🏏India vs Australia - 4th Test: NMS, Ahmedabad: Day 5 - Page 29🏏 - Page 4

Unlike the first 3 Tests, this hasn't been one-way traffic as far as the bowlers are concerned. The pitch is on the drier side, but it hasn't misbehaved in any manner. Spin, if any, has been minimal and there's hardly any alarms off the surface. The two batters have applied themselves superbly, run-scoring hasn't been easy, but they've kept themselves busy. India have rotated their five bowlers around, have been very disciplined and have played the waiting game. Having been accustomed to easy fruit pickings, this could be difficult for the spinners and the two batters will hope that they tire out in the post-tea session. Back at 2:30 pm for the final session..
