Nathan Lyon snagged the 10th wicket just before half past five Melbourne time.

Lyon ’s 10th -wicket partnership with Scott Boland in the third innings ended up being 61 , adding only six of those after resuming on the fifth morning, and costing Australia four overs to do it.

India 's target from a high 200s score, one that would have felt possible, to 340 .

So something ends, even before the final stanza. India may yet keep the trophy at 2-2 if they can rebound from disappointment, but their sequence of winning series in Australia is over. Now we are in the territory of retaining trophies, of honours shared. Their hopes of making the World Test Championship final also rest on winning in Sydney . There is still much to play for, and often enough, the result comes down to an educated guess..
