India on back foot after late wickets and Smith ton: 4th Test, Day 2 (MCG)

Virat Kohli once again was at the heart of all the drama at the MCG after his runout of Jaiswal led to a flurry of wickets before stumps.

Jaiwal (82) has added 102 with Kohli (36) when the needless run out occurred. India lost 3 wickets for 6 runs and ended on 164-5 with Jadeja on 4 and Pant on 6.

Earlier, Steve Smith scored a record 11th century against India, driving Australia to an imposing 474 all out. He and Cummins (49) added 112 at almost a run a ball.

India 164 for 5 (Jaiswal 82, Kohli 36, Pant 6*, Jadeja 4*, Boland 2-24, Cummins 2-57) trail Australia 474 (Smith 140, Labuschagne 72, Konstas 60, Khawaja 57, Cummins 49, Bumrah 4-99, Jadeja 3-78, Akash Deep 2-94) by 310 runs.
