Bad light halts play in Australia-India Test

SYDNEY, Jan 5, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Bad light halted play at the Sydney Cricket
Ground Saturday with Australia struggling on 236 for six in the fourth and
final Test against India.

Dark clouds had been building all afternoon, and the players left the
field with 16.3 overs remaining for the day.

Peter Handscomb was not out 28 and Pat Cummins on 25.

India declared their first innings late Friday on 622 for seven.

They lead 2-1 after victories in Adelaide and Melbourne and are fast
closing in on a historic first-ever series win since they first toured
Australia in 1947-48.
