  • 16:30 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live Score: A mini comeback for India

    Three wickets for India in the session so far that too with Australia adding only 71 runs, this is a good comeback for India. However, the work is not done yet as Australia are six down but still set to post over 500 from here. Indian pacers need to tighten the grip to restrict Australia to a total of less than that.

    AUS 398/6 (102)

  • 16:14 (IST)

    India vs Australia WTC Final: Steve Smith is gone!

    Here is the big fish for Shardul Thakur! He has got the wicket of Steve Smith on the latter’s individual score of 121.
