Hello and welcome to Sportstar's coverage of the fourth and final Test between India and Australia.

India and Australia have been involved in a slugfest of 11 series and here is a recap of how the series in Down Under, before the ongoing one, has panned out.

Day 4 updates:

Play was supposed to start 30 minutes early to compensate for the overs that were lost on Day three but rain and bad light meant the entire first session was lost. It forced the players to take an early lunch and when play resumed, India was on the money, with the second new ball.

Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah started the slide while Kuldeep Yadav claimed his second five-wicket haul (5/99) in six Test matches.

 

Australia is bowled out for 300 and with 322 runs behind, Virat Kohli enforced the follow-on and as Australia reached 6/0 bad light forced early tea and a break in the proceedings.

For the record, this is the first time Australia is following-on in a Test match, since 2005.

Play has been called off for the day. India will have another 98 overs, conditions permitting, to force an outright victory and claim the series 3-1.
