IND vs AUS 4th Test Day 5, Live Score: 2024 will close in all but a dramatic finish for India and Australia at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground on Monday.

A frustrating whole passage later, India found themselves staring at a massive 333-run lead for Australia as last pair Nathan Lyon and Scott Boland accumulate more than 50 runs.
