A Daryl Mitchell century and a brilliant 72 from Matt Henry helped New Zealand to an unlikely first-innings lead of 18 runs before the home bowlers restricted Sri Lanka to 83 for three at the end of the third day of the first test on Saturday.
The world suddenly come to a standstill as India and Australia squared off in the 4th Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Ahmedabad. With Usman Khwaja and Cameron Green scoring centuries, India found themselves on the back foot. Considering the manner in which the first three Tests had concluded, India captain Rohit Sharma endured a new challenge as his bowlers struggled to pick up wickets. Even former India head coach Ravi Shastri had no hesitation in suggesting that the match has turned out to be a big learning curve for the Hitman.

Ravichandran Ashwin has been one of the consistent performers for India on home conditions in the recent past and his impact on the side became even more evident from the fact that he dislodged James Anderson to become the top-ranked Test bowler in the world. As a result, it came as a major surprise to everyone that skipper Rohit Sharma waited around 15 overs to hand the bowl to his top spinner on Day 2 of the third Test against Australia in Indore. While the spin threat was being provided by Ravindra Jadeja, it was Ashwin who ultimately provided the first breakthrough of the day as he dismissed Peter Handscomb. Ravi Shastri, Mitchell Johnson and Ajit Agarkar were all taken aback by the choice made by Rohit and during their commentary, all of the ex-players made it a point to discuss his decision.
Ravichandran Ashwin returned with a three-wicket haul on Thursday to help India skittle out Australia for 197 in the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar. Ashwin's performance, in which he took the wickets of Peter Handscomb, Alex Carey and Nathan Lyon, helped the hosts limit the visitors' lead. The three wickets also meant that Ashwin now has 689 international wickets, surpassing Kapil Dev (687), to be the third-highest wicket-taker for India across formats. Anil Kumble (953) and Harbhajan Singh (707) hold the top two places.
The first two Tests of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy ended in less than three days, with Australia failing to justify their world No. 1 rank against India. The Rohit Sharma-led hosts dominated with the bat as well with the ball as the Australians were left with no answers. Courtesy their 2-0 lead in the four-match series, India have already retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. If India win the third Test, they will seal a place in the final of the World Test Championship. In the midst of this, Australia would hope for a turnaround in the contest. However, former Australia pacer Mitchell Johnson wrote in a column that the 'most disappointing' aspect of the team was the way it lost the first two Tests.
Former Australian pacer Michael Kasprowicz wants his side to play to its strengths and go for a three-pronged pace attack in Mitchell Starc, Cameron Green and Scott Boland for the third Test against India at Indore beginning on Wednesday. Australia had gone into the second Test in New Delhi with just one pacer in skipper Pat Cummins and three specialist spinners and still lost the match by six wickets to concede a series-retaining 0-2 lead to India.
