IND vs AUS Live
Welcome to our live coverage of the World Test Championship final between India and Australia at The Oval. It is Day 3 and it has not been a good 48 hours for the Indian team. After being denied wickets on the opening day as Travis Head and Steve Smith went about merrily, the second day witnessed their batting come under pressure. Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Cheteshwar Pujara could not go beyond 15 runs. Ravindra Jadeja provided resistance alongside Ajinkya Rahane before exiting to a Nathan Lyon delivery. It is now on Rahane, KS Bharat and Shardul Thakur to extend this effort.
India will start from 151/5 and trail by 318 runs. That's a massive ask. Play to get underway in a little over an hour from now.
India vs Australia Live Score, WTC Final Day 3: Ajinkya Rahane and KS Bharat will get India’s fight to survive underway on Day 3 of the World Test Championship against Australia. Shardul Thakur to follow is the last recognised batter before the tail kicks in. India are 318 runs behind and the first objective should be to avoid follow on.
India vs Australia, WTC Final Day 2 Recap: Steve Smith and Travis Head scored centuries each before Pat Cummins sparked India’s collapse in the World Test Championship final on Day 2.
Smith struck his 31st Test century and eventually perished on 121 as Australia mounted a massive 469 runs at The Oval.
With a huge task ahead of them, India produced a horrid show with the bat. Soon after start, fast bowler Cummins removed opposing skipper Rohit Sharma to initiate India’s slump.
Rohit was adjudged lbw to a full-length ball from Cummins, who had close figures of 1-36 in nine overs.
Four balls later, India were 30/2 when Shubman Gill (13) was bowled playing no shot to Scott Boland after being deceived by a sharp off-cutter.
Cheteshwar Pujara was bowled leaving a delivery from all-rounder Cameron Green and Kohli was undone by a wicked, lifting ball from Mitchell Starc that took the bat, with Smith taking an excellent leaping catch above his head at second slip.
Left-hander Jadeja provided some resistance with an aggressive 51-ball knock featuring seven fours and a six.
But he perished to off-spinner Nathan Lyon, edging a well-flighted and turning delivery to slip in a tame end to a stand of 71 with Ajinkya Rahane.
India were reduced to 151/5 at stumps, facing a huge deficit of 318 runs.
