PRETORIA : Winning skipper Temba Bavuma will have mixed emotions about the start of his test captaincy after South Africa beat the West Indies in the first test at Centurion on Thursday but the diminutive batsman joined an unwanted club.
Australian spinner Nathan Lyon termed India batter Cheteshwar Pujara's dismissal in the second innings a "massive" moment in the game and lauded his stand-in skipper Steve Smith for taking the catch, saying that he "would not trade him for anyone". Nathan Lyon's eight-wicket haul helped Australia skittle out India for 163 runs in the second inning, leaving the visitors just 76 runs away from a win in the third Test here at the Holkar Cricket Stadium on Thursday. There is no one Nathan would rather have stood at slip to him than Steve Smith after he pulled off a brilliant catch to dismiss Pujara and leave the visitors confident of a win at the end of the second day of the match.
Nathan Lyon took a magnificent 8-64 to leave Australia with a modest victory target of 76 against India in the third Test on Thursday.
PRETORIA : Fast bowler Kagiso Rabada led the way as South Africa’s pace attack ripped through the West Indies to win the first test at Centurion inside three days on Thursday with an 87-run triumph.
Australia need only 76 runs to complete a memorable Test win in India but the wicked nature of the pitch has kept the home team pacer Umesh Yadav hopeful going into day three. Fourteen wickets fell on the opening day while 16 batters got out on Thursday. The pitch is offering plenty of turn and uneven bounce has also made the batters' job harder. Nathan Lyon ran through the Indian batting on day two to end with an eight-wicket haul and put his team within touching distance of a rare win in India. Umesh acknowledged that his team has not put enough runs on the board but it still has an outside chance.
BERLIN : Borussia Dortmund's seven-match winning streak in the Bundesliga this year has their fans dreaming of their first league title in more than a decade but their run will be put to the test on Friday against Marco Rose's in-form RB Leipzig.
INDORE, India : India were all out for 163 in their second innings on Thursday, leaving Australia needing 76 to win the third test in Indore.
Former Australia opener Mark Waugh was extremely critical of the pitch in Indore after 14 wickets fell on Day 1 of the third Test encounter between India and Australia on Wednesday. The pitch produced uneven bounce for the players and most of the batters were stunned by the amount of spin on offer for the Aussie bowlers. India were bundled out for just 109 and in response, Australia started well but ended up losing four wickets before the end of day's play. "It was mayhem. The pitch was not up to test standard, I think that's a fair thing to say," Mark Waugh told Fox Sports after the day ended.
