98 runs on 163 balls, this partnership between Marnus- Wade is hurting now. Shardul thakur leaking runs and going 4.50 per over, Rahane need to be careful with the run rate Aussie scoring right now, almost 5 runs per over in last 10 overs. Its seems Marnus is set for big 100 this time.

Wade is gone, with Natarajan getting his first wicket. But Labuschagne got his century before that. He got out for 91 in Sydney, but managed to get in to three digits this time. Now it is up to Cameron Green, to provide support for Labuschagne. After Green the tail will start, with Paine in such pathetic form. Australians must thank the quota policy of South Africa. Without the South African import, India could have whitewashed Australia in this series.

Labuschagne got out but damn this guy is really talented and really loves to make runs against every freaking team.

Natarajan baba got the both wicket (Labuschagne and Wade) Nice debut for Nattu.

India is back in the game again.

Aus : 213/5

Breaking the partnership between Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith was the big task for the Indian bowlers, and they managed to do that. Now the Aussies are in backfoot. Labuschagne is still there, but there is a chance that he will soon run out of support. Middle order batsmen like Matthew Wade and Tim Paine are in very poor form right now. I would have rather asked Cameron Green to bat ahead of Wade.

Even though they are in bad form they can able to manage to build a partnership there.OZ trying to face more balls as much as possible so the bowlers can get exhausted then it is possible for them to go for runs at the later of this session.

Good effort from Indian bowlers though even when everyone is inexperienced and almost everyone debuted on this series. Cool

So basically India came up with the India A bowlers against the mighty Aussie. Siraj is senior bowler (3rd match) in this bowling line up, it tells you complete story. 2 bowlers were net bowler (Sundar +Natarajan).. What a turnaround in this squad.

Rishabh Pant is back to drop some catches as a wicket keeper

Oh boy! Did he drop something again?

-----------
Holy shit Sundar got the big fish... Smudge gone!!!

------
Labuschagne dropped by Rahane. Lips sealed

Excited to see Thangarasu Natarajan making his test debut. Always thought that he has the potential to become a permanent member of the national squad. And the openers failed once again for Australia. Both David Warner and Marcus Harris failed to get to double digits. And as usual, it is left to the pair of Marnus Labuschagne and Steven Smith to rescue the team. The 3rd wicket partnership has made 48 runs till now.

Once again this pair is saving team AUS from the fall and successfully doing it now, each bowler is new face but still performed well until now.I think India would be happy about their first innings bowling performance but their real task is to break the partnership between Labuschagne and Smith to get them into low total as possible. The match is about to resume in the next few minutes so let's see how the pacers are going to make a strategy.

Coming into this match the team winning the toss will choose batting.

Australia won the toss and elected to bat as expected. Rishabh Pant is back to drop some catches as a wicket keeper and the surprising change is the inclusion of Washington Sundar and Australia is also having a change as Marcus Harris is replacing the injured Will Pucovski.

The match depends upon how Natarajan, Saini, Siraj, Shardul Thakur and Washington Sundar bowls as they are completely new faces and i am curious how they will perform.

It looks like T Natarajan and Washington Sundar will make their debut for India and the full squad is still unknown. The last match was a blessing in disguise for India and in the first innings the focus was on the dropped catches of Pant and i did not notice that they replaced the wicket keeper with Saha until i read an article recently and that changed a lot of factors in favor of India who took three great catches and i was not aware of the rule change of substituting a wicket keeper which helped India.

Coming into this match the team winning the toss will choose batting.

Its a shame that Will Pucovski will miss the final test match as his career is just getting started. He makes way for Marcus Harris which I think is a good selection as Burns is in poor form and might not ever play test match cricket again. Its been a long while since it has come down to the final test match for a team to win the series in Australia as normally the series is wrapped up by now with Australia mostly winning in Australia so its going to be a great match to watch.

Yes I agree with you and I think this is the sole reason why even the selectors have selected him in the team. Obviously his bowling is considered pretty similar to that of Bumrah but I feel Bumrah's short run up and slinging action was the reason for his success too nevertheless test cricket is not like T20 cricket it always rewards the bowler who is best with his line and length.

