IND vs AUS / Change in the timing of the fourth test, what time will the match start on the fourth day

IND vs AUS: The excitement of the Boxing Day Test between India and Australia, which started on 26 December at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, reached its peak on the third day. Host Australia dominated for the first two days, but on the third day Indian batsmen Nitish Reddy and Washington Sundar tried to change the course of the game.

Australia's brilliant performance

The Australian batsmen had strengthened their hold on the match on the first day itself. Steve Smith's classical batting won the hearts of the audience, who scored a brilliant century and took his team to a big score of 474 runs in the first innings. This score of the Australian innings was a big challenge for Team India.

Indian innings' slow start

Indian batting got off to a bad start. The opening batsmen returned to the pavilion cheaply, and the team lost their 5 wickets within 159 runs. However, Nitish Reddy and Washington Sundar took charge in the middle order and pulled the team out of trouble.

Nitish Reddy's first Test century

The highlight of the third day was Nitish Reddy's century. He batted with a great mix of patience and aggression and scored his first century in Test cricket. His innings has emerged as a new hope for Indian cricket. At the same time, Washington Sundar also strengthened the team by scoring a half-century. Even after Sundar was out, Reddy stood firm and took the innings beyond 350.

Rain and poor light became a hindrance

The game on the third day was interrupted due to poor light and rain. The game was stopped at 11:55 Indian time and rain started a few minutes later. Due to this the game had to be ended 1 hour earlier. Due to the loss of about an hour of play, the game on the fourth day will be started half an hour earlier.

Weather condition

The weather is expected to be clear on the fourth day. There is no chance of rain in Melbourne on Sunday, December 29, although it may be cloudy. The weather is expected to remain normal on the fifth day as well, giving fans a chance to enjoy the entire match.

What will Team India do?

Now it will be interesting to see how much the Indian team is able to reduce Australia's lead with 1 wicket remaining on the fourth day. Will Nitish Reddy be able to bring the team into a strong position, or will the Australian bowlers wrap up the Indian innings soon?

This match going on in Melbourne has thrilled cricket lovers. The fourth day's play will decide in which direction this test will go and whether the Indian team will be able to move towards creating history.
