Due to rain on the first day, the game was stopped for almost the entire day. In this case, Australia only got a chance to bat a few times, losing one wicket for 28 runs. When the second day started, they lost three wickets for approximately 75 runs. It can be assumed that Australia will not be able to score much.
But Travis Head and Smith's 241-run partnership took Australia to a crucial position. At 405 for the loss of 7 wickets, Australia scored enough for a draw or a win.  But if India can perform well then there will be enough chance to draw the match.

That's why there are more chances of draw then India or Australia winning this game. Already 2 days passed and India still to bat. Australians will complete there innings around 450 and then it will be India show. I don't think Indian batsmen will give Australian bowlers any chance to take control over the match as they have strong batting lineup.

You are right. At the moment I think the match will be a draw. The match was delayed due to rain on the first day. So even on both days, Australia's innings is still not over. At the end of the second day, Australia has lost 7 wickets and has scored 405 runs. With the help of Steven Smith and Travis Head, the Australian team is moving towards a big total.

The match is most likely to be a draw if the Indian batsmen can bat well. Australia will probably be able to score around 450 in the first innings. If the Indian team is not able to bat well in their first innings, then undoubtedly Australia will give a big target. It will be very difficult for India to perform well in the last innings and stay at the crease. So the Indian batsmen will have to try their best to bat well in the first innings.

Yes , I saw first inning of match . New Zealand International test cricket team did good come back in this match and that team is also playing well in second inning because they have made 136 runs and they lost 3 wickets and that team is ahead by 340 runs. Williamson made half century in second inning and he is present on the wicket by giving good effort in this match and we are expecting that they will give target 450+ runs . New Zealand team is favorite team for this match . In the first inning,Latham and Santner played very excellent and made half centuries in this match.New Zealand team will win this match one sided because England team is looking very weak in this match because they could not take Wickets early in this match.

Amazing, Now the New Zealand team is making the come back in the series. New Zealand first batted and scored more than 300 runs and then their bowlers also did their responsibility by taking quick wickets. Now New Zealand came back to bat and again looking for a big target. In the second innings, they have 7 wickets are still in hand and they can easily convert this lead between 450 - 600 runs.

England cannot even score 150, they were all out on 143. I wonder if they can bat well in the 2nd innings. It is highly doubtful. Also when a team have to chase a very big total in the last innings, they usually and do fall apart.

[UmerIdrees]

Bumrah doing Bumrah things as usual. What the heck is wrong with the other Indian fast bowlers? They are a league behind Boom Boom which is primarily why the Aussies are set to post a big first innings total.

Bumrah was doing good bowling but Muhammad Siraj could only took one wicket and the combo between these two bowlers was disturbed today.
Thankfully Bumrah was in form today otherwise if could be more trouble for India.



Nitish Kumar Reddy took one wicket but he gave way too many runs. He was bowling at an economy rate of 5. All eyes were on Bumrah while Siraj picked the wicket of Pat Cummins at the end of the innings. Anyway, I am sure Australia will lose their last wicket quickly tomorrow and then it will all be on the Indian batsmen as to how they will bat.

In the first day of this test, more than 80% of the day was wasted due to rain, but today we are seeing the complete game peacefully. Australia is trying to get the lead as many runs as they can which is good for them.

When the last 15 overs were remaining in the day, I think Australia did not think to declare their innings. Jasprit Bumrah was doing so good today but except him, no bowler was able to pick the wicket of  Australian batsmen. If India batted well too, then  I think this match might be finished without a result.

[ZAINmalik75]

Today we have good start for the Indian team but sadly due to not having good support we have good innings from Travis Head and Steven Smith both hit centuries which bring Australian team into driving seat now most chances we will be having Indian team on batting tomorrow early and things could be not easy for them after conceding 400+ having batting on this track against quality bowlers things are completely under Australian control after this score.

