No play before lunch in Australia-India Test
SYDNEY, Jan 7, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Light rain prevented any play before lunch at the fourth and final Test in Sydney Monday with Australia needing to bat out the last day to salvage a draw.
They were six without loss at stumps on a weather-affected fourth day on Sunday after being forced to follow on by India.
Australia were dismissed in their first innings for 300 in reply to India’s 622 for seven.
Marcus Harris is not out two and Usman Khawaja is on four.
India lead 2-1 and are closing in on a historic maiden series win in Australia
