Match resumes, all eyes on Nitish Reddy and Washington Sundar

IND vs AUS 4th Test LIVE Score, Day 3: Just before the end of the session, rain hit MCG, and forced early tea. By the time the third session started, things did not improve much as rain continued to disrupt proceedings. For now, India are 326/7 with Nitish Kumar Reddy at 85 and Washington Sundar at 40. Finally, the final session started at 10.30 AM.

The visitors started the third day on a positive note with Rishabh Pant playing his strokes. But as has been the case with Pant, he hit one audacious shot too many and perished. Nitish Kumar Reddy then joined Ravindra Jadeja and has looked steady ever since. Nathan Lyon finally came into play as well, sending Jadeja back for 17.

Since then, Team India has avoided the follow-on with Reddy and Washington Sundar unbeaten on 85 and 40. That trail was over 300 before the day’s play, and now India is less than 150 behind. Meanwhile, rain has arrived in Melbourne, but from the looks of it, it’s a passing shower.
