So many variables at this stage. Loving it.
This is an incredible innings from Pant.
The thing with the new ball is there are runs to be had.. Also, Aus going for the wicket (have to with the new ball), means they have just 5-6 fielders in the outfield outside of the catching positions.. get bat on ball with the new hard ball.. and there are runs to be had.
Instead of going into a shell, we have scored 20 runs since Pujaras wicket in no time.. 20% ..
Still .. safety first.. nothing stupid. Dont throw it away Pant.

The bookies got to Hazlewood.
Tubby is a hell of a cricketer. He's a lot of fun too.
I'm shitting it
Same here!. I am like at what point will I be confident its a draw!... Even with how they fought in sydney and 1st innings here, I am nervous as feck...
Same here. However it finishes this is going to be epic.
Pant is already better than Dhoni ever was in tests.
This should be won. Draw is the least now v
Lyon is back, interesting.
Oh, I can't watch. Genuinely can't remember the last time i was this stressed about a game.
India have this won imo.
Cummins looks too tired.

Chennai
India Australia 2011 wc quarter finals. Yuvraj Gambhir batting. I can’t watch now.
How many overs left?
Well, 1 hour. so how many ever that can be bowled. Usually 15.
Ta.
Stupid
Shardul for the left right combo ?
Incredibly stupid from Agarwal. Play on the ground and we would win this. Now have to play for the draw
Nah.. Washington ..
Cummins single handedly keeping them in the game. What a player!!
That's a shocking shot.
Agarwal is stupid. could have let Pant take this risk for now.. we didnt need to take any risk till the last 4-5 overs.
Wait for loose balls.. wait for anyone other than Cummins.

Please bring Starc on.. Do it Paine.
Agree. That was a bizarre shot.
Pant is the one winning this if it happens. All he had to do was hold an end up.
Bowl Cummins to the end of the game if need be.
Feck sake Agarwal. Just hold off Cummins. That was the job
I'm not sure how Pant should play this now. I don't think he is either.
Agree. It's not like there is much help for the bowlers, it's not swinging much or turning massively. Just had to pick his balls like Pant was doing.
No risk. save wickets. see where we are in the last 5.
That has to be..
obviously, if you get a free hit, take it.. but need to force it.
a lot easier said than done.. out there, Pant can and does get carried away very often.
Has Ravi sent sundar out to win?
Cummins is done. he cant keep bowling..
55 needed off 11
