IND vs AUS 5th Test Live Score: Things look extremely tough for India after they manage to add only 16 runs to the overnight total of 141/6 before losing the remaining four wickets. Pat Cummins and Scott Boland scalped two wickets each as India's second innings was folded for 157, which left Australia with a modest 162-run target. Ravindra Jadeja was the first man to be dismissed, getting caught-behind on 13.

Washington Sundar too failed to wag along with the tail and lost his wicket moments later against Cummins. Boland then removed Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah to wrap things as early as possible. Sam Konstas and Usman Khawaja started the Australian chase on a strong note as India dearly missed the services of Bumrah, who didn't take the field during the chase.



The Aussie opening pair added 39 runs for the opening wicket. Konstas then lost his wicket against a short delivery by Prasidh Krishna and got out for 22. Krishna then went to inject the second blow and removed Marnus Labuschagne for 6.

The pacer then removed Steve Smith for 4 to keep India alive in the contest..
