Shubman Gill and Suryakumar Yadav are the likely contenders for that spot, but vice-captain KL Rahul was silent on the playing XI during a press-conference on Tuesday. Should India win by a 3-0, 3-1 or a 4-0 margin, they would all but be assured a spot in the WTC final. It’s going to be a tough decision to make. “We still haven’t decided on the final XI. This series adds of more importance to both teams with spots at the ICC World Test Championship at stake.

Lyon snub proves 'future of Aussie spin' is here; tactic fans 'shouldn't accept': Talking points.

You challenge him to go over the top (of the field). Debutant off-spinner Todd Murphy, who had already taken three wickets in the first innings, started the afternoon session with a delivery that pitched outside leg stump and held its line. “They lost one Test last year and they’ve had a long-on forever,” he said. His knock came to an end in the 81st over after Australia had taken the second new ball. “For years the King, Shane Warne, said ‘why is that man there’, but it’s enduring. At that stage, nobody else in the match had even scored a fifty. Come on, it’s a winning formula.” Australia had not picked two strike off-spinners in a Test match since 1988, traditionally favouring tweakers who turn the ball in opposite directions. “They just feel that’s part of their psyche. Cummins couldn’t make an impact for much of day two either. Even as wickets tumbled at the other end on Friday, Sharma remained patient. In fact, all five of Murphy’s wickets were right-handed batters, which off-spinners are traditionally less effective against, further highlighting his adaptability.
