India reached 326/7 on Day 3 of the 4th Test against Australia, trailing by 148 runs, as rain forced an early Tea at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Nitish Kumar Reddy (85* off 119) and Washington Sundar (40* off 115) forged a crucial 105-run eighth-wicket partnership, countering Australia’s pace and spin. Despite early setbacks, including the dismissals of Pant and Jadeja, India avoided the follow-on. Reddy showcased resilience with his maiden Test fifty, while Sundar provided solid support. The rain interruption leaves the game delicately poised, with India looking to narrow the gap further on resumption.
