Alex Carey, the Australian wicketkeeper feels that his team need to stay patient as they look to defend 280 runs and take seven wickets on day five at the Oval. India, who were set a target of 444 by the Aussies, have scored 163/4 by the end of the day’s play on day 4.
India had a better start to the second innings with Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma adding 41 for the first wicket. They scored at a fair clip till Gill was ruled out controversially from a catch by Cameron Green. Gill and Rohit Sharma were both left unconvinced of the decision.

“(The pitch) is still doing bits and pieces, but hopefully those chances will come,” he added.
