    WTC Final: Carey's Fighting 43 Extends Australia’s Lead To 218 Despite Rabada, Ngidi Three-fers

    ICC World Test Championship Final: Wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey made a fighting 43 as Australia's lead swelled to 218 runs after reaching 144/8 in 40 overs at stumps on day two of the ICC World Test Championship Final against South Africa at Lord's on Thursday.

    Australia captain Pat Cummins had earlier given his team a vital 74-run lead after his sensational spell of 6-28 led to South Africa being dismissed for 138 earlier on day two. Though Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi took three-fers, Carey’s timely knock, laced with five boundaries, ensured Australia went past 200 in terms of lead.

    From being in tatters at 73/7, Carey’s knock, along with his critical 61-run stand stitched with Mitchell Starc, has ensured that Australia could be favourites to retain the mace ahead of what could potentially be the final day of the 2025 World Test Championship final.
