Oz forced to follow on before bad light ends play in Sydney
Jan 6, 2019
Sydney – A ruthless India took a stranglehold on the fourth and final Test in Sydney on Sunday, mopping up Australia’s tail and forcing them to follow on at home for the first time in 30 years.

Marcus Harris, not out two, and Usman Khawaja, unbeaten on four, survived four overs before tea was taken early for bad light. They didn’t come back with play abandoned for the day.
That brought Nathan Lyon to the crease but he only lasted five balls, out lbw to a full toss from Kuldeep Yadav.
It would be a deserved accomplishment with their batsmen — spearheaded by stoic number three Cheteshwar Pujara — a class above, and their bowlers brutally exposing Australia’s weaknesses.
