4th Test: Jaiswal, Pant Keeps India Afloat In Chase Of 340
Boxing Day Test: Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant batted 27.5 overs together to stitch a defiant, unbroken stand of 79 runs to keep India afloat in the chase of 340 against Australia on last day of the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
At tea, India have reached 112/3 in 54 overs, with Jaiswal batting on 63 off 159 balls, his second fifty of this game coming with a mix of attacking shots and solid defence. Pant, meanwhile, is 28 not out off 93 balls and has shown unbelievable restraint.
The duo’s efforts have meant India are in a serious chance of ending the Melbourne Test with a drawn result, especially with the second new ball 26 overs away. The post-lunch session began with Jaiswal playing back-to-back controlled cut shots to take boundaries off Scott Boland, followed by hitting the same shot for a similar result in the pacer’s next over.
