OUT! Caught. Pat Cummins to Jasprit Bumrah. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to mid wicket, caught by Starc. That's the final wicket. Sam Konstas and Usman Khawaja rush to the dressing room to get padded up. India have been bundled out once again below 200. India won the toss and opted to bat first, but the pitch favoured the seam bowlers. The Australian bowlers exploited the conditions and ran through the Indian top-order relatively cheaply. Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja steadied the ship with a decent partnership, but Scott Boland picked up back-to-back wickets to swing the pendulum Australia's way. Mitch Starc and Pat Cummins cleaned up the tail. Join us for Australia's innings shortly.

FOUR! Washington Sundar to Beau Webster. Off break length ball, off stump down the track driving, well timed past long off for 4 runs. Australia wins a Test series against India for the first time in ten years! What an incredible series, especially after their initial setback in the first Test.

Australia showed remarkable resilience, bouncing back in Adelaide, delivering an engaging performance in Brisbane, and creating unforgettable moments in Melbourne and Sydney. There's so much to celebrate, and the future looks bright for both teams!
