Paine dropped a catch and India needs some luck as well to survive these last few overs.

Tim Paine dropped three catches this morning and they dropped a total of four catches today alone and they cannot win matches dropping matches and India is putting up a bold fight and now less than 5 overs and even if Australia is able to pick a wicket now is it possible to take 5 more wickets. Jadeja will be coming out to bat next even though he is injured and this is going to be a draw until you see a hat trick Cheesy

.

@7788bitcoin I’m really surprised that they’re dropping so many catches, because Australian player’s often have high standards when it comes to fielding. Also I strongly feel that this match is going to end in an draw, and the credit for this goes to the Indian team as they gave their 100% to secure this draw.

10 overs remaining in the day and hopefully India could draw the match from this situation. Hanuma Vihari is playing a long innings to save the match and the commentators are telling that he is also injured not sure about that, if he is also injured what will be the team composition in the next match. Ravichandran Ashwin is playing his part and now Paine dropped a catch and India needs some luck as well to survive these last few overs.

The funny aspect is that Ravichandran Ashwin and Hanuma Vihari are communicating in Tamil and the Aussie players are trying their best to irritate them as well and a word battle is also going on in this match Cheesy

Yeah, Hamstring problem. Got hurt when he was taking single, that's why he's not taking any singles. Brave efforts from the Indian team, everyone is injured and still putting a good fight.. less than 40 balls to go.

IMO in next game Mayank is going to replace Vihari.

Less than 30 overs remaining now. Can they do it? The partnership between Hanuma Vihari and Ravichandran Ashwin has faced 87 balls till now and they look quite comfortable out there. Pat Cummins is struggling, and Nathan Lyon looks toothless with his ordinary spin. And there are rumors that Jadeja will bat, if it is required to save this match for India. I hope that may not be needed.

Now there are only 13 overs left in the match and I think most of the members have injured and very tough to bat, now Ravichandran Ashwin and Hanuma Vihari are in perfect touch with bat in order to draw the match both the team members are struggling to win the match. Already Jadeja padded up and has a chance to BAT, let's wait and see in what way this test match lead in the end.

Cheteshwar Pujara is gone, and what this means is that the tail has started for India (Jadeja in all probability is not going to bat). Hanuma Vihari is having a batting average of around 30, and I don't think that he has the capability to stay there with the tail-enders and score the required runs. It was Rishabh Pant who changed the course of the game, and once he got out momentum shifted again to Australia.

I did not expect Rishabh Pant to play like this because i thought he was injured and now the tail end players are in the crease, Hanuma Vihari and Ravichandran Ashwin is in the crease and India still need 119 runs to win and how long they can play depends upon their will to draw the match as they still have 30 more overs.

Rishabh Pant is scoring runs almost at a rate of one run per ball. The advantage is now with India and they need another 157 runs to win, with 7 wickets in hand. 51.5 overs remain now, and that should not be a concern. If India manages to win this test match (and thereby the series), then it is going to be historic. The Australian captain looks like he doesn't know what to do.

I was nervous throughout Pant's inning and at the same time enjoyed the counter attack..

Sadly he got out on 97. Poor guy got out on 90's 3 times in test format in his short career. He loves to live by sword and die by sword in the test cricket. One of the reason i prefer him in the longer format, he has capability of take away game from the opposition. I think they should always select him in the squad as a pure batsman when touring in SENA countries, especially in the Australia as he averages more than 50 there.

Tim Paine and his squad looked helpless when he was batting, they were very defensive against him.

262/4 ( Pujara- Vihari) Last batting pair for India, not sure if Jadeja is going to bat or not. I would say Vihari is batting for his spot now, if he fails here then he's going to get lot of criticism even from his fans.

5 day Test cricket is here to stay at least for some..

