Australia v India

New Guy falls early followed by Smith - down the leg side.

MN5

Well, at least this test match is slightly more evenly poised

Wondering how all those cracks are going to affect things tomorrow - cooler weather predicted, mind

Immediately after the 3rd umpire makes his decision footage suddenly emerges which proves him wrong - though wouldn't have mattered anyway

NTA

Interesting to see what happens when the batsmen actually fucking apply themselves

No Quarter

I'm surprised Bumrah has only played 41 tests, feels like he's been around a lot longer than that. His numbers so far are frankly ridiculous, best bowler in the world at the moment.

Spectacular numbers.

I always found it weird that Pakistan could produce genuine world class quick bowlers like Imran, Wasim, Waqar and Shoaib but India never have until now.

Ashwin gets ~~Head~~ Marsh with a phantom edge. Wild!

Edit: and neither Head nor his partner reviewed! He must have been convinced he hit it - but it was pad. Crazy times

NTA

Lol Siraj going the verbal after Head scores 140.

Shut up you dumb fuck

NTA

I was out at dinner last night so missed half the day's play.

The wicket of Gill is classic Starc

The wicket of Rohit is absolute magic by Cummins

NTA

India 5 down for -29 sounds good. Gotta finish the job now, with Pant and Reddy very capable of getting them back into the head with rapidity.

NTA

Target 19 and Waj gets the last one.

10 wicket win.

MN5

Starc shoulda been MOM I reckon

Nice work Australia coming back to square the series

( he said bitterly and jealously from NZ )

Has Aus ever lost a pink ball test? Opposition batsmen can't seem to handle it

Rapido

Think they lost last year in pink ball v Shamar Joseph at Gabba.

Only 1 from 13 or 14 tests or something

Pink Ball tests are basically a guaranteed Aus win before a ball is bowled

NZ should have a Black ball test

( Black Caps, All Blacks, Tall Blacks, Black Ferns….)

It would be awesome !!!

Bowling career averages would go through the roof

You just got kicked in the balls twice in the last fortnight so I imagine they're almost black already.

How much more punishment can they take?
