Australia maintains lead against India in WTC final despite controversy and compliments.
Ravindra Jadeja took two wickets, but Australia remained in control of the World Test Championship final against India despite a sloppy display. India's Ajinkya Rahane and Shardul Thakur put up a resilient seventh-wicket partnership of 109 runs, with Rahane scoring 89 and Thakur contributing a vital half-century. However, Australia finished at 123/4 in their second innings, holding a commanding lead of 296 runs. Pat Cummins was instrumental in India's fall in their first innings, taking 3/83 in his 20 overs, but his figures could have been even more impressive had it not been for six no-balls.
