Travis Head gets out on duck Photograph: (X)
Australia and India are clashing against each other in the 4th Test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne. Australia won the toss and elected to bat first with two changes in the team. They included 19-year-old Sam Konstas in place of Nathan McSweeney and Scott Boland in place of Josh Hazlewood. India also made one change as they dropped Shubman Gill who was replaced by Washington Sundar.
Meanwhile, Travis Head, the top-scorer of the series so far, was unable to do wonders in the 1st innings of the fourth Test as he was bamboozled by Jasprit Bumrah’s terrific delivery. Bumrah bowled a back of a length delivery just outside off from round the wicket. Head tried to leave the ball as he thought that it wouldn't come inside. But, it just seamed in and hit the off-stump, sending Head back to the pavilion on a duck.

Indian bowlers made an amazing comeback
Talking about the match so far, the Kangaroos dominated the first two sessions of the first day. Debutant Konstas was the talk of the town as he played an aggressive knock of 60 runs which included multiple unorthodox shots. The no. 1 ranked Test all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja got rid of him in the 20th over.
Usman Khawaja also smashed a half-century but went back to the pavilion after scoring 57 runs. Marnus Labuschagne scored his second half-century of the series and was looking good but threw his wicket to Washington Sundar while trying to hit a big shot. He scored 72 runs including 7 fours.
The Kangaroos are currently at 250 for five with Bumrah claiming three wickets. The Indian bowlers have made an amazing comeback in the match and are looking to wrap up the Australian batting line-up under 300 or 320 runs. Steve Smith is currently in the middle with wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey.
