INDIA WIN BY 8 WICKETS!!WOW - what a win this has been after that Adelaide disappointment. One of character, resilience and outstanding grit. Who would've thought they would respond in the manner that India did after that loss in the opening Test?

Ajinkya Rahane led from the front with a spectacular century to give India a solid lead before the bowlers once again did the job for India. Both debutants in Siraj and Gill shone through with Siraj getting among the wickets, while Gill led the chase at the end.

Australia's frailties with the bat showed up once again. They have some positives to take from the loss, however. The bowlers bowled beautifully in parts, but were left unrewarded because of poor fielding, Cameron Green was impressive, and the lower order stood up with the bat to keep them alive.

All in all, it was a spectacular game for India with Australia losing the plot after that batting performance in the first innings after choosing to bat. Expect a few changes for the next Test for them as well. Hope you enjoyed the Test and will be back for the third wherever it may be! Thank you and goodbye!




























A series-levelling win is just around the corner for India who have bossed the Boxing Day Test so far across three days outplaying Australia in all departments. So much so that they find themselves there despite having been a bowler short on the third day's pla y after Umesh Yadav was out of the field with a calf injury. Yet, the available quartet didn't complain; they went about their business in the same clinical way that they have throughout the Test. After India took a vital 131-run lead on the back of skipper Rahane and Jadeja's, the bowlers stood up to reduce Austalia to 99/6. What looked like an impending innings defeat was avoided by the duo of Pat Cummins and Cameron Green, who added 34 runs before stumps were drawn.

Australia lead just by 2, but it can be just about making progress, one small step at a time early on Day 4 for them as they seek to keep India at bay. Can they do it and help Australia build on that lead and give them just something to contend with? We'll find out very soon. Hello and welcome to Day 4 of the Boxing Day Test. India will really want to wrap up Australia's innings and get those last early in the day. Pressure is a funny customer. You never know how things may turn out if Australia manage to stretch their lead into three figures or such here. That's a long shot though...However, you never know with Test cricket. It can always throw you surprises. A good session here in the morning for Australia and you never know... Anyway, join us in a bit.
