After a testing 15-minute period,Steve Smith (95) and Travis Head (146) have made it to stumps unbeaten.
It rounds out a magnificent day for Australia,who fought back from 3-76,after being sent in,to finish 3-327 after 85 overs.
India’s over rate was poor - keep in mind an extra 30 minutes was given to them - and could very well be looked into by the match referee.
Head’s hundred was one for the ages,particularly given it was the first ever in a World Test Championship final.
His back-to-back fours off Mohammed Siraj in the penultimate over of the day typified the South Australian’s audacious style that is working so well for him at the moment.
Head will be hoping he hasn’t used up all his runs for this English summer.
In an ideal world,Smith would have loved triple figures tonight,but he’ll come back tomorrow hungry to make it Test hundred No.31.
Normality has resumed:Steve Smith is scoring big runs in England when it matters most. His four through cover off the final ball of the day was a big statement.
