Australia v India: Rishabh Pant hits 61 but Test finely poised

Rishabh Pant’s stunning 61 helped give India a lead of 145 runs in the final Test against Australia after an enthralling second day that saw 15 wickets fall.

The wicketkeeper-batter’s innings comprised just 33 deliveries after Scott Boland had put the home side in the driving seat at the start of India’s second innings.

The Australia fast bowler took three quick wickets in an inspired spell after Australia had posted a first innings of 181.

Australia debutant Beau Webster top scored for the hosts with 57 as India took a first-innings lead of just four runs.

India captain Jasprit Bumrah walked off the field early in the afternoon session and left the ground to have an injury assessed, although he was seen returning before the close of play.

One of Boland’s victims was Virat Kohli as the India great’s final Test innings on Australian soil ended for six as the tourists finished the day on 141-6.
