A courageous and injury-wracked India pulled off a remarkable draw in a tense third Test against Australia yesterday as they survived against the hosts’ much-vaunted bowling attack to take the series into a decider. They resumed day five at 98/2, needing a further 309 runs after being set a huge 407 to win when Australia declared their second innings at tea Sunday on 312 for six.
No team had ever bettered 288 to clinch victory in the fourth innings at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG), with Australia achieving that mark against South Africa in 2006.
