MELBOURNE: Australia took an incredible seven wickets after tea on day five to win the fourth test against India by 184 runs and take a 2-1 series lead into the final match in Sydney.

India were coasting on the back of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant’s partnership through the entire middle session but crumbled in front of a mammoth crowd of 74,362 to be all out for 155 at Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Australia captain Pat Cummins and fellow pacer Scott Boland finished with three wickets apiece, with spinner Nathan Lyon chipping in two on a dramatic final day which was tinged with controversy over the use of the decision review system (DRS).
