AusVsInd 4th Test Live: Pujara, Rahane keep Australia at bay as rain threat looms large

India added 62 runs yet lost both their openers on the second evening after Australia were confined to 369 at Lunch. Both Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma took a gander calm on a decent batting surface however the speed and ricochet on offer implied that the bowlers were consistently in with an opportunity. 

Rohit however was excused in the profound off Nathan Lyon, who got the show on the road to turn in and constrained a bogus shot. Until that point, the India opener had glanced in charge, driving down the ground and stopping anything and wide of off-stump. It was the 6th time he tumbled to Lyon, the most he's been excused by anybody in Tests. 

Gill, then again, was liable of playing excessively far outside off-stump, and on a pitch, for example, this, he was never going to pull off that. Pat Cummins drew the external edge that serenely conveyed to the subsequent slip. Until that point, India had glanced consistent and in charge. 

Inexperienced attack lands punch to keep Australia in check

Prior, it was another morning of what-uncertainties for India, who picked 3 wickets for 4 runs at one point as expected however allowed Australia to pull off a 39-run represent the 10th wicket. Notwithstanding that, the hosts were at risk for getting bowled out for under 350 on the subsequent morning, which would have been a significant accomplishment for India's unpracticed bowling assault. 

However, Lyon started a few draw shots in his 100th Test and drives straight down the ground followed before long. The offspinner scored 24 runs off 22, Mitchell Starc contributed an unbeaten 35-ball 20, and Australia could get done with 369 hard and fast. India regularly battled to pick the last wicket, which added 15 runs before T Natarajan returned and shut down that with Josh Hazlewood's wicket. 

Rainstorms are estimated during the last meeting of play in Brisbane.
