3rd Test: India’s tail wags defiantly to avoid follow-on

India’s lower order staged a thrilling fightback against Australia at the Gabba, narrowly avoiding the follow-on on another rain-affected day. Jasprit Bumrah and debutant Akash Deep’s unbeaten 39-run partnership, punctuated by a six each, proved crucial. Akash Deep’s 27* turned out to be the second-highest score by an Indian No. 11 in Australia.