Once again the only head ach for team India Travis head scored another fantastic innings of 150 and out of no where make a comeback of his team through vital partnership with smith, and thus now Australian are on a very strong position with more than 400 runs as a total and still have some set batter on crease to push thier target to nearby 500 or something around it which will be in my view very tough Target for indian. but just like we know first day were already abundant and second day were finished in Australian innings while first quarter or something around will be goes in Australian Innings too so that they can bat till tail under or scored around 500 so now after that there will be just 2 and half day left and three more innings to go including indian innings so the longer thier innings will increase chances of draw otherwise it can be Australian victory again

I think Indian bowlers will think now to restrict the team within 450 runs for the first innings. But looking at the pitch and the form of Alex Carey, I think it will be very difficult. Before the first day, the pitch looked bowler friendly; hence Rohit Sharma decided to bowl first after winning the toss. But I guess the rain was the shocking impact for the pitch. India has to really fight hard now to win the game and grab those points for the WTC. Today, Indian bowlers were completely clueless. They were neither able to take wickets nor able to bowl good length balls.

Indian bowlers did a good job in the start by picking 3 wickets for just 75 runs but its 241 runs partnership between Smith and Head that brought Australians right back into the game. If India can put a decent total in response to what Australia score in first innings then the game will head to a draw. All depends on how India respond to Australia first innings total, only three days left for the game and we are all still in first innings. Odds must be in favour of draw.

The Indian bowlers started well. But India could not maintain the consistency. Due to the excellent batting of Smith and Head, the match was completely under the control of Australia at the end of the second day. Smith scored 101 runs and Travis Head scored 150+. This pair batted brilliantly. The Australian batsmen were able to make a big collection of 405 at the end of the second day. I would call a collection of more than 400 on this pitch in Brisbane a big collection. It may not be difficult for the Indian batsmen to collect more than 400. However, the performance of most of the Indian batsmen at the moment is very erratic. So I think Australia will be able to take a big lead in the first innings.

Two test games was played of this series and both team won same wins 1-1 and 3 rd test game was started yesterday and today 2 nd was played. Australia batsman did not well in start of turn and India bowlers bowled well and took 3 wickets. Usman was dismissed and he made only 21 runs, Nathan at 9 runs and third marnus was made only 12 in 1 st turn. Travis again played their brilliant turn and made 152 runs in 1 st Inning. Smith also made a brilliant century in 1 st turn and he made 101 runs in 190 balls and hitted twelve 4s. They one more wicket left to play and they made 405 runs in 101 overs. Now Indian Batsman will make good progress in batting and they chase all runs and give trail runs to Australia team in their 1 st turn and make pressure to next inning. Bumrah was bowled well and he took down 5 wickets in 25 balls.

Travis Head performs well against India and Australia has a high chance of winning the match. But this match has gone two days so far i.e. Australia has not declared an innings till now at 405 runs i.e. if they bat first session on third day and can collect more than 450 runs then India must bat till third day including half of fourth day. If India don't suffer a batting disaster, the match is more likely to be a draw. Moreover, most of the odds on betting sites are in favor of a draw.

Yes you are right Travis Head played very well against India and this gives Australia good chance of winning match. But Australia has not finished their turn to bat yet even though they have scored 405 runs in two days. This might help India. If Australia keeps batting on third day and scores more than 450 runs so India will probably have to bat for rest of third day and part of fourth day. Since India has strong batsmen I think match will probably end in draw as long as they don't lose many wickets quickly. And that is right too that people have bet on cricket and also think match will be a draw.

Head can perform well in every match and his amazing century is really interesting. On the second day against India, Australia batted 445 runs, although this is a huge score. And India lost their opening and good batsmen in the beginning to meet this score. The fall of 4 wickets in the beginning has put a lot of pressure on the Indian team and the target of 445 runs will definitely be impossible for the Indian team to meet. The bowling performance of the Australian team is amazing, they may soon bring the Indian team under their control, since the Indian team is currently under pressure, it will not be possible for them to meet this big score. And the batting performance that India has seen in the beginning today will not take them to the stage of victory at all, but Australia's chances of winning are still the highest.

