Washington Sundar and Nitish Kumar Reddy applied themselves the following day to take India within 105 runs of Australia’s total, but how close could India have got had it been Jaiswal and Kohli walking out on day three? Chasing a daunting total, India once again lost early wickets but Jaiswal and Pant saw off the entire second session, as India hoped. The seventh wicket stand was eventually broken when the team score was 148, but more than the amount of runs, it was the time they spent at the crease that hurt India.
