Extraodinary last-wicket stand this between Akash Deep and Bumrah

Bumrah and Akash Deep are all smiles as they walk off. They walk back to a heroes' welcome. The Australian players trudge off as well, looking like the unhappier of the two teams. They have toiled away but failed to enforce the follow-on. And while that's largely down to the half-centurions KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja, it's also down to this unbroken 39-run stand for the final wicket.

At the end of Day 4 of the Brisbane Test, India is trailing Australia by 193 runs, having scored 252/9 in response to Australia's 445. The match has been heavily affected by rain since Day 1, and Day 4 was no exception. With only one day remaining, both teams still have a full innings of batting left, meaning the match is heading towards a draw.

On Day 3, India had finished with 51 runs and 4 wickets down. Lokesh Rahul, who was unbeaten the previous day, was dismissed for 84 runs on Day 4, which became the highest score for India in their first innings. Rohit Sharma, who batted at No. 6 the previous day, was dismissed for just 10 runs in the first session.

Ravindra Jadeja played a crucial role, forming partnerships of 67 runs with Rahul and 53 runs with Nitish Kumar Reddy, helping India recover from a precarious position. Jadeja scored 77 runs in his innings. Jasprit Bumrah is unbeaten on 10 runs, while Akash Deep remains not out at 27.

For Australia, Pat Cummins took 4 wickets, while Mitchell Starc claimed 3 wickets.

In the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 5-match Test series between India and Australia, both teams have won one match each, leaving the series tied at 1-1. For India, a victory is crucial to secure a spot in the World Test Championship final.
