That is it from this game. It was a hard-fought game here in Sydney and this further creates an environment for the final Test. There were speculations of the final Test to be played at Sydney only after the Indian team's unwillingness to travel to Brisbane. But everything is sorted out as it is confirmed that the final Test will be played as per schedule at the Woolloongabba in Brisbane on Friday, 15th January 2021. Join us for that at 1000 local (1200 GMT). Till then, take care and cheers!
Australia skipper, Tim Paine says that they created enough chances to go for the win. Mentions that the bowlers bowled well and the dropped catches did not do their cause. He mentions that they are back as a batting unit and the bowlers created opportunities and says that it was a whole-hearted effort from the boys. He says that the young guys coming into the team were just brilliant and they look forward to the Brisbane Test.
India skipper, Ajinkya Rahane says that it was all about character and is really happy with the way they played. Mentions that there are a few things which they need to look at. He says that Rishabh Pant's innings was one of a kind as he played an attacking innings. Praises the efforts of Vihari and Ashwin. Mentions that Pant is fine and injuries are something that they cannot control. On Vihari's availability for the last Test, he mentions that it will be assessed before they take a call for the final Test at Brisbane.
STEVEN SMITH IS NAMED THE MAN OF THE MATCH! He says that it was a hard-fought game. India fought hard as the bowlers kept running into them. Says that the pitch was placid and there was less uneven bounce than they expected. Mentions that a century is always special at his home ground but says that he would have loved it if they had won. Ends by saying that he just absorbed the pressure and just observed the ball and played at it.
India began the chase of 407 on a positive note as Gill and Sharma managed to stitch a 71-run stand for the first wicket. Though Gill departed Sharma got to his first Test fifty as an opener in an overseas Test but he too could not continue as he departed after getting to his milestone. Pujara and Rahane saw of the day for the visitors as they took the game into day 5. Needing 309 runs for victory on Day 5 what unfolded was a sheer cricketing action of the highest level as the game ran down the entire day to end in a stalemate. To know the Man of the Match and captain insights, stay tuned for presentations...
Australia second innings was all about Marnus Labuschagne and Steven Smith as they once again added a 100-run stand as they both got to their respective fifties. Further to go by Cameron Green's maiden Test fifty and Tim Paine's 39 off 52 balls meant that Australia ended with 312 runs as they declared with a lead of 406 runs. Once again the Indian bowlers were on the receiving end as they were milked for runs. Bumrah and Siraj ended with a wicket each while Saini and Ashwin managed to get  a couple to their name.
India's reply in the first innings started with new opening pair of Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill stitching a 70-run stand. Though Rohit departed, Gill showed his mettle as an international player as he brought his maiden Test fifty. Soon after that, he departed to hand Australia the advantage as they lost two quick wickets. Pant and Pujara steadied the ship for the visitors with a 50-run stand but once Pant departed it was a matter of time as India folded for 244 runs handing Australia a 94-run lead. Some lower-order hitting from Ravindra Jadeja ensured the lead for Australia was well below 100 runs. He though suffered a fracture and a dislocated left thumb after coping a blow from a Starc bumper. For Australia, with the ball, it was Pat Cummins who wreaked havoc in the Indian camp with a 4-fer as Hazlewood managed to get a couple and Starc managed a wicket only.
After winning the toss and opting to bat, Australia began poorly with Warner sent packing but then came the rain and it washed out a majority of the day. Only 55 overs were possible as debutant Will Pucovski and Marnus Labuschagne saw off the day for the hosts. The debutant though ended with a score of fifty on Day 1 to hand the hosts the advantage. Further going into Day 2, Australia found contributions from Marnus Labuschagne and Steven Smith as the latter got to his 27th Test ton but the former missed out his by just 9 runs. Some lower-order hitting from Starc meant that Australia ended with 338 on the board. The Indian bowling was taken for runs as all the bowlers leaked runs. Ravindra Jadeja was the star for them as he ended with a 4-fer as Ashwin went wicketless. Bumrah and Saini ended with a couple as Siraj had just one to his name.
Day 5 started on the right note for the hosts as they sent the Indian skipper back into the hut early but little did they know of what was going to come their way. Out walked Rishabh Pant and what unleashed was as pure brutal innings from him. He took a special liking to Lyon as he carted him all over the place. His attacking innings helped India gain the momentum going into the second session of the final day. He along with Pujara not only kept the Australian attack at bay but took them out too. Pant got to his half ton and was on course of a well-deserved ton but fell short by 3 runs. Pujara batted the way he does the best as he too notched up his fifty. Just when he was going good playing out the new ball, Hazlewood came in and ended his stay in the middle. Vihari coming in after Pant and with lack of form started nervously before picking out a hamstring injury while going for a run with Pujara at the other end. Since Pujara's dismissal, the game changed completely as they batted out for a draw.
Going into the final session, India needed to play out 35 overs with Vihari and Ashwin unbeaten and 5 wickets in the bag for them. What unfolded was a typical old school style of batting as Vihari and Ashwin managed to keep everything out that was thrown at them. Ashwin though showed a lot of grit and determination as despite taking a lot of blows onto his body he hung around to see India home with a draw. Australia bowling their hearts out there tried everything they could or was in their hand but they failed to breach the defenses of the two Indian batsmen out there. To add to their woes dropped catches added insult to injury as Paine dropped three and Abbott substituting for Will Pucovski dropped Ashwin early in his innings. In the end, India managed to get away with a draw with one Test to play for.
What a Test match we have had! Kudos to Vihari and Ashwin for hanging in there to eke out a draw as the players shake hands with just six balls remaining of the mandatory overs. Special praise for Vihari for showing grit and fight despite suffering a hamstring injury early in his innings. A brilliant 5 days of a Test match, a true entertainment. We have seen rain, run-scoring, collapse, dropped catches, fightback, resilience and what not. Australia would be the most disappointed of the two sides as they let the game slip from the point where they could have had the result in their favour. A moral victory for India going ahead into the final Test.

