India Won By 8 Wikets
This has been an ongoing story from the first innings of the Ranchi Test. Irrespective of the situation, Rahane wants to go after it. In Ranchi, he got out trying to ramp one such delivery. In the first innings here, India were in a spot of bother when Rahane came in hooking and pulling, not fully convincingly. The second innings has been no different. He tries to pull one but it ricochets off his body and very close to the leg stump. Soon after he creams a hook to the boundary.
In the
next over, Cummins goes round the wicket for a bouncer barrage. Rahane responds
with a pulled six and then back-away-cut for six again. He also manages to keep
the hook down on the ground later. Cummins started by winning with the short
ball but Rahane is winning this round comfortably. India need just 22 more now Cummins is not backing down and it seems like the Indian batsmen are not
going to either. Rahane starts with a sumptuous straight drive and follows it
up with a pull to the midwicket boundary. Rahul is roughed up by two steeply
rising deliveries in the same over. This last few runs are going to see the
teams have a go at each other once again. Just like the rest of the series.
WICKET
Pujara falls for a duck! A lot of indecision between Rahul and Pujara. Both are left stranded in the middle of the crease. Maxwell swoops down from cover and throws down the stumps in a single motion
Cummins is good enough to get Vijay once again. Has him poking out at a delivery rearing up outside off, thin outside edge through to the 'keeper. It ends a 46-run opening stand
Pat Cummins could have had a wicket with his first ball of the day. Vijay gets a bit of glove on a short, rising delivery down the legside but there is no appeal. Wade took it after a fumble and raises his hand up but is not supported by his mates. Vijay survives and Smith is left frustrated on seeing the replays
Drop
Umesh could have had his fourth wicket but Ashwin drops a sitter and looks quite bemused after the drop. He's standing at slip in the absence of Rahul. Wade is looking to score boundaries at every given opportunity. He slashes and the edge goes straight to Ashwin who does not react at all. Wade proceeds to take six more runs from the over to take the lead over 100
