The ball to castle Konstas was a work of art. And so is that one to Carey. Bumrah is a genius.

If India go on with this it might be the best win I’ve seen from a touring side in Australia. They were absolutely gone to the point the fans celebrated avoiding the follow on. This is Eden Gardens 2001 type of stuff if they pull it off.
Bumrah won’t finish with the career wicket total of some others but he’s as good as any to have played.
This is the type of situation Cummins has been saving games with the bat in recent years. He might be the last hope.

Marnus and Cummins have to save the Aussies here.

There's a guy who most are sleeping on. 300+ wickets at a lower economy and S/R than his legendary countryman Dale Steyn, as well as Jasprit Bumrah.

Bumrah’s very good but some poor shots from Smith (especially) and Head. Lazy from Marsh who’s way out of form. Big gaps left by Konstas and Carey.

Eden Gardens is still the benchmark for me. That was an unfathomable turnaround, I assumed it was a formality when Tendulkar was out late on day 3. However then Dravid and Laxman on day 4 produced that partnership and the rest is history. I’ll also add what India did at the Gabba a few years ago warrants a mention in this discussion from a touring side.
That was a third string bowling attack really due to their injuries. Natarajan, Saini and Washington at the time were their net bowlers in the touring squad. And yet along with Shardul and Siraj they somehow got 20 wickets to set up their chance and then smoked the bowlers around on day 5 to win it all. Phenomenal.
This rearguard however from Cummins and Marnus has flattened India’s momentum here. Given the lead was already quite substantial even cameos of 20-30 late in the innings can be the difference. Catches win matches as they say, I reckon Jaiswal would want to return some of this when he bats in the 4th innings.
So many plays and misses today alone, wowsers. From Deep as well as Bumrah.

The amount of times people on this site have said this about both sides in the last two days is laughable. It is the best two test nations going toe-to-toe with some of the best players. Momentum is inevitable to swing through out 5 days.

I already provided a measured response.
They've been behind in the game since day 1. Have fought back on days 3 and 4 to get to a position that they can win the match.
Aus letting Reddy and Sundar score runs doesn't constitute Aus throwing away the game nor does our tail mounting a rear guard action mean India are choking. Merely two top teams playing tough competitive cricket.

Went too early here. Great work from Boland and Lyon and holding to form a probable match and, even series, saving partnership.

Difficult to win when you play with 9 wickets. If marsh hangs on for Sydney it's a joke and they really don't care about form.
They’d be ruing the dropped catches, particularly the one where it would’ve been 7-99 if Jaiswal held the catch. All of a sudden this last partnership has possibly taken the win out of the equation for India. However anything still can happen tomorrow with Pant and co in that batting line up.

Unreal test match.
Wish we’d just swap England and India each summer. Makes for incredible series. Also, India deserve a 5th test match.

They have a 5th. Sydney is the last one.
