India vs Australia 4th Test Day 3 Live Score: Reddy powers IND's counter-attack to fiery AUS bowlers, 244/7 at Lunch

India vs Australia Match: Australia dominated the first half of the third day ind vs Aus test match, but Nitish Kumar Reddy sparked hope for India with an aggressive 40 run performance coming from 61 balls when lunch was called. Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja started well until Pant attempted a strike on Scott Boland, unfortunately leading to his dismissal, and leaving India a daunting 280 runs behind.

A century partnership between Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal failed to put India ahead. Now, India's optimism relies on Rishabh Pant's past performance and Ravindra Jadeja's improvement from the last Gabba Test.

Reddy led a solid push from India, but Australia ended the first half ahead, taking the wickets of key players Pant and Jadeja, which left India on their last recognised batting duo. Reddy's commendable performance saw him claim 40 from 61 balls when lunch was announced, with India at 244/7 and still 230 runs behind Australia. Despite a positive start from Reddy, risky moves between wickets marked India's play.

Pant lost his wicket due to a failed attempt against Scott Boland, leaving India 280 runs behind. Jadeja secured his opening runs after 24 balls. Unfortunately, Jadeja was dismissed by Lyon. India's remaining all-rounders hold the hope. Test cricket is known for its volatility, and it was proven once again in the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

A flurry of wickets had India struggling, putting Australia in a winning position with the potential for a 2-1 lead in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. India ended the second day with India vs Australia live score of 164/5, trailing by 310 runs. Pant and Jadeja would be facing Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins under fresh conditions. The remaining batting pair of Nitish Kumar Reddy and Washington Sundar – both exceptional performers and the current duo's run scoring ability keeps the hope alive, even with an intimidating 310-run line against Australia's solid inform attack.