DROPPED! Oh Paine what have you done? Why the hell did you go when it was a straight forward catch for David Warner at first slip. Has Australia ruined their chance of getting a win? Starc would feel the unluckiest at the moment. He bowls a fuller one on off, Vihari plays it with a straight bat only to get a thick outside edge. The ball flies at a comfortable height towards first slip where Warner is all set to take the catch before Paine puts in a dive and tries to take it. He though drops it and gives a life to Vihari and India to save this Test.

DRINKS! It has been an excellent hour for India where they have not lost a wicket and are playing safely for a draw. On the other hand, Australia would look to break this partnership as soon as possible and push for a win. Can they get a win? The final hour begins. A minimum of 15 overs needs to be bowled. Nathan Lyon to start the final hour of this Test.

Pat Cummins To Ravichandran Ashwin
NOT OUT! Ashwin was prompt in taking it upstairs. He was well aware of what the ball went off. A dramatic start to the session. A short one on leg, Ashwin tries to fend it away as he takes his eyes off the ball. The ball takes the arm guard and lobs to the leg side. The keeper, Paine runs to the ball and pouches it. He appeals and the umpire raises his finger. Ashwin there immediately signals 'T'. Replays roll in and Hot Spot does not detect a spot as Snicko comes in. There is nothing on it too as the ball goes past the glove there. On field decision overturned as Ashwin survives.
An appeal for caught behind! Ravichandran Ashwin is the man in question. Hot Spot shows nothing on it. Snicko shows that there is no spike on it.
We are back for the final session of Day 5. The Australian players are out in the middle. Hanuma Vihari and Ravichandran Ashwin will resume the innings for India. Pat Cummins will start the proceedings for this session.
... Day 5, Session 3 ...
So, with 127 runs to win but lack of specialist batsmen might come to hurt India in this Test. Australia just have to do what they do the best. Take wickets and get closer to the win. What will be the final outcome after the final session of the 3rd Test? A win for Australia or a draw. Join us for the final session of this Test in a while.
India did not start well in the session as Pant just fell short of his century which could have been a match winning one but was cut shot by Lyon. Pujara got to his fifty and continued to play the new ball and just when it looked that he would be going on and on, he was castled by a peach of a delivery from Josh Hazlewood. Vihari struggling for form was dealt a blow when he pulled his hamstring while going for a run. Ashwin has so far held the fort as Jadeja's availablity with the bat is still unkown. The tail to follow later so India's hopes on this pair is more.
Australia's session as has been the norm in this Test. What a remarkable session after being pushed on the back foot by Pant in the first session. The hosts started well after the Lunch as they got rid of the attacking Rishabh Pant just before the new ball was due. Then with the new ball they had the run scoring in check as Hazlewood delivered a peach to get rid of Pujara. Since then they have been right on the money. Lyon has found his mojo back as he kept it tight. Starc was also at his best with the new ball and the tail at his disposal. Overall a session which brought back Australia into the game.

Josh Hazlewood To Cheteshwar Pujara OUT!
OUT! BOWLED! Hazlewood is elated! India's number, the modern wall for them has fallen. Is that the game for Australia? Looks to be so. Pujara was the only hurdle for them and they have removed it. It needed a peach of a delivery from Hazlewood to bring his side on top in this contest. Bowls a good length ball angling on middle and off, Pujara looks to play the original trajectory but is beaten on the outside edge as the ball shapes away a bit, keeps low too to crash into the off pole. Pujara's resistance comes to an end. A good knock though from him.

