Australia vs India LIVE: Cricket score and updates from World Test Championship final
Follow live coverage of Australia vs India from the ICC World Test Championship 2021-23 today.
Australia resumed on 327-3 with Steve Smith on 95 overnight, and Travis Head also unbeaten just shy of a Test 150.
It was Australia’s day yesterday after an overcast morning session, and the bright sunshine at the start of the second day will make it harder for India to take the required wickets and get a foothold in the match.
There was much talk before the final about selection, but India could already be regretting leaving world number one Test bowler Ravichandran Ashwin out of their side for the match.

India cannot afford to lose any more wickets in this evening session, with Australia still 371 runs ahead.
All the seam bowlers have got in on the action and taken a wicket.
There have been some poor decisions, some good balls and a bit of everything in between on offer at the oval.
For the more than 23,000 in attendance, there has been a lot to watch, if not a huge amount to cheer from an Indian perspective, but they have done their best, standing on their feet and applauding every boundary from the start of the innings.

A lovely delivery from Mitchell Starc just flicked Virat Kohli’s glove on the way to the safe hands in the slips.
There have been some mistakes from the Indian batters, including two bad leaves, but that was a good delivery which just beat Kohli.
India are 72-4. Could we be in follow-on territory?
