Repeat of Headingley Test?

As they say "History Repeats Itself" no cricket pundit or expert would have ever thought that the shadows of Headingley test match in 1981 would haunt Kohli and Co. It was the 3rd day of the second test with visitors putting up a Mammoth score of 443-7. The declaration raised eyebrows as Rohit Sharma was batting on 63 and was looking well set for another Hitman hundred. The overnight score of Australia was 8-0 as the day ended.
It was the 3rd day of the boxing day test and the Aussie batters wanted to start their run chase on a positive note but Jasprit Bumrah had some other plans . He ripped the Aussie middle order and bagged a 6-fer for 33 runs became the first Asian bowler to take fifers or less in SENA ( South Africa , England, Newzeland and Australia) also Jadeja , Shami and Ishant chipped in with wickets apiece the hosts could only manage 151- 10 before getting all out. The Indian openers were soon at the pitch to start the proceedings of the second innings as they looked to capitalize on the lead but the Aussie quick Pat Cummins ran through the Indian top and middle order with a hostile spell of 4-10 which brought back the memories of Headingley test in 1981 where Bob wills 8-46 inspired the English team to a dramatic win over the Aussies after conceding the first innings lead.
It remains to be seen if Pat

Cummins can do the repeat of the "Headingley test" or the visitors have some other plans.
