6-0India lead by 316 runs ScorecardAustralia face a last-day battle to save the final Test after being forced to follow on by India in
Sydney.The hosts resumed on 236-6 in reply to India's 622-7 but lost Pat Cummins to the sixth ball of day four, and Peter Handscomb soon
followed for 37.The tail offered some resistance but left-arm wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav (5-99) wrapped up the innings for 300.Australia
were 6-0, still 316 runs short of making India bat again, when bad light and rain ended play early.Only 25.2 overs were possible on a
rain-hit day, meaning that the final day will start half an hour early, at 23:00 GMT on Sunday, with commentary on TheIndianSubcontinent
Radio 5 live sports extra.It was the first time in 30 years Australia had been forced to follow on in a home Test, but openers Marcus Harris
and Usman Khawaja had faced only four overs before the umpires halted play just before the scheduled tea interval, and no resumption was
possible.That was frustrating for India, who lead the series 2-1 and are aiming for their first Test series victory in Australia since they
began touring in 1947-48.Did you knowBefore this game, Australia were last forced to follow on in a home Test by England in the one-off
Bicentennial Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground in January 1988, which finished as a draw
The Ashes were not at stake.On a day when disgraced former captain Steve Smith and vice-captain David Warner - banned from international
cricket for a year following last March's ball-tampering scandal in South Africa - were opposing skippers in a Bangladesh Premier League
match, Australia's struggles with the bat were laid bare once more.After rain wiped out the first session on Sunday, faint hopes remained
when Cummins and Handscomb resumed their partnership - but fast bowler Cummins, who has shown ability with the bat in this series, was
bowled by Mohammed Shami with the second new ball.Handscomb, the last recognised batsman, added nine to his overnight score before being
bowled by paceman Jasprit Bumrah, who is now the joint leading wicket-taker in the series with 21.Nathan Lyon fell lbw to Yadav next over
without scoring as Australia chose not to use a review despite having two available, leaving Mitchell Starc (29 not out) and Josh Hazlewood
(21) to add an unlikely 42 for the last wicket.But the follow-on target of 423 was still well out of Australia's grasp, and India captain
Virat Kohli had no hesitation in asking them to bat again after Hazlewood became Yadav's fifth victim - his second five-wicket haul in only
his sixth Test."It hurts, you never want to follow on in any cricket match," said Handscomb."It's huge for us to push for the draw tomorrow
We've got a really good chance to shift some momentum back into our camp - not just for the one-dayers coming up but for the World Cup and
the Ashes - if we can last this day and show the country, show the world, that we're not far from being a really good team."India fans in
Sydney held up their mobile phones, with lights switched on, when the players were taken off for bad light
