24.1 to M Labuschagne, and Shami produces the wicket immediately. Goes really full, seam-up, Labuschagne tries the drive but his front foot is stuck on the crease. It is a half-volley, he should be able to cover it, but it seams in appreciably to beat his inside edge and uproot the off stump. India right back in it. 76/3
94.2 to C Green, gone, and India are fighting back here. Terrific line and length from Shami. Goes wide on the crease to create an inward angle on the fullish ball outside off stump. It finishes quite wide, but perhaps gives Green the illusion that it's close enough for the drive. It isn't, and he goes at the ball with an angled bat. Thick edge flies towards the shoulder of Shubman Gill at second slip, and he takes it superbly, reverse-cupping it while falling to his right. It was travelling at some speed. 376/5
28.3410843.7812515031
3.4 to UT Khawaja, Khawaja gone for a duck. Siraj on the board. Khawaja is not sure he has edged it, but Warner tells him he heard something. It is that wobble-seam delivery from Siraj. Perfect line and length. Make3s him play around the off stump, and it nips away to taker the edge. 2/1
91.1 to TM Head, and there's the wicket. The short-ball plan finally comes off. It's short, attacking Head's hip, and he shuffles across to try and whip it fine, but all he manages is a brush of glove on the way to the keeper, prompting a sudden rise in decibel levels in the stands. 361/4
119.5 to NM Lyon, bowled him. Short ball followed by full, and Lyon's left foot doesn't go anywhere as he looks to slog it away, probably aiming through or over mid-on, and the ball sneaks under his angled bat to hit off stump. Third wicket for Siraj. 468/9
121.3 to PJ Cummins, four for Siraj. Finishes the innings with a good slower ball. Into the pitch, just back of a length outside off, and Cummins, looking to flat-bat it, ends up hitting it straight to the man at extra-cover. Rahane is the fielder, placed perfectly to take his 100th catch in Test cricket. 469/10

2348323.609912004
21.4 to DA Warner, gloved down the leg side! Great catch by Bharat! Warner throws his head back. Short ball angled down leg, rib high, he tries to pull, it just tails away from a touch and brushes the bottom of the glove, Bharat diving to his right takes a great catch. Big breakthrough. Warner looked in great touch. 71/2
98.1 to SPD Smith, chopped on! Smith gone! Out of nowhere. Innocuous 131kph, good length outswinger, no need to play, Smith lazily pokes at it to knock it into the off side and gets a thick inside edge that ricochets back onto off stump! Smith throws his head back dismayed at the mistake.. 387/6
1825613.11766100
114.4 to AT Carey, big lbw appeal as Carey brings out the reverse-sweep. He's playing it from a stump-to-stump line, and that's dangerous, as he discovered during the India tour. Not given by Chris Gaffaney, and India have reviewed. Ooh, this looks close. It straightened rather than turning sharply, so I don't think this is missing leg stump... No bat or glove either... Let's see what ball-tracking has to say. Pitches on middle and off, straightens, and it's hitting middle and off two-thirds of the way up. Excellent review from India, and Jadeja has made an immediate impact today. Carey is dismissed in familiar fashion, and I'm not sure he should be reverse-sweeping from the stumps anywhere, let alone on a pitch where the ball isn't turning a lot. 453/8

18.2 to V Kohli, got him, Starc joins the party with a monster of a delivery. Slanting across Kohli but finishing tight on off stump, forcing Kohli into defending, and then just leaping from a length to hit the shoulder of his bat and loop up to second slip, where Smith takes an excellent overhead catch. Not a lot Kohli could have done here. Perhaps he committed too early to the front-foot press, though. 71/4
69.4 to Mohammed Shami, this one ends the innings. Sharp bouncer, angling in, cramping him up, taking the glove through to Carey as he has a hook at it. 296/10
2028334.158610106
5.6 to RG Sharma, given lbw! Looks plumb. Rohit walks off after a chat with Gill. No review. 140kph, good length, nipping back a touch, he's caught on the crease and hit just above the knee roll infront of middle. Height the only question. Definitely wasn't going down leg.. 30/1
61.6 to AM Rahane, they have dropped easy ones, but Green has now pulled off a ripper at gully. This is short of a length, has some width, the field is up, Rahane has a punch at it, gets a thick edge, and Green dives to his right, sticks the big mitt out, and catches it clean as a whistle. The ball is past the line of his body when he takes it. You beauty. End of a terrific knock, but that century on Test comeback is not to be. 261/7
65.5 to UT Yadav, how do you play that? I have been banging on about top of off because that's exactly what is happening. This ball is proof. It has seamed away ever so slightly to beat Umesh who is playing the angle. And then it hits the top of off. Cummins is a special special bowler. 271/8
2065922.95958100
6.4 to Shubman Gill, bowled not offering a shot! Boland has stopped India in their tracks. Nine dots and Gill is unsure whether to play or leave, he leaves one angling back and crashes into off. He had to play at that. It did nip back a touch but his natural angle is bringing the ball back in. Bad decision. 30/2
38.2 to KS Bharat, well Boland is back to hitting top of off in two balls. On a length, sixth stump, seams back in, beats the inside edge, hits the pad and ricochets into the top of the stumps. Perfect start for Australia. 152/6
1214423.66484012
13.5 to CA Pujara, wow. First it was Boland to Gill, now it's Green to Pujara. Identical. On the fuller side of a length, pitching not a long way outside off, and seaming in to hit the top of off stump after the batter misjudges the line and leaves. Green has struck a massive, massive blow. 50/3
68.3 to SN Thakur, the golden arm of Green. Bowls the sucker ball, draws Thakur into a big drive, and swings it away to take a faint edge. It is an outswinger but Thakur feels it is full enough to go at it. It is not quite, and there is enough time for it to swing away. A courageous innings comes to an end. 294/9
401914.75143000
34.3 to RA Jadeja, edged to slip! Beautiful delivery from Lyon. 92kph, flighted outside off with some drift in luring Jadeja to play, he prods at it on the front foot, Lyon extracts some spin and bounce to catch the edge and Smith pouches it with ease. Classic offspinner's dismissal. 142/5

