WTC Final: India Still Staring Down The Barrel
AUS vs IND WTC Final Day 3: A century partnership for the seventh wicket between Ajinkya Rahane and Shardul Thakur on the third day of the World Test Championship final against Australia saved a follow-on and face for India.
But it is still an uphill climb for India to save the Test.
In their second venture, Australia weathered the fire and fury of Mohammed Siraj - which fetched the early wicket of veteran David Warner - and extended their first innings lead of 175 to close to 300. Only a most sensational collapse will bring India into the reckoning.
At draw of stumps on Day 3, Australia were 123/4, leading by 296 runs, with Marnus Labuschagne (41*) and Cameron Green (7*) holding fort.