I thought that once Smith and Labuschagne went out that it was over for Australia getting a lead of 400 runs as the middle to tail order have been terrible in the series but finally the middle order performed well and put Australia in a strong position to win this test match. However I still give India a chance to win as long as the two batsman at the crease right now are able to form a big partnership. If they can form a 100+ run partnership then I think India can go on and win the match but if Australia get a quick wicket or two in the morning session then I can't see India playing out the day for a draw. I think we will see a result with one team winning.

Another testing time for the middle order. Don't mind losing the game but they should fight till the end and show some character.

The Australian bowlers will be hot in the morning and will intimidate their captain Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara as they are the senior most players and their performance determine how long India will resist the defeat. They have two injured players in the team and it is highly unlikely they will be coming out to bat and with a weak middle order this is the only established Test players and a wicket will expose the entire batting line up.

Now last hope is India need these two on crease for very long time or minimum for two sessions because 2 outs and 2 injured mean now very few opportunities available for me its still 50/50 for Draw/Australia but first hour play will give all clear message whats going to happen on last day of this very interesting test match.

Two of the most experienced batsmen are at the crease now (Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane) and if one of them gets out early, then it will be easy for the Australians to wrap up the Indian innings. And also, on the paper India is only down by two wickets. But actually they are down by three, as Ravindra Jadeja has dislocated his left thumb and may not be able to bat. Rishabh Pant also looks doubtful, due to elbow injury.

It is a tough task even for Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane to bat the entire day and India does not have the middle order strength to bat the entire day if there is a fall of wicket and Ravindra Jadeja will not come out to bat and Rishabh Pant injured his elbow and he did not field the entire day and even if he comes out to bat it will not make much of a difference as the Australian fast bowlers will pepper with short balls knowing he is injured.

This is exact same position of Team India who on 2nd day ended score nearly same on same with 2 wickets down. But very next day India's wicket continuously kept falling and thus could not make a big score. So same challenge would be tomorrow if they could play the first session with maximum losing 2 more wickets then chances of draw or India's winning increases else OZ winning chances looks high.

India made 98/2 and still they need around 300 more runs to win ? If India can play the first session tomorrow without losing the wickets, then for sure they could try for a win. The match has entered in a very interesting stage and anyone can win the match and/or it can be a draw too.

400 plus is an impossible target, especially when playing against world class bowlers such as Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood. On top of that, India is facing injury issues, with Jadeja and Pant unlikely to bat. For me, the outcome of the match is already decided and Australia will win the match and lead the series 2-1. Now the last match, to be played at Brisbane will be the series decider.

Test cricket indeed are of different league than of limited over games. India surely won't be trying to chase that target but to play the whole day for a draw while Australia would be trying to take away as many wickets as possible. It's not that playing aggressively on the final day haven't been tried on test cricket but most of the times, it have ended on undesired side.

I think if India do not lose any wickets in the first session or lose a maximum of one wicket then they have a chance to draw the match. Otherwise they will lose. India can learn from their previous innings mistakes. And may try to correct their own mistakes. They still have enough time.

There's no possibility of India achieving more than 300 runs in a day but it's probable that Australia maybe able to take the remaining wickets considering how they are bowling in this match. With Rohit Sharma out and a lot of runs from Australia to spare, they are likely to try different strategies to make Indian batsmen make a mistake. I'm predicting am aggressive bowling by Australian team tomorrow for a win.

Every time Indian batsmen looked set, No 1 bowler Pat Cummins comes in and said hi to them... Every single time, that's why he's no 1 test bowler. I felt that Rohit could have used his head this time and could have played the grounded shot but that was juicy ball.

Another testing time for the middle order. Don't mind losing the game but they should fight till the end and show some character.

Well said. Rohit is a great replacement on top. He isn't getting out in single digits like Shaw which leads to less pressure on the remaining batsmen. It's up to Rahane and Pujara now to stabilize the innings.

They resemble Marnus and Smith somewhat. If these two form a great partnership, India will have a much better chance of drawing or winning this one.

However, if Jadeja isn't available to play as mersal pointed out above, chances of India winning this one are minimal in my opinion.
