LIVE India vs Australia, 4th Test, Day 4: Lunch Break
Lunch on Day 4 will consist of India's 73 for 1 after a slow session in Ahmedabad, where only 32 overs were bowled. The Test's recurring theme continued as only one wicket fell in the morning session, with Jadeja losing his patience and holing out to mid-on. The runs have been hard to come by due to disciplined bowling, resulting in a slow run rate. Kohli is just 12 runs away from his 28th Test century, and all eyes will be on him during the post-lunch session. Despite being 118 runs behind, and with only five sessions left, a draw is the most likely outcome.
LIVE India vs Australia, 4th Test, Day 4: Drinks Break
I would say that the initial hour of play has been divided between the teams. Australia would have been thrilled with the gift of Jadeja's wicket. Although there is some turn, it is not insurmountable. Kohli is currently on 70 and will likely aim to remain at the crease for as long as possible. However, India's strategy of playing aggressive cricket may be impeded by Iyer's injury concerns.
LIVE India vs Australia, 4th Test, Day 4: Jadeja Out
Jadeja departs, caught by Khawaja off Murphy's delivery. His lack of patience has cost him as he attempted to hit a tossed up delivery but only succeeded in finding the fielder at mid-on. This was a simple catch for Khawaja. Earlier in the over, Jadeja had attempted a similar shot but had gotten away with it. However, this time he was not so fortunate and has paid the price for his shot selection. Jadeja and the Indian team will be disappointed with this dismissal, as he had scored 28 runs off 84 balls including 2 boundaries and a six. Murphy gets the wicket column with this dismissal.

LIVE India vs Australia, 4th Test, Day 4: Pitch Report
The current pitch conditions show a lot of cloud cover and the cracks on the surface have not yet opened up. Additionally, the lack of rough for Lyon may be due to Starc's usage of round-the-wicket tactics. The best opportunity for making progress will likely come with the new ball. Overall, it seems that the conditions favour batting today.
LIVE India vs Australia 4th Test Day 4: What happened on Day 3?
On day 3, India scored 253 runs while losing three wickets. Although satisfied with their batting performance, the game would have been more intriguing had they scored at a slightly faster rate. Rohit Sharma fell in the first session to Kuhnemann, caught at covers. However, Pujara and Gill's crucial 113-run partnership for the second wicket helped India steady the innings. Gill achieved his century in the post-lunch session, but Pujara was dismissed lbw by Murphy in the same over. Gill and Kohli then contributed well, but Gill's concentration waned due to cramps, and he was eventually dismissed lbw by Nathan Lyon. Despite this setback, Kohli and Jadeja survived the second new ball, which was taken towards the end of day 3. India is still 191 runs behind, and the hosts will aim to score quickly on day 4.

It's Murphy bowling to Pujara, and he's been given out Lbw! This decision looks very tight! However, Pujara has taken the review. Is there an inside edge? Murphy has bowled a flighted delivery from around the wicket, which dips on a length and turns in from the middle. UltraEdge shows a flat line as Pujara tried to defend the ball but was beaten on the inside edge. The ball hits his front pad low and is projected to crash into the middle and leg stump.

Murphy delivered an outstanding ball that narrowly missed the inside edge of the half-centurion's bat and bounced over the stumps.

"Usman Khawaja should be in that 100 Test match category. He's played 59 Test matches, I reckon that he is 40 short of what it should have been, and that is due to his underwhelming body language. He is similar to someone like Mark Waugh. He was so stylish that the word soft' was invented. He was so sharp and good, just like Khawaja," said Hayden.

Probably not yet. You never know when it would happen. But very grateful. Uzzy helped me a lot. Was really special to have him at the other end. We get to go to MRF tours as young Australia players. May be we just have a great group of players in the change room. I think this is a different style of batting. In Australia you try to get more in line with it. Head is very aggressive with the new ball. I thought may be had a good chance to score runs with the new ball yesterday. I just tried to pick up how the Indian bowlers went about it. You have to swallow your ego on this wicket. I will may be do the holding role tomorrow and let the spinners do their bit.

After choosing to bat first, Usman Khawaja struck a brilliant 180 and Cameron Green scored his maiden Test ton to take Aussies to total of 480 in the first innings. Khawaja displayed great amount of patience and immaculate technique to battle it out against spinners, winning more of these contests than losing.