Australia managed to collect 445 runs in their first innings. The Australian team collected a big amount due to the centuries of Travis Head and Smith. Alex Carey was able to play a necessary innings of 70 runs. The performance of the Australian batsmen was very good. They batted brilliantly. On the other hand, no Indian bowler except Bumrah was able to bowl well in the first innings.



Australia collected a big amount. Since the Indian batting order is very strong. Almost every player in the squad is experienced. So we also thought that we would see a better performance from the Indian batsmen in the first innings. But the Indian team stumbled at the beginning of the innings. India lost 4 important batsmen after collecting only 44 runs. The match is now being delayed due to low light. India's total is 51 runs for the loss of 4 wickets. KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma are now at the crease. If this pair cannot collect a big amount, then India will lose all its wickets before 150.

[Haunebu]

KL Rahul is holding down the fort despite so many partners falling for single digits in an embarassing fashion. The dude went through a horrendous phase recently, but is bouncing back showing that my faith in him wasn't misplaced.

He won't be able to save his team though since the target is way too big. Only rain can save India now and force a draw while the same can be said about England who are getting decimated by the Kiwis.

Yashasvi Jaiswal made a mess with the wrong person. He is paying for his mistake now. In the first match or second match, He said "The bowl comes too slow." After that in all of the innings, whenever Yashasvi Jaiswal faced to Mitchell Starc then he always get out and Mitchell Starc show aggression to him. Mitchell Starc reveals unheard truth behind Yashasvi Jaiswal's ‘It's coming too slow’ sledge:
 
India is doing so badly in the start of the 2nd innings. Virat Kohli and Yashasvi Jaiswal does not play well while I think KL Rahul was playing with caution. Can he help the Indian team without the other batsmen support, i guess No.

[Shishir99]

He won't be able to save his team though since the target is way too big. Only rain can save India now and force a draw while the same can be said about England who are getting decimated by the Kiwis.

Let's not talk about the target yet because we are still playing the first innings and it is end of the day three. I hope the batters will come to the crease with a positive mindset on day four and try to play as many balls as they can. There are two possible outcomes at this moment. No one; Australia win, Number two; Draw. I hope India won't be all out just in a single session and they won't have to bat again on follow-on. If that does not happen, then the match might end up with a draw. The rain may help to washout a day or a couple of sessions at least. That will help India a lot I guess.

[As-Soon-As]

India's quiz gate fell at the beginning, today the total fall of 4 wickets is more dangerous for India. Because Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, and Shubman Gill are the most reliable batsmen of the Indian team. The Australian team has applied more pressure from the bowling side, that is why all these experienced batsmen were easily dismissed.
Mitchell Starc He took two wickets for 25 runs in 8 overs, he is the most important bowler for the Australian team. Australia will definitely win the first innings in this match because India is now at risk of losing the highest number of wickets.

The chances of draw this test match is little bit because India lost their 4 wickets at just 51 runs. India trail by huge 390 plus runs and its very different now for India to get back in this match. Australia scored a huge total in first inning and its high chances india follow on because Australia needs 6 more wickets to all out India under 130 runs. India batter Virat kholi and Shubman gill very poor performance in first inning, Rishabh Pant also failed to score run Josh Hazlewood pick the wicket of Rishabh Pant. Australia bowling performance is outstanding especially Mitchell starc picked 2 important wickets by giving 25 runs and pat Cummins and josh Hazlewood also picked one, one wicket.

The days are passing by in this test match. Already three days have gone and the first day was almost fully wasted due to rain while today the game was also stopped for rain. Now only two days are left in this test match and we are still in the first innings of the Indian team. The way India started the batting, they would want to draw the match because they are losing the game.

For Australia, if they can pick up wickets quickly then they still have a chance to make it to a win provided there is no rain on the 4th and 5th day of the match. The rain is hurting the Australian team more than the Indian team.