82.6 to MA Starc, gone. Similar ball to the previous one, fullish and angling into the fifth-stump channel nbefore straightening off the seam, and this time Starc's attempt to slog it over mid-on ends up as an edge that flies to Kohli at first slip. Takes it at waist height to his left. 260/7
84.3 to PJ Cummins, skied to point! Length ball outside off, Cummins cleared front leg and tried to launch down the ground but only succeeded in slicing it high to point and Axar cruises under it to take the catch. Cummins and Carey both run off the ground together. 270/8
2028014.00859111
3.3 to DA Warner, caught behind! Marnus wakes up! Wobble seam, perfect length, pitch on off, seaming away, Warner hangs back to try and force off the back foot on the up, gets a thick edge low to Bharat's left and he takes the catch well. Excellent bowling. 2/1
812102.62311000
1715423.17737000
14.1 to UT Khawaja, Umesh into the act now. India hanging in the fight. Not the best of deliveries, but there has been a string of good balls and few runs. Khawaja has a drive at a wide length ball, which angles away to take a feather through to Bharat. 24/2
46.4 to M Labuschagne, got him, that's a lovely delivery! Full, angling into the fourth-stump channel and curling away late. Marnus doesn't get forward - his feet are stuck, possibly an effect of the previous ball that bounced extra - and just feels for it. Edges it, and it flies quickly to first slip, where Pujara takes it two-handed at shoulder height. 124/5
2345832.521085100
30.1 to SPD Smith, horror shot! The unbreakable Smith breaks! He skips down the track early trying to launch and Jadeja went shorter and wider, he goes through with the shot and skies it high to cover, Shardul runs in from point to take the catch. Who would have predicted that. 86/3
36.3 to TM Head, caught and bowled! Head's frantic innings ends. Tossed into the footmarks again, he tries another extravagant cover drive against the turn out of the rough, he has not timed one so far, it spins and bounces to hit high on the bat and it floats back to Jadeja.. 111/4
62.6 to C Green, bowled trying to kick it away! Jadeja is smiling! This pitched outside leg, Green went to kick it away, or more so just let it hit his pad, but it spun and bounced sharply, it came off his motionless and bounced onto the stumps!. 167/6

20.4 to CA Pujara, gone, Cummins strikes! And another batter goes to an attacking shot! Bouncer, and Cummins' natural angle keeps it coming into the batter, following him even as he tries to lean away from the line for the uppercut. Ends up cramped for room, and the ball brushes the toe end of his bat and nestled nicely in Carey's gloves. It's a shot he plays pretty well, usually. 93/3
1624632.87747000
7.1 to Shubman Gill, Green takes another screamer! Left hand this time! Gill stands his ground. The umpires send it upstairs. The third umpire is checking for a fair catch. This was a good length and it bounced a touch extra, Gill jabbed at it with hard hands. The edge flew low to Green's left, he flings his huge left hand out and plucks it clean, but then his hand brushes the ground as he falls to the ground. The question for the third umpire is did he have full control over the ball. It looked fine. He had his fingers under it between the ball and turf. Out is the decision.. 41/1
46.3 to V Kohli, and they die down. The sucker ball. Full, wide. This is no error. He knows he has Kohli uncertain. He throws up that sucker ball. Kohli can't hold himself back. Has a drive at it. Thick edge, and Smith at second slip takes it diving to his right. 179/4
46.5 to RA Jadeja, two in the same over. Boland is ending it in a hurry. This is special bowling. Deadly accurate. Slight movement either way. This one pitches on a length, just outside off, and the ball seams away slightly against the angle. Takes the edge as Jadeja defends.. 179/5
1417725.505712101
56.2 to AM Rahane, caught behind! Starc shows his striking ability despite his expense! Good length, sixth stump line, Rahane looks to drive on the up as he has done all morning against Starc but this bounces a touch more and leaves him a fraction, catches the outside edge and an easy catch for Carey. Australia closing in. 212/6
60.2 to UT Yadav, caught behind! Cracking catch from Carey! A brute of a bouncer! 137kph straight at Yadav's head, he just gets his gloves up infront of his face and gets a touch on it, Carey jumps up at full stretch and plucks it one handed in his right glove.. 220/8

19.5 to RG Sharma, gone, Rohit plays an ill-advised sweep from a stump-to-stump line, and misses. He's reviewed umpire Illingworth's out decision, but this looked very out... Big stride forard, though, and Lyon does get a good amount of bounce. No bat involved. It's pitching on middle stump and straightening just enough to hit off stump, according to ball-tracking. Not the best shot Rohit has played. He was batting so well, now he's given Australia a big opening. 92/2
57.4 to SN Thakur, given lbw! This looks plumb! Thakur reviews in hope. Drifting into off from around the wicket, it pitched and spun down the line, Thakur played for less spin, it beat the inside edge and thumped into his front shin. Ball tracking had it smashing middle. No doubt. India lose the review. 213/7
61.5 to KS Bharat, And Bharat falls trying to hit Lyon out of the ground! Skied straight up. Tossed up high outside off, he tries to launch over long on against the angle, it skewed straight up and Lyon only had to take two steps to his left from his follow through to take an easy catch. 224/9
63.3 to Mohammed Siraj, reverse swept straight to backward point! Australia win the World Test Championship! Tossed up outside off, Siraj tries and ambitious reverse sweep and just scoops it straight to Boland. Australia celebrate their first WTC title. 234/10
