Watch: Umesh Yadav claims Labuschagne’s vital wicket to keep India in the hunt

India got off to a good start on the fourth day of the World Test Championship final against Australia with pacer Umesh Yadav picking up the vital wicket of Marnus Labuschagne in the third over.

The good length delivery around off-stump suddenly reared up and Labuschagne ended up edging it to the slips where Cheteshwar Pujara brought off a superb catch.

This was followed up by Ravendra Jadeja dismissing Cameron Green making it the 6th wicket to fall in Australia’s second innings.

Australia had gained a first-innings lead of 173 runs. They scored 469 runs before bundling out India for 296.

Australia now have a lead of over 350 runs and have lost 6 of their top order batters. India will have to restrict the Australia batters as much as they can to stay in the game.
