Boxing Day Test LIVE updates: Series in the balance on day four in Melbourne

Good morning cricket fans.

I’m Vince Rugari and since it’s that weird period between Christmas and New Year’s, I genuinely don’t know what day it is.

But I do know that it’s day four of this cracking Test match at the MCG between Australia and India, and it is my solemn duty to man the blog for our live coverage.

Things are delicately poised. India are 9-358, trailing by 116 runs in their pursuit of Australia’s first innings score of 474.

One more wicket and Sam Konstas and Usman Khawaja will be back at the crease hoping to put this one out of reach of the visitors. But things need to happen quickly for Australia.

Play is due to start at 10am AEDT after yesterday’s early finish due to bad light.

Strap yourself in, grab yourself another massive chunk of ham off your Christmas leftovers (it’s still good! It’s still good!) and let’s get into it.
