Key Stats
89.3 Ishant Sharma to Nathan Lyon
OUT! Caught. Ishant Sharma to Nathan Lyon. Short, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, top edge to wicketkeeper, by Pant. Ishant does the job as Lyon can't resist the short ball. Feathered through to Pant and India win by 137 runs and retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, as well as winning their 150th Test match. It was slightly nervous this morning as rain kept them off the field but once they got out they only needed 27 deliveries to get the job done.A brilliant performance all round from the Indian team with a century from Cheteshwar Pujara in the first innings and then nine wickets in the match for Jasprit Bumrah. Credit to Pat Cummins though who scored 80 runs and took nine wickets but came out on the losing side.All eyes now on Sydney on the 2nd January as India seek to become the first Indian team to win a Test series on Australian soil. The Aussies will have something to say about that and they might have a few new faces in the XI. Do join us then.

Hello and a warm welcome to the fifth and final day of the third Test. India fans might be slightly nervous now we have lost a whole session due to rain but play is about to eventually start much to the delight of the MCG crowd. Scattered showers are also forecast later on but for now we have a break in play and India will want to finish the game quickly. Only two balls are required for them while Australia will look to keep out as many deliveries as possible with a slim possibility of a draw still on the cards, or even a victory.
84.6 Mohammed Shami to Pat Cummins
Mohammed Shami to Pat Cummins. In-swinging length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, inside edge to mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Bumrah. We are coming back tomorrow. Not many people would have expected that at tea but Australia have fought back hard and taken the match into day five. Pat Cummins has to take plenty of credit for his gritty 61, which is a Test best, as he kept the Indian bowlers at bay for over two hours. India will be slightly disappointed they couldn't finish it off today but they have three sessions tomorrow to take two wickets. Only a serious downpour can prevent them from retaining the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. See you tomorrow for the fifth and final day.
