It will be a matter of time on the fifth day of the Adelaide Test before Australia seal off the 4-0 rout of India. We’ll bring you the live scores and commentary of the action throughout the fifth day of the fourth Test match, with the match starting at 10.30am local on Saturday.
Unless inclement weather intervenes, chances of an early finish on the fifth day are high.
Set a target of 500, India’s innings was the story of the series – they collapsed like they have with nauseating regularity this series.
Virender Sehwag had begun the tour with a half-century in the MCG Test and he ended the Test series with another glorious 62. His dismissal to Nathan Lyon, however, was anything but glorious.
The rest of the side fell away on a reasonably flat track, despite getting starts.
Apart from Gautam Gambhir, everyone else scored between 13 and 35 but none except Sehwag even got to a half-century.
Lyon picked up three wickets in his first real contribution and will have a chance to get a fifer against India on the fifth day. Ryan Harris returned to his best as well, picking two wickets and equally importantly not giving too many away.
With Virat Kohli departing in the penultimate over to a run-out, Wriddhiman Saha remains the only recognised batsman at the crease. His best hope would be to bat for as long as possible and get a not-out to his name.
Given the Indian tail’s ineptitude this series, it will be a surprise if they can hold for too much longer.
