Welcome to day four at the MCG

Michael Doyle profile image

Good morning and welcome to the four day of this Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

The brilliance of Nitish Kumar Reddy yesterday gave India the spark they needed to still believe that can get something out of this game.

Australia is still ahead by 116 runs and only needs one more wicket to start their second innings.

But India’s terrific batting yesterday has them believing that anything is possible.

I’m Michael Doyle and I’ll be bringing you all the action along with Chris De Silva and the rest of the ABC Sport team.
