Australia vs India fourth Test: Start time and how to watch free
A thrilling Border-Gavaskar Trophy series will finally be decided in the fourth and final Test in Brisbane.
India's fighting, against the odds draw in Sydney means they enter the fourth and final Test against Australia locked at 1-1. India batted all of the fifth day at the SCG for the loss of just three wickets to save the Test, a terrific effort against Australia's bowling attack.
Another draw in Brisbane would be enough for holders India to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Australia need to win and will play with real urgency.
Home captain Tim Paine has also come under extreme heat for his behaviour in the third Test. Paine has apologised for swearing at umpire Paul Wilson and sledging India star Ravichandran Ashwin.
When is the Australia vs India 4th Test?
The Test runs from Friday 15 January to Tuesday 19 January at The Gabba in Brisbane. Play starts at 10am local time (11am AEDT) each day.

Who will win Australia vs India Gabba Test?
Unfortunately India will be severely understrength for this momentous match. Already without captain Virat Kohli, Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav, Ishant Sharma and KL Rahul, the tourists lost three more key players to injury in Sydney.
Ravindra Jadeja (thumb) and Hanuma Vihari (hamstring) are all out, while Rishabh Pant (elbow), Jasprit Bumrah (abdominal) and Ashwin (back) are also carrying ailments.
India – a cricket-mad nation of 1.36 billion people – are blessed with enormous playing depth. They are also showing tremendous character in Australia, bouncing back from the 36 all out embarrassment in the second Test and fighting through multiple injuries.
But we think they have now lost too many match-winners to deny Australia at their Gabba fortress. Incredibly, Australia have not lost a Test in Brisbane since 1988.
