Australia vs India Boxing Day Test Day 3: Emotional scene leaves MCG stunned

Tears flowed as a youngster brought up a huge career milestone in an incredible fightback from India in the Boxing Day Test.

India produced an outstanding fightback before the weather intervened in an enthralling Boxing Day Test at the MCG.

Australia started day three intending to knock India over cheaply and carry a significant first innings lead into its second dig.

But Nitish Kumar Reddy (105 not out) and Washington Sundar (50) had other ideas, reeling off a gallant 127-run stand for the eighth wicket to turn the pressure back onto the home side.

Nathan Lyon finally made the breakthrough, dismissing Sundar after his 162-run stay at the crease before Jasprit Bumrah fell for a duck while Reddy was stuck on 99.

But Mohammed Siraj survived for seven balls and allowed the 21-year-old to bring up a maiden Test century as the deficit was reduced to just 116 runs.

A rain delay brought an early tea and another one led to stumps on Saturday, but the forecast is looking great for what should be an incredible day of cricket on Sunday.

With the series tied at 1-1, and Australia needing to win the series to regain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, it’s all to play for in Melbourne.

Virat Kohli was also involved in another big talking point as his difficult time in Australia showed no signs of slowing down.

See how all the big moments unfolded below.
