Australia reached 123 for four at stumps at the end of third day of the World Test Championship final against India on Friday, lead by 296 runs and Counting.The Indians were bowled out for 296 in their first innings, having resumed from overnight 155 for five at The Oval. The Australian pacers did well to restrict India at 296 taking lead of 173 runs.

WHAT HAPPENED ON AUS VS IND WTC 2023 THIRD DAY:

India were saved the blushes somewhat on Day 3 thanks to a valiant seventh wicket stand between Ajinkya Rahane and Shardul Thakur. The pair put up 109 runs off 145 balls and ensured that India lost just one wicket in the first session.

However, the stand didn’t survive too long in the second session with Ajinkya Rahane falling to Pat Cummins on 89 thanks to a screamer catch at gully by Cameron Green. Thakur fought on and reached a half century before falling on 51 to Green.

India were eventually all out for 296 and Australia took a first innings lead of 173 runs. David Warner then fell early as Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami came in all guns blazing. Marnus Labuschagne and Usman Khawaja then survived the 11-over burst before Tea and Australia were 23/1 at the end of the session. Khawaja fell soon after resumption after which Steve Smith came in and switched gears for Australia. He and Labuschagne put up 62 runs for the third wicket and seemed to have completely shut down any chances for India when Smith suddenly went for a big heave against Jadeja and perished. Travis Head also fell to Ravindra Jadeja without scoring too many.

Cameron Green and Labuschagne then saw Australia through to Stumps. They continue to be firmly in control at the end of the day despite runs being hard to come by. Australia are 123/4 and lead by 296 runs.

AJINKYA RAHANE AFTER POST MATCH-

Painful but quite manageable (blow to his finger). Don’t think it’ll affect batting. Happy with the way I batted. Had a good today. We were looking to get 320-330 but overall we had a good day. Bowling wise we bowled well. Everyone chipped in. That was a really good catch. We all know he’s a really good fielder. Has a big reach. Australia slightly ahead in the game. For us it’s important to be in the moment, play session by session. First one hour will be crucial tomorrow. We know funny things can happen. Jadeja bowled really well, footmarks helped him against the left-hander. Still feel wicket will help seam bowlers.
