“It is going to be a massive challenge obviously,” Carey said, while adding, “We will put a fair bit of focus on that first hour of cricket and then we’ll see how that unfolds.”
Australia, after scoring 480 in their first innings, were 3/0 at the end of day four and trail by 88 more runs in the second innings. While India would be looking to make early inroads come tomorrow morning to bowl out Australia, the visitors would be looking to cut down the lead and take out any chances of their loss.
Notably, Australia already have lost the chance of winning back the Border-Gavaskar trophy after losing the first two Tests. The visitors currently trail 2-1 in the four-match series. India, however, might make a push for the victory as a win will guarantee them a place in the World Test Championship (WTC) final.