The physio is out there to attend to Vihari. He looks to have done some damage to his hamstring while taking that quick single. Physio enquiring with him regarding the issue. Some bandaging done on his thighs. Looks like he won't be able to run now. Hampering India's hopes and adding to the team's injury woes. Will continue for now though but will have to see for how long can he go onto play.

Vihari needs to support Pujara here. On the other hand, Australia need just one more wicket to get into the Indian tail.

Nathan Lyon To Rishabh Pant OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! You live by the edge of the sword and die by it! Lyon has the last laugh. And look at how excited and relieved he is. He was under a lot of pressure there after being taken for a hit by Pant. He keeps on tossing it up despite taking a hit. He tosses one up around off once again, Pant playing on 97 runs looks to get to the three-figure mark with a hit to the fence. He comes down the track and looks to go over covers. The ball just about spins away and takes the outside edge. It flies to the man at gully where Pat Cummins holds onto it. Nonetheless a brilliant innings comes to an end from Rishabh Pant. He departs with a standing ovation. Looks disappointed to not have stayed there and take his side home. Australia get an opening just before the new ball gets due.

We are back for the second session of Day 5. The Australian players are out in the middle. Cheteshwar Pujara and Rishabh Pant will resume their innings for India. Mitchell Starc will start the proceedings for this session.
... Day 5, Session 2 ...
Right then! The game is nicely poised at this stage with India needing 201 runs to get an unlikely win. The key for them here is Rishabh Pant as after him only Vihari is the specialist batsman left. Ashwin can bat a bit but Jadeja being unavailable means that the responsibility falls on the shoulders of the pair of Pujara and Pant. The question is how long can they continue in the same manner? Will Pant and Pujara see India home with a win or will Australia come back stronger and sharper in the second session. Join us for the post Lunch session in about 40 minutes.
The Australian bowlers tried everything from short balls to fuller length balls but to no avail. The wicket of Rahane was the lone success they have had in the session. Lyon was expected to dictate terms but he was taken to the cleaners by Pant as Starc looked off colour in his short spell. Cummins and Hazlewood bowled beautifully as they beat the outside edge of both the batsmen on a number of occassions but failed to scalp either of them.
A brilliant session for India after losing Rahane early in the session. Rishabh Pant came out all guns blazing as he had a liking to Nathan Lyon. He not even spared the pacers as he managed to find a boundary in an over on a regular basis. In the process, he went onto get past his fifty in quick time. Pujara, on the other hand, has been his usual best. Blocking, blocking and blocking. He has held one end up as Pant is taking on the Australian bowlers at the other end. They have also brought up their 100-run stand and look good out there to bat out the day.
Getting Rahane early put Australia slightly ahead in this Test on Day 5 but Rishabh Pant's attacking batting has brought back the momentum in India's favour. Australia would be ruing two dropped chances against the southpaw there off Lyon which came to haunt them later in the session.

We are set to begin the first session of Day 5. The Australian players are out in the middle. Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane will resume their batting for India. Pat Cummins will start the proceedings for Day 5.
Pitch Report - Ajay Jadeja mentions that there will be some footmarks and that should help the off spinner. Glenn McGrath mentions that it is always a tough one for pacers. There will be some variable bounce on offer and the first session is crucial once again.
Will this game end in a stalemate? Or will Australia go onto take the lead in this series? Stay tuned as the match unfolds in a short while.
Indian batsmen have task in hand on Day 5. On a wearing pitch offering turn and bounce for spin and variable bounce for the pacers. Having 8 wickets and 309 runs more to get an unlikely win, what would be India's approach?
Going into the 5th day, Australia hold all the aces. Having batted brilliantly in both the innings and then with the ball they were just brutal. Exploiting the variable bounce on offer to a good effect. They have set the tone going into the final day. Pat Cummins has lived up to his standard of being the number 1 Test bowler as Hazlewood's accuracy has been pin point. Lyon's tirelessness and Starc's fiery pace has just been too hot to handle for the opposition batsmen.
Wow finally we have a day 5 finish in this Test series. How many of us would have expected it to happen? The build up of this Test series was Steven Smith against India and it finally came to the party in this Test. Hello and welcome to Day 5 of this 3rd Test between Australia and India.
... Day 5, Session 1 ...
Right then! Day 4 ends as the game heads to Day 5. First time in this Test series. Australia need 8 wickets while India need 309 runs. Who will take the lead in the series? Or will it end in a stalemate? We will find out on 11th January 2021. The game starts at 1000 local (2300 GMT, Previous Day). Till then cheers and take care.
Earlier in the day, Australia batted for two sessions and gained a lead of 406 runs. Contributions from Marnus Labuschagne and Steven Smith where they stitched a 100-run stand and later a couple of 50-run stands between Steven Smith and Cameron Green and later Green and Paine saw Australia get to a score of ascendency. The Indian bowling looked toothless and tired as they bowled wayward lines and lengths. Saini, Siraj and Bumrah all were taken for runs as Ashwin the lone spinner in the absence of Ravindra Jadeja bowled his heart out. Saini and Ashwin bagged a couple each whereas, Bumrah and Siraj had a wicket to their name too. In the end, an overburdened Indian bowling attack leaked runs and put India in a precarious situation at the end of day's play.
Australian bowlers were just relentless and unwilling to give up. They started with Starc and Hazlewood and later Cummins and Lyon took over the mantle. Cameron Green too got to bowl after his heroics with the bat. Starc was slightly on the expensive side as Cummins and Hazlewood kept it tight. Lyon asked a lot of questions to the Indian batsmen but failed to get a wicket to his name.
India began the chase in the final session with needing 407 runs for a win. Initially, they began watchfully with Sharma and Gill. Slowly they started to open up as both played their shots. Soon they brought up their 50-run stand for the second time in this Test. Just when it felt that these two will go on and on. Gill departed pegging India slightly on the back foot. Sharma though continued from one end as Pujara found it difficult to negotiate the turn and bounce from Lyon. Rohit, in the end, managed to get to his 50. It was his first overseas Test fifty as an opener. Just when he started to open up playing freely, he holed one out to fine leg. In the end, Pujara and skipper Rahane managed to see off the day for the visitors.
What a day of Test cricket we have had today. The last session seemed to be evenly shared but the day belonged to Australia. They were dominant with the bat as well as the ball. Setting a target of 407 runs for India to get an unlikely win the Australian pacers began on the money as the kept tight line and lengths. In the end, they managed to keep India in check with still 309 runs needed with 8 wickets in hand for the visitors for a victory.