The success of Jasprit Bumrah is his line and length and his control and Natarajan showed his control with his line and length in the T20 format and until you give the bowlers a chance to perform in the longer format you never know whether he will be successful. The difference between Test and the rest of the format is the endurance and stamina in the longer format and you need a smart captain to understand the weakness of a bowler and never burn them out.

Not sure about the Indian line up, reports are coming out that Cheteshwar Pujara injured his hand during net session and considering this to be a fast bowling friendly wicket it is going to be a difficult task for India.

One more injury? C'mon man without Pujara our middle order can't wait play even 70 overs. What's this thing with injuries in Australia never have I ever seen such a long list of injuries on single series. But coming back to bowlers for tomorrow. i think a few people are even expecting Sharadul Thakur in place of Bumrah. Because if India decides to play with 5 bowlers too chances are only 3 would b pacers. And can't deny the fact that Sharadul Thakur has been great with his line & length too. I think Pujara's injury might be the reason that even the playing XI announcement has been delayed until toss

For anyone interested, here in Brisbane it was a cloudless day, not overly hot day, but tonight (it's after eleven local time) it's very hot and humid. There's a severe storm forecast for Sunday. Originally storms Saturday evening through late Sunday, but now just Sunday. If it keeps being this hot and cloudless, then it'll be a corker of a downpour (brief, but heavy).

Together with the number of players injuring themselves and the storm having the potential to delay things (and both teams in Covid lockdown in the same hotel (think late night revelry)), I'm seeing the fourth test being a draw. (Even if Warner stops mucking about and starts playing)

It funny t watch some news that Indian team is waiting to create a history in Brisbane but they don't even know how many players were injured in the playing squad and actually have to go with all the remaining players just to meet the 11 eligible players. Cheesy

Is anyone also watching the Test match between SL and ENG?

Just checked it on Google and found the probability of winning is more inclined towards SL and not ENG. This will be an interesting match to watch as I was expecting the English team has a good chance. SL has won the toss and chose to bat first

Sri Lanka had a horrible series in South Africa and therefore I would consider England as the favorites. But the latter is playing without some of their key players. Right now Sri Lanka is struggling at 22/2, with Stuart Broad picking up both the wickets (his test wicket tally has now increased to 516). Surprisingly, England has chosen two spinners in the playing XI (Dom Bess and Jack Leach).

After end of first day England is in complete control as they restricted Sri Lanka on 135 very good bowling by Broad 3/20 and Bes on his best with great figure of 5/30 career best now in batting England 127.2 with Root and Bairstow on crease 110 runs partnership look like they can win this match by an ining because Sri Lanka is far away from their best currently no one able to handle this all for them in test matches.

Not watching but commentary is on in the background...

Galle stadium is SL stronghold and heavily favors the spinners and they are playing with the 3 spinners.

No update on Indian squad, only speculation. On the other hand Will Pucovski is also injured and Marcus Harris is going to replace him as opener along with Warner.

Pucovski made one good contribution, and now he is gone too. Marcus Harris was dropped because of poor form, and he performed poorly during the warmup matches as well. But I guess Australia is running out of options now. Anyway, irrespective of the outcome of the 4th match, this series will put them in a very difficult position as far as the World Test Championship is concerned.

Feel bad for Pucovski but he's young so nothing to worry about much. Marcus Harris made some runs in Sheffield and he's opener, Burns already wasted the opportunity so Harris was obvious choice.

@Vishnu.Reang Win the toss and bat first, anyone heard anything on weather forecast?

As per the weather prediction, first day will be largely sunny and clear. But for the remaining 4 days, heavy rains are predicted. Expect a loss of at least 150-200 overs as a result of rain. That means unless there is a batting collapse effecting one of the sides, the chance of getting a result from the fourth match is very minimal. BTW, January is the wettest month of the year, in Brisbane and the surrounding areas. CA scheduled the match there, only due to the ongoing pandemic.

Normally they start every tour from there because every visiting team struggle there. Glad that BCCI dozed the bullet and playing last game at the Gabba Grin
