This test is on a knife edge at the moment. If these two can stay in for 35 of the remain 70 odd overs, I think they will win.

If the wickets don't come Aussie should be able to slow the scoring on this pitch

That's true as they are still attacking.

The second new ball should do the trick for the Aussies which is under 18 overs away.

OK, I may have over-reacted when saying it was on a knife-edge!

This is a nice game to watch with both teams in with a chance!

[KiwiMurph]

@Hooroo Certainly. Indians are putting in a fine effort here.

What a battle with Pujara! That was a hell of an over

[NTA]

@Hooroo another slips catch falls short. Happened all series with Pujara's soft hands. Stand up closer!!!

I reckon Siraj did the right thing. In fact that's exactly how the process should work if a player thinks they are being abused.

He stopped the game, and told the authorities what he thought he heard. That allowed a real time investigation, where witnesses could be questioned as well. And it turns out he obviously misheard something, because there was no racist abuse.

The alternative is what has happened in the past, waiting until the end of the day to make a accusation well after the fans have filed out, abusers and witnesses alike. That makes it almost impossible to find out if anything did occur, and if so to hold the perpetrators accountable.

Now it probably took 5 minutes too long, but at least we got an outcome where for once we seem to know what was said and by whom. If we can keep that process it will lead to far better outcomes for everyone, as it will better punish people who abuse players, but also better protect fans where something might be misheard or taken in the wrong context.

@barbarian also reminds everyone that the chances of being misheard are reasonable so take care with your words.

[Hooroo]

This is kind of perfect batting for a result. One guy essentially shutting up shop while the other plays more carefree but not recklessly. Do that for another session and the final session will be on a knife-edge

@Hooroo if Pant is there for the next 25-30 overs, they might get there. Under 3 and a half an over needed from here.

Analysis of the dropped catches, nek minnut. Dropped catch

[ACT Crusader]

Wow, a big wide. In a test match...

@NTA out of interest who would keep next test if Paine got suspended?

Carey would come straight in. He'd be there now if Australian cricket wasn't full of cheating, crying morons 😉

What are the TAB odds currently? ( @Tim ) who always seems to have them at hand

1.61 Aus
2.50 India
6.80 Draw

Moving fast though

[Gunner]

If India can get the runs required down to under 100 without losing any more wickets they’d have to rate their chances of nabbing the w here.

[Hooroo]

Are we on a knife-edge yet? I'm feeling it kind of is now?

@Hooroo 🐐

Pant gone
