LONDON :Australia were within touching distance of capturing the World Test Championship title as India's hopes of chasing down a monumental 444-run victory target appeared to be slipping away after they ended day four on 164-3 on Saturday.
Indian fans will do well to block out the statistics listed in the record books which suggest they have been set a mission impossible. But by tea, they were down one man after Cameron Green took a spectacular, if controversial, left-handed diving catch to dismiss opener Gill from a Scott Boland delivery. Multiple video replays failed to confirm whether the ball had brushed the ground before Green completed the catch.
Resuming on 123-4, slow-and-steady was the order of the day as Marnus Labuschagne swallowed up 126 balls, Green faced 95 deliveries and Alex Carey frustrated the Indian bowlers for 105 balls to remain unbeaten on 66. He took 126 balls to score 41 and his exit with the Australians on 124-5 sparked chants of"India jeetega, jeetega" around the ground.
