Watch: Same Delivery, Same Result As Babar Azam Falls To An Unplayable Ripper

It was deja vu all over again for Pakistan batter Babar Azam as Australia pacer Josh Hazlewood sent him packing with a ripper on Day 4 of the ongoing Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday.

He took a nasty ball to the ribs that needed treatment, but was undeterred and raced to a gutsy 50 before Cummins again came to Australia's rescue with his seventh wicket of the match so far.

The highest-ever successful fourth innings run chase at the Melbourne Cricket Ground was 332-7 by England in 1928, with
