India began day three 145 runs ahead and with four wickets in hand, but Scott Boland and Pat Cummins skittled the Indian tail for the addition of just 16 runs to set up a chase of 162.

Izzy Westbury, Brad Haddin and Adam Peacock wrap up the day three action for you.  Send your cricket club cap to Producer Sam at the following address: Sam Ferris 50 Goulburn St, Sydney, NSW, 2000 Follow on Apple, Spotify and the LiSTNR app Watch on YouTube Drop us a message on Instagram and TikTok! 

Australia started day two 1-9 and were bowled out for 181 despite Jasprit Bumrah going off for what looked like scans. Beau Webster scored a maiden Test match half-century and Steve Smith fell one good shot short of reaching 10,000 Test runs. Holding a 4-run lead, India were in trouble due to Scott Boland before Rishabh Pant exploded with 61 off 33 balls. The game is right in the balance at stumps, with India 6 for 141, a lead of 145. Izzy Westbury and the great Merv Hughes wrap up the day's action.  Send your cricket club cap to Producer Sam at the following address: Sam Ferris 50 Goulburn St, Sydney, NSW, 2000 Follow on Apple, Spotify and the LiSTNR app Watch on YouTube Drop us a message on Instagram and TikTok!

Australia added just the six runs to their overnight score before Nathan Lyon became Jasprit Bumrah’s fifth wicket of the innings. It meant India needed 340 runs to win but from the outset they were digging in for the draw. Pat Cummins took two wickets in an over and then Mitch Starc got Virat Kohli before lunch to put Australia on top. But Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant batted through the afternoon session to put the draw back in sights. It took Travis Head’s golden arm/finger and a rash shot by Pant to get the breakthrough and from there Australia held every catch, got every review right and bowled India out for 155 to win by 184 runs and lead the series 2-1 heading into Sydney! Izzy Westbury and Callum Ferguson join you to go through the day.  Sam Ferris 50 Goulburn St, Sydney, NSW, 2000 Follow on Apple, Spotify and the LiSTNR app Watch on YouTube Drop us a message on Instagram and TikTok! 

India started the day on 9-358 and added further 11 runs before Nathan Lyon had Nitish Kumar Reddy for 114. With a lead of 105, Australia lost openers Sam Konstas and Usman Khawaja cheaply, but it was a collapse of 4 for 11 in the middle order that put India on top for the first time in the Test. But a gritty 70 from Marnus Labuschagne, 41 from Pat Cummins and an unbroken half-century stand between Nathan Lyon and Scott Boland has Australia 9-228 at stumps, leading by 333. Joining you is Izzy Westbury and Callum Ferguson to unpack all the action.  Send your cricket club cap to Producer Sam at the following address: Sam Ferris 50 Goulburn St, Sydney, NSW, 2000 Follow on Apple, Spotify and the LiSTNR app Watch on YouTube Drop us a message on Instagram and TikTok! 

India started the day at 5-165 and were reduced to 7-221 inside 65 overs courtesy of an outrageous shot/dismissal from Rishabh Pant then Nathan Lyon removing his spin counterpart Ravindra Jadeja. But then Nitish Kumar Reddy and Washington Sundar combined for a stoic 127-run 8th wicket stand to defy Australia's push for victory. Sundar made 50 but fell with Reddy needing three more runs for his century. Some late drama wouldn't deny a maiden Test hundred as bad light stopped play with rain bringing an early stumps. At the close of play, India are 9-358, trailing Australia by 116 runs. Izzy Westbury and Callum Ferguson recap the action for you.

Australia started the day on 6-311 and were all out after lunch for 474. Steve Smith made 140, his 34th Test ton, Pat Cummins scored 49 and another 4 wickets went to Jasprit Bumrah - that's 25 for the series now. India lost Rohit Sharma early and then KL Rahul to a peach from Cummins before Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli put on 102 for the third wicket. It took a run out disaster to break the stand and then Mr MCG Scotty Boland removed Kohli and Akash Deep to leave India 5 for 164 with a record 85,147 fans in the stands!

What a Boxing Day of Test cricket! Australia captain Pat Cummins won his first toss of the series, elected to bat and then it was the Sam Konstas show. Konstas made 60 from 65 on Test debut, ramping and lapping and charging India’s attack. Usman Khawaja made 57, Marnus Labuschagne 72 and Steve Smith 68 not out but Travis Head and Mitch Marsh missed out, preventing Australia from making a monster score in front of a record crowd of 87,242 at the MCG. Izzy Westbury and Mark Taylor break it all down and answer questions from the Secret Cricket Club. UPDATE: Kohli has been fined 20 per cent of his match fee and awarded one demerit point for his contact with Konstas, according to reports.

India added just the eight more runs in the morning before they were bowled out for 260, giving Australia a 185-run lead. Then it was chaos as Australia lost quick wickets in search of quick runs. They were 5/33 at one stage before Pat Cummins clobbered a couple of sixes and declared Australia’s second innings on 7/89. It left India a chase of 275 in 50 overs, but as it has done all Test, rain & bad light regularly interrupted, ending the Test with India 0-8 and the series tied 1-all. And if that wasn't enough, Ravichandran Ashwin retired from international cricket at stumps!

Rain again toyed with both teams in the third Test but there was still plenty of action on day four at the Gabba. Steve Smith dropped a sitter then later took a screamer, KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja kept the Aussie assault at bay with a gutsy half-centuries, Josh Hazlewood suffered a right calf injury that'll likely keep him out of the summer, Mitch Starc and Pat Cummins carried the attack and Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep denied the hosts the chance to enforce the follow-on and in doing so pretty much sealing a draw.

Australia started day two at the Gabba 0-28 and lost both openers early to India's spearhead Jasprit Bumrah. Then Travis Head and Steve Smith scored centuries each in a 241-run stand, with Head posting 152 and Smith 101. Their partnership came to an end at the hands of Bumrah, who picked up a 5-for after taking advantage of the second new ball. While it sparked a collapse of 3-11, a 7th wicket partnership of 58 between Alex Carey and Pat Cummins left Australia at 7-405 at stumps.
