Australia faced a batting collapse on day four of the MCG Test against India, losing four wickets for a mere 11 runs. Siraj and Bumrah wreaked havoc on the Australian batting order, with Marnus Labuschagne surviving several close calls.

Australia loses four quick wickets as the batters struggle to build a match-winning lead on day four of the MCG Test against India . Siraj to continue. He's into the fifth over of his spell which started all the chaos with the wicket of Smith. He's got two fielders in close on either side of Cummins. The Australia n skipper might have some leather to sniff here.FOUR! So of course what does Siraj do with that field? He bowls one full on off stump, go figure. Cummins off the mark with a boundary.

Marnus tries to break the shackles by gliding one past point for a boundary, but picks out the fielder instead.Australia has lost 4-11 in the last 22 deliveries. Absolute madness. Marnus drives the first ball through the vacant point region for a couple. Akash Deep is down there at deep backward point, I'd like to see him inside the ring.Siraj with an absolute SEED. Marnus is beaten for the umpteenth time today. I have no idea how he's not nicked one of these.Marnus is having one of those lucky days that he tends to have. Another ripper from Siraj just outside off stump. The ball whizzes past Marnus's edge agai
