Miss Morning! 🤗

I'm good, how are you? ❤️ It's been a while since I've been properly active in a cricket thread 😅

Truly, the umpires call has gone in our favour today. But I'm definitely not complaining 🙈😆

The important thing is, the match did not turn into a one sided affair. Both sides are fighting hard to win this match, the way it is supposed to be.

Cheers..

Fantastic accuracy from Murphy all through this innings. He has not only attacked the stumps but there have been very few loose deliveries for the batters to cash in upon. Even while varying the pace, his neat line and lengths makes this a performance to savor and perhaps, we are looking at someone for the long run here.

Been a good phase for Australia but they will want to wrap up this innings as soon as possible. As they found in the first innings, batting in this pitch isn't going to be easy despite what Rohit Sharma's superb knock seemed to imply

It'd taken me quite a long time to figure out what GOAT was, now what on earth is KID? 😆

Jadeja on 49 and everyone is waiting for the sword celebration.

Cheers..

Truly. If anyone from the current Indian team deserves praise as an all-rounder, it's Jaadu ❤️

Bowling and fielding have always been his strengths but his batting is now a thing of beauty too. Such temperament ❤️

Sets him out from the rest 👏

It's the #1 and #2 test teams fighting it out, I'd expect no less! ❤️

Who says test matches can't be interesting?

Line and lengths got better from Nathan Lyon as the over progressed but Axar Patel was totally comfortable presenting a solid defense. Luxury for India to have such skilled batters in the lower order

India 250/7 after 90 ovs