If Australia can bowl out before the follow-on in the first session tomorrow, if India is invited to bat for the second time, maybe Australia can win the match. But the way the rain is helping India, if the play is stopped due to rain even on the fourth day, it can be assumed that the match will be a draw due to rain. If there is no rain on the fourth and fifth day, Australia will have a better chance of winning. However, due to India's batting condition, they may be all out before 150 runs, as a result of not being able to avoid the follow-on, there may be pressure to bat for the second time.

As soon as rain intruption stop match on day two for me it was look like confirm indication of draw results for third test match of the series because I believe indian batting order will Handel it easily on next day, but now looking to Indian batting order collapse I think I should change my mind and add a possibility of Australian victory too because looking to blue shirts batter current form and dominance of Australian bowling I think possibility of draw or Australian victory will be 60% 40%. So the best possible solution for them stay long as much as possible because draw will be much more beneficial for them instead of defeat otherwise Australian already made a good target for them to follow on while on the other hand thier bowlers has ability too to once again restrict them below the required and won the match

[Compromise me]

Two test games was played of this series and both team won same wins 1-1 and 3 rd test game was started yesterday and today 2 nd was played. Australia batsman did not well in start of turn and India bowlers bowled well and took 3 wickets. Usman was dismissed and he made only 21 runs, Nathan at 9 runs and third marnus was made only 12 in 1 st turn. Travis again played their brilliant turn and made 152 runs in 1 st Inning. Smith also made a brilliant century in 1 st turn and he made 101 runs in 190 balls and hitted twelve 4s. They one more wicket left to play and they made 405 runs in 101 overs. Now Indian Batsman will make good progress in batting and they chase all runs and give trail runs to Australia team in their 1 st turn and make pressure to next inning. Bumrah was bowled well and he took down 5 wickets in 25 balls.

Travis Head performs well against India and Australia has a high chance of winning the match. But this match has gone two days so far i.e. Australia has not declared an innings till now at 405 runs i.e. if they bat first session on third day and can collect more than 450 runs then India must bat till third day including half of fourth day. If India don't suffer a batting disaster, the match is more likely to be a draw. Moreover, most of the odds on betting sites are in favor of a draw.

Head can perform well in every match and his amazing century is really interesting. On the second day against India, Australia batted 445 runs, although this is a huge score. And India lost their opening and good batsmen in the beginning to meet this score. The fall of 4 wickets in the beginning has put a lot of pressure on the Indian team and the target of 445 runs will definitely be impossible for the Indian team to meet. The bowling performance of the Australian team is amazing, they may soon bring the Indian team under their control, since the Indian team is currently under pressure, it will not be possible for them to meet this big score. And the batting performance that India has seen in the beginning today will not take them to the stage of victory at all, but Australia's chances of winning are still the highest.

I think Australian International test cricket team gave huge target in this match because Australian bowling is top class and they always try to all out opponent team early. Indian team is looking very weak as comparison to Australian International team . But there are more chances of draw this match because 3 days ended of this match and one inning is not completed yet . There are only two days and Australian team have to all out Indian team twice but that is not an easy task , So we are going towards draw match but Australian team could play exceptional and that team could be winner. Indian team score is only 51 with fall of 4 wickets And Indian team trail by 394 runs . KL Rahul is present on the crease and he could play important role to draw this match.

[Out of mind]

The chances of draw this test match is little bit because India lost their 4 wickets at just 51 runs. India trail by huge 390 plus runs and its very different now for India to get back in this match.

Yes, the rain will cause a lot of problems for the Australian team, if there is rain then there is a high possibility of the match being drawn. But if there is no rain tomorrow, the Australian team will be able to easily all out India. And if Australia is able to all out India, then they can definitely be expected to win this match. But since the Indian team lost 4 wickets for 51 runs today, the Australian team will easily put pressure on India the next day and India will be all out.
