That's a game losing run out.

Oh my goodness that is a cheap loss
I am watching and I feel super annoyed. Bad call or not that was not his call. He is notorious for doing this. Even after it became evident he should’ve crossed over for the better batter
fecking he’ll - what an absolute shambles. Watch Virat get out for 45 now
That was as predictable as the nose on your face
Rohit needs to take himself out of the team after this series. Pathetic form. Can’t lead by example. And Kohli needs to follow. Just retire you guys. India is going to follow on here and the game will be over by tomorrow.
India were going perfectly well until the run out. Don’t think the run was really on and no idea why they were taking the risk so late in the day.
Not Kohli’s call. He wasn’t running to the danger and if he was, it’s because he didn’t start running.
Oh I no, he should not have been rooted in his crease as well and should have gone with the other batsmen’s call but it was still a risky single so late in the day.
Lot of focus on the negatives this test, but it’s a match winning innings by Smith and a very good first hour this morning which has taken the game away from India. It enables the Ozzies to a score above par in their innings, and then keep the pressure on when fielding and that’s exactly what Australia are so good at in their home conditions. Very disciplined and you have to hand it to them. Unfortunately for India the rest of their attack is unable to support Bumrah, Bumrrah’s been the most dangerous bowler this series but he can’t keep doing it on his own and needs other bowlers to chip in more.
It was a very bad call by Jaiswal since the ball was hit straight to Cummins but ultimately Kohli should have ran on the call rather than look back. It also didn't seem like he responded back a hard NO to Jaiswal's call.
Agree on all counts. Why did he look at Jaiswal running and turn back? Brain fade i think
I think it’s all about pressure these type of mistakes. Because Australia got a big score and India lost 2 early wickets, the batsmen are continuously under presssure and these mistakes happen. I’ve seen it so many times with England down under, it’s not a coincidence. You’ve got to give Australia credit, they’re so tough to beat.
Very confused about sending a night watchman when you are playing batters till 8
I’m not sure this was down to pressure. They had just reached a 100 partnership. It was just a bad call for a run and Kohli caught ball watching mixed in.
No, I just find it funny that the Australians are trying to take some moral high ground over this incident as if your best player isnt a cheat.
Our bowling looks horrendous. So much work is needed to develop another set of good/great fast bowlers. Can't get over the fact neither Ishant and Umesh are around.
Have a day off. So bitter
Had Australia made 350, then life would have felt completely different at 150 for 2 and put the Ozzie’s on the defensive. Because Australia had so many runs to play with, they can keep the pressure up.
Great to see Smith get another century and get closer to the 10k
Average of 56 has him up there with the all time greats......class act.

I'm not bitter. I just stated an honest fact. Unless you're implying Steven Smith isn't a cheater?
It’s whataboutery. WTF has that got to do with a 36 year Kohli trying to act like the big man by barging into a 19 year old on debut. Instead of admitting Kohli is being a Cnut, you bring in something else involving a completely different player.
Why do I need to admit Kohli's a cnut? What difference does that make? All I stated was why such a big deal was made out of such a small incident. Konstas, himself, clearly didn't care and the commentary team is still harping on about it. That, too, against a team who invented misbehaviour and sledging in cricket. The irony in all of this is crazy.
So is Kohli wrong during the incident? Why has he changed suddenly direction to barge into another player? Why are you referencing an incident which is nothing to do with the players involved? You accuse others of harping on yet you are harping on about a seperate incident which happened years ago.
Pant with a shot even the Bazball lads would say was a bit much
The thing is, people misrepresent Bazball.
Bazball isn't played by doing weird Dilshan scoops, cow corner yeets and paddle scoops to fine leg boundary.
It's done with actual cricketing shots. Just rather than leave the ball on a good length going to 5th stump, England batters have it drilled that they need to attack it.
Sometimes the above does happen, but it's usually in the typical 1/8 innings Bazball self implosion or on a rank turner where everyone gets the jitters.
Hahahahaha
I think you might have taken my comment a little out of the spirit intended there mate!
Can see your point also but I was just pissing about.
Fair, sorry! Sometimes hard to read the tone!
I have a bit of a chip on the shoulder when it comes to Bazball because people who don't watch England test games seems to think England have dropped their technically sound batsman and put in a bunch of ODI/T20 sloggers who spend an innings whacking it to cow corner.
I am pretty sure this is what England did
This feels like watching Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal Lecter is giving advice
Sorry, not really understanding the relevance or reference of Hannibal Lecter here.
If England really want to go for the big sloggers they wouldn't select Smith but still have Jos Butler there, Phil Salt would be in the team, Liam Livingstone wouldn't have been tested and binned for 1 test match, Jason Roy would have been thrown in the mix as opener somewhere.
The bigger fast scorers in the England lineup is Duckett, who made his T20 debut 3 years after his test debut, Harry Brook who averages higher than anyone not named Don Bradman, Ben Stokes who I don't really need to defend.
Who are technically unsound people in the England test team? Zak Crawley? He isn't technically unsound, he's just a bit shit.
Wow certainly didn’t expect India to survive till now. If we can get the lead down to 100 you’d have to super satisfied with that.
Very rarely does a team putting up 400 in the first innings when batting second lose..
These two looking great. We have really good lower middle order batters for a long time now
Watch them get all out in like 10-15 runs
hell of a pick.. hes played 20 games in first class cricket and averages 23.. how's he so good?
Not a bad effort considering we are playing with 9.5 players. India need to make the brave calls here, time to dump the 2 geriatric egos. We can't have an opener who has scored fewer runs than our top wicket taker has wickets.l, nor a jackass whose ego is writing cheques his ability has no chance of cashing.
Said it sometime back in this thread - there's a generosity to cricket coverage in Australia/England towards opposition players that is great.
Think that's stumps for today - I wonder where this game goes? There's enough time in it for a result to be very possible
