It is still Australia's to lose, but what a contest it has been. There was some surprise that Australia batted for as long as they did, setting India a mammoth 444. But Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma started beautifully, as did Cheteshwar Pujara, before they became India's three wickets to fall. Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey: "We've got the runs on the board that we wanted. It would definitely have been nice to have taken a couple of more wickets but they played well, so we've got to come back and push on tomorrow." On Cameron Green's catch: "It looked good from where I was. I thought he caught it fair and square. He was pretty happy with it, so yeah, the right decision was made." On India's opening stand: "No, it's never nice seeing our bowlers go at sixes for that amount of time but we pegged them bag after that and it's goi...

2.20pm India have gone 2-0 up in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and have all but ensured they will face Australia again in the WTC final. Hope you enjoyed our coverage as much as we did bringing it to you. Until next time, this is Deivarayan Muthu signing off on the behalf of Andrew McGlashan and Chandan Duorah. Take care and cheers. Pujara speaks to Star Sports: It has been a great Test match. Unfortunately I did not get enough runs in the first innings. It [scoring the winning runs in my 100th Test] is a special feeling and my family is still watching the game. We've won this game and it's the last boundary in a winning cause and we're still looking to win the next two matches. Oh lovely, congrats to all the guys (on his domestic side Saurashtra winning the Ranji Trophy). I was following the scores, but after lunch I couldn't follow the scores. Great effort from the team. I thought we [India] might end up chasing 200-250, but the kind of lengths...Yesterday, it didn't go our way and we conceded too many runs in the last session. The way our bowlers did today was incredible. If you look at this pitch, it [the sweep] is not an ideal shot to play with low bounce, but I've worked on it. With my game, I use my feet well and try to judge length as early as possible. I've always done that throughout my career. Not really, it was the initial phase when you walk out to bat. Some balls spun and some went straighter. Once you play 30-40 balls, it's a good pitch to bat. Once the ball ge...

LONDON, June 10 (Reuters) - Australia were within touching distance of capturing the World Test Championship title as India's hopes of chasing down a monumental 444-run victory target appeared to be slipping away after they ended day four on 164-3 on Saturday. When Australia captain Pat Cummins declared their second innings on 270-8, the challenge that lay ahead for India looked insurmountable. With Shubman Gill (18), Rohit Sharma (43) and Cheteshwar Pujara (27) back in the pavilion and the deficit cut by only 93 runs, many were left wondering if India would even be able to stretch the match into a fifth day. Indian fans will do well to block out the statistics listed in the record books which suggest they have been set a mission impossible. India will have to pull off the highest-ever successful fourth-innings run chase if they are to win their first global ICC trophy in 10 years. West Indies set the record when they chased down 418 to beat Australia in Antigua in 2003. India's task looks even more daunting since the highest-ever successful run chase at The Oval is 263, which England achieved against Australia more than a century ago, in 1902. However, following Australia's declaration, India came out fighting, with skipper Sharma timing the ball sweetly as he stroked a number of boundaries and even launched a spectacular six. But by tea, they were down one man after Cameron Green took a spectacular, if controversial, left-handed diving catch to dismiss opener Gill from a...

Australia is firmly in control of the ICC World Test Championship match against India, holding a lead of 318 runs with India five wickets down in their first innings. The Australians were bowled out for 469 in their first innings, with Travis Head (163) and Steve Smith (121) putting on a record 285 for the fourth wicket — the highest-ever fourth wicket stand in a Test at The Oval. Facing a daunting total, India were reduced to 4-71 after Rohit Sharma (15), Shubman Gill (13), Cheteshwar Pujara (14) and Virat Kohli (14) all fell cheaply. A 71-run stand between Ravindra Jadeja (48) and Ajinkya Rahane (29 not out) helped steady India until Nathan Lyon (1-4) came on to dismiss his fellow spinner during a vital two-over spell just before the close and leave India with serious work to do to salvage anything from the game. Read more Smith wasted no time in reaching his 31st Test century and third in four matches at The Oval in the first over upon the resumption, while Head followed soon after by passing 150. The Aussies looked set to establish a huge lead at that stage before Head gloved a short ball down the leg side to Bharat. Cameron Green came and went for just 6, but the hammer blow to Australia's chances of batting big came when Smith played on to the first ball of Shardul Thakur's spell for 121. That left Australia 6-387, but minor contributions from Mitch Starc (5) and Pat Cummins (9) helped Alex Carey advance to 48 before he was adjudged LBW attempting to sweep Ravindra J...

India, for all its financial clout and hoo-ha around its cricket, lost yet again when it mattered the most, as its underwhelming record in ICC tournaments continued with a 209-run hammering by Australia in the WTC final here on Sunday. Australian pacer Scott Boland produced a bowling spell of rare quality to get rid of Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja in the same over, effectively shutting the door on India, who were bowled out for 234 in their second innings on the final day at The Oval. Australia were clearly the better team on all fronts while India had only themselves to blame for yet another loss in a global event. India’s last ICC title came way back in 2013 and it was their second successive defeat in the WTC final, having gone down against New Zealand two years ago. India lost seven wickets for the addition of 70 runs on the final day.

The top four comprising Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara and Kohli failed to deliver in the high-stake game. Chasing a record 444 at The Oval, Indian fans went into day five high on hope with Kohli (49) and Ajinkya Rahane (46) walk...
