Australia vs India LIVE: Cricket score and updates from World Test Championship final
Follow all the action from The Kia Oval
Well, it’s exactly what the International Cricket Council would have wanted, a thrilling Test match that has come down to the final day.
India will break records and do something unimaginable if they are able to chase down 444, after resuming on the start of day five on 164 for three.
Crucially for India, Virat Kohli is still at the crease, and while a victory might be a long shot, there is a chance they could bat out the day and the match finish in a draw.
The game was handed an additional level of bite at the end of the fourth day when the third umpire had to get involved over a stunning low catch from Cameron Green, but the decision was upheld, Shubman Gill was on his way, and the Australian judged to have just got his hands underneath the ball.

That’s the first small test of the summer out the way for David Warner, although not quite his battle with Stuart Broad, he was deifnitely put under pressure in the first over from Mohammed Shami.
He tried his best to get off strike, but it’s a maiden first up.
