CRICKET

INDIA are closing in on a first Test victory in Australia for 10 years.

Spinner Ravi Ashwin and paceman Mohammed Shami combined to tear through Australia’s top order on day four of the series-opening Test in Adelaide.

Shaun Marsh (31 not out) and Travis Head (11 not out) were clinging on after nudging Australia to 104-4 at stumps, still 219 short of victory.
