Kohli Calls the Match Off; Ranchi Test Ends in a Draw
Virat Kohli finally decides to shake hands with the Australian batsmen and call the match off. The Ranchi Test ends in a draw.
India made things interesting on day four after clinching a quick 152-run lead and picking up early wickets on day five.
But the 124-run partnership between Shaun Marsh and Peter Handscomb (for the fourth wicket) took Australia to the safe zone.
Jadeja and Ashwin got the wickets of Marsh and Maxwell by the 95th over, but it was too late.
Now, the two teams will be off to Dharamsala for the series decider. The four-match Test series stands at 1-1.
Wade and Handscomb Take Australia to 200
Matthew Wade drives Ashwin to the off-side boundary and Australia get to 200 in their second innings. Only 15 minutes more to go in the match and Virat Kohli still wants to stay on the field.
Umpire Ian Gould is asking Virat Kohli after every over if he wants to call the match off. But Kohli wants to go on.
Australia: 200/6 after 99 overs.
Ashwin Dismisses Maxwell
A century in the first innings but just two runs in the second innings for Maxwell. He tries to defend a delivery from Ashwin, but edges the ball onto his pads and the ball loops up for silly point to catch it.
