India's strong start in the Boxing Day Test at the MCG crumbled within 30 minutes, slipping from 153/2 to 159/5 due to a mix-up between Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli and poor decisions on Day 2. Australia now holds a 310-run lead.

Before you could say Rip van Winkle, India lost three for six in 22 deliveries to squander all the initiative wrested through hard grind and immense self-discipline, allowing the hosts to take the Boxing Day Test by the scruff of the neck.

India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, who made a breezy 118-ball 82 on the second day of the fourth Test against Australia, was way short of his crease after a mix-up with ace batter Virat Kohli (36) while attempting a quick single.