OUT! CAUGHT! Sharma departs against the run of play! Rohit looks disappointed there. He got out to a shot which he loves playing and has fetched runs for him but this time it is not to be. Cummins nicely sets up the wicket by bowling it on a length on the first ball and now he bowls a short one and invites Rohit to go for the pull. Sharma obliges but fails to get the distance this time as the fielder at fine leg, Mitchell Starc takes it with ease. India once again lose both their openers after a good start.

NOT OUT! Pujara survives. It was a length ball around off, jags back in and hits Pujara on his pads beatiing his defensive push. Appeal from the Aussies and the umpire obliges. Pujara takes the review straightaway. No bat involved as shown by Ultra Edge and Hot Spot. Ball Tracker comes in and shows that the ball is missing the stumps. The umpire has to overturn his decision here as the ball was too high. Huge moment in the game this.
Review time! Pujara is given out lbw and he takes the review. Let's see what the replays have to say. Hot Spot and Snicko both detect nothing when the ball is close to bat. Hawk Eye comes in and it is missing the stumps.

OUT! Caught! Australia get the breakthrough. Length and around off, Gill looks to play this one off the back foot as he stays grounded inside the crease. The ball though shapes away a little as it takes the outside edge. There is an appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Gill though takes it upstairs as the replays roll in. Hot Spot comes in and it detects a spot when the ball is near the bat. Gill wastes a review as he walks back to the hut. Once again India fail to continue after a good opening stand.
Gill is adjudged out caught behind and he reviews it. Replays roll in and it seems he has to walk back .Hot Spot shows a spot when bat is near the ball. Gill departs.

DRINKS!  Indian openers have done well to survive this passage of play after Tea. They also have kept the scoring rate ticking with Gill playing some lovely shots. Australian pacers have bowled tight lines and have gone past the outside edge of both the batters but have not been rewarded until now. Interesting to see what the approach of the two batsmen will be as we come near to the fag end of the day.

NOT OUT! It is all happening at SCG here. Cummins is bowling venom out there. He lands one on a length and gets it to tail into Sharma. Rohit tries to play the  pull towards mid-wicket but is beaten to get rapped on the pads. There is an appeal from Cummins but nothing doing says the umpire. The ball goes to first slip where Steven Smith fields it and has a shy at the keeper's end. He hits and then again there is an appeal this time for a run out. The umpire takes it upstairs as the replays roll in. Rohit looks to be inside the crease when the ball shatters the stumps. Not Out is what the big screen shows as Rohit continues to battle it out.
The umpires have gone upstairs for a run out check. Lets see what the replays have to show.

The ball hits the flap of the pad and goes to the keeper. Appeal from the Aussies but nothing from the umpire. Paine takes the review for a caught behind. Nothing on Hot Spot as the ball passed the bat. A spike on Snicko but it's when the ball hits the pads. No inside edge there. They check for the LBW too, but Ball Tracker shows the ball missing the sticks. The onfield decsion stays.

Hawk Eye comes in and it is missing the stumps.
Review Time! Rohit is adjudged LBW as he takes the review Let's see what the replays have to say. Hot Spot comes in but nothing on it. Snicko too does not detect an edge. Hawk Eye now comes it and it is missing the wickets.
