Ashwin spins Australia to a win –
India were all out for 400 as they took a huge lead of 223 runs in the 1st innings. Cricket experts were wondering how the visitors would perform in the 2nd innings. The pitch had started taking turn and was doing tricks.
Ashwin began the slide when he had Usman Khawaja caught at slip by Kohli. It was the turn of Warner next, as Ashwin had the left hander caught in front of the wicket. Ashwin then got the wickets of Renshaw, Handscomb and Carey as Australia slid to 64/6 to pick his 31st fifer in test cricket.
Jadeja, Shami and Axar play second fiddle –
Ravindra Jadeja got Labuschagne LBW when he was caught plumb in front of his stumps. Jadeja also got the wickets of Pat Cummins to take his match total to 7 wickets. Shami then got into the act when he dismissed Nathan Lyon as he saw his leg stump flying and Scott Boland out LBW to get the last wicket of the game. Axar Patel who scored 84 with the bat got the wicket of Murphy caught by Rohit Sharma for 2.
