  IND vs AUS Live Score, WTC Final Day 5: 

  Kohli attempted a drive that was too wide outside off, resulting in an unfortunate edge behind the wicket. Smith's exceptional skills in the slips allowed him to take a stunning catch. Similarly, Jadeja's attempt to defend himself from a ball angling in from around the wicket resulted in an edge to the keeper. On the other hand, Bharat's shot resulted in an outside edge that flew over the slip cordon and landed on the boundary.

  IND 183/5 (47)

  Ajinkya Rahane 30(80)

  Boland continues, sending one to rear off a length outside off, and Kohli wisely chooses to let it go. Kohli then executes a beautiful cover-drive, but unfortunately, it goes straight to the extra-cover fielder.

  IND 176/3 (45)

  Ajinkya Rahane 29(77)

  Virat Kohli 47(72)

  Boland initiates the proceedings with the ball, and it's not looking good for India. The first ball of the day keeps low outside off and Rahane is unable to connect. Boland follows up with a back-of-a-length delivery on off-stump, and Rahane defends it on the front-foot. The next delivery is fuller, but Rahane once again defends it on the front-foot.

  IND 164/3 (41)

  Ajinkya Rahane 20(65)

  Virat Kohli 44(60)
