OUT! L.B.W. Nathan Lyon to Mohammed Siraj. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot working, hit pad. It's Over! Australia secured a thrilling victory in Melbourne, defeating India by 184 runs. After losing three quick wickets following the Tea break, the game seemed to be slipping away, but credit goes to Washington Sundar. He played a crucial role in supporting the well-set Jaiswal at the crease during a challenging phase, just as he did in the first innings alongside Nitish Reddy. Pat Cummins was the standout bowler for Australia, taking two crucial wickets in a single over during the first session and later dismissing Jaiswal when his side desperately needed a breakthrough. Travis Head may have failed to make an impact with the bat in this match, but he played a crucial role with the ball, dismissing Pant at a pivotal moment which is the turning point of this match. For his all-round performance across both innings, Cummins is deservedly named Player of the Match. That's all for today. Thanks for joining us!
