India vs Australia Live Score, WTC Final 2023: India lost their top order cheaply after bowling out Australia for 469 at the end of the second day play of the World Test Championship final at the Oval on Thursday. Captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill were dismissed in the space of five balls and India was 37-2 at tea. Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara followed the suit. India were in even more trouble at 71 for four before a defiant counterattack from Ravindra Jadeja. Nathan Lyon got him just before the close to reaffirm Australia’s dominance.
Anjinkya Rahane (29 batting) and KS Bharat (5 batting) were on the crease with India still behind by 318 runs. All the five bowlers chipped away with one wicket apiece for India. Australia was all out for 469 inside an hour after lunch. The last seven wickets were taken for 108 runs in a good comeback by India after Australia threatened 500-plus while Travis Head and Steve Smith were in. But after the morning exits of both century-makers, only Alex Carey reached double figures.
Carey got to 48 after hitting spinner Ravindra Jadeja high over the mid-on fence, but he lunged at the next ball for an ill-advised reverse sweep and missed. Mohammed Siraj led the India attack with four wickets, notably Head, and Mohammed Shami and Shardul Thakur took two each.
