18.6 Jasprit Bumrah to Ben McDermott

Over 19. 10 runs. Bowler: Jasprit Bumrah. Australia: 7-132(rr 6.95)

18.6 Jasprit Bumrah to Ben McDermott

FOUR! Jasprit Bumrah to Ben McDermott. Yorker, off stump backing away Steer, well timed past third man for 4 runs. What a shot! Brilliant invention from McDermott. The last ball was a fantastic yorker. McDermott guessed it would be the yorker again and it was. The ball was crashing into the base of off stump but McDermott gave himself a bit of room and ran the ball off the face of the bat and it whistled past Pant to the boundary! Rain is still coming down here in Melbourne. It looks like we will lose Australia's last over. Every time we get close to a restart the rain comes again and prolongs the delay. Hopefully we will be able to get underway soon with India chasing some sort of revised target. Well sadly the weather has won out here in Melbourne. We are now past the cut off time by which the game needed to have restarted and rain is falling once again. The fans are heading home, denied the opportunity to see India's big names with bat in hand. Australia might count themselves slightly lucky as India will have backed themselves to chase down any sort of revised target with ten wickets in hand. That leaves Australia ahead in the series with just one game left to play. Until next time, that's all from me.
