Australia vs India: Pat Cummins takes 5-57 as hosts seal 10-wicket win in second Test

Pat Cummins took 5-57 as Australia wrapped up an emphatic 10-wicket victory over India on day three of the second Test to square the series at 1-1.

India resumed on 128-5 – 29 runs adrift – at the Adelaide Oval and were dismissed for 175 despite Nitish Kumar Reddy’s battling 42.

Cummins did the most damage while Scott Boland claimed 3-51 and Mitchell Starc 2-60 to set Australia a target of 19 for victory.

Openers Nathan McSweeney and Usman Khawaja chased down the total in just 3.2 overs.

The third Test in Brisbane starts on 14 December.

India’s defeat now means they now need to win all three remaining Tests in the five-match series to qualify for the World Test Championship final.

Australia must win four out of their next five Tests to be certain of their spot but are likely to need fewer victories.
