A contentious catch from Cameron Green, a settling innings from Alex Carey and some lower order hitting from Mitch Starc. Here are the main talking points from day four of the World Test Championship final.
Even Cheteshwar Pujara, the immovable wall of Rajkot at number three, came out and punched boundaries freely off his bat.Perhaps, in the land of Bazball, the aversion of playing for a draw is rubbing off on the visitors."Rohit is arguably one of the white-ball greats," former Australian opener Justin Langer said on ABC Radio.
This is a pitch that has favoured the pace men, given the variable bounce — Lyon only bowled four overs out of 69.4 in India's first innings. Ravindra Jadeja bowled 18 of India's 121.3 in the first innings for 1-56, but he managed a team-high 23 for 3-58 in the second innings.More bumps and bruisesAs Australia compiled their runs in the morning at a steady 3.19 runs per over, Pat Cummins had to weigh up the risk/reward ratio of being out there on a pitch that was misbehaving as much as it did on day three.
And although that continued on day four, he shared some of the bruises around on another glorious Saturday morning in the English capital.
