpire had to intervene, but nothing's gone out of hand so far. So, is it just a matter of time now? No sign of any rain either to help out the hosts. This evening session could be the last one of this game, if more of the same follows. Don't go anywhere, it will begin shortly.
