Paine drops another one
Yeeesh, the easiest of his drops too!
India are going at a very old fashioned run rate too. What exactly is their game plan here ?

There’s just something about an 7th, 8th (9th or 10th) wicket partnership that goes beyond 50+ that makes test cricket fantastic.
Jinx alert, but these two look rock solid with odd bit of luck

Bat time.
Although these guys are 98 off 173. Excellent.

@Siam and we're taking about the one over his head or the inside edge earlier?
Over his head

Over his head
Right. Didn't see the replay as I had to leave the room

Nah, watch the rain, scramble a draw and keep the gav/border trophy then return home to heroes welcome against the poms. Sound plan

That makes sense but just seems so defeatist, not to mention old fashioned. Test matches are usually played with much more aggressive tactics these days.

India are playing with a complete second string bowling lineup. Missing Bumrah, Shami, Jadeja, Ashwin and Yadev.

Yes got 'im!!!
After decades we've finally beat down "the Aussie" to have a kiwi cricket type whine
. It's taken a lot of perseverance and losses but finally we've got the Aussies stooping to a good old kiwi cricket, "it's not fair"
How about a role reversal: you've travelled to India twice in 3 years, had unprecedented series success, used 20 players, your best aren't there, you've been locked up for 2 months and you've got a chance to keep the trophy that has eclipsed the Ashes as most sought after. I think most of Australia would welcome a draw and a trophy

Oz want it played at a rate of knots. This pace (which isn’t that bad) would be frustrating the hell out of the Aussies. That’s a psychological win for the Indians in my books.

@ACT-Crusader the irony being the current run rate is being anything but defeatist.
A remarkable series -

Finally a big swing draws a wicket. They'd started to go the heave and this time the in-ducker gets it
Amazing what happens when you bowl at the stumps.
TBF, they tried that for 20 overs and kept getting driven to the fence.
