- Vihari and Ashwin bat almost 42 overs as India finish 334-5
- Paine drops three catches in big opportunity missed for hosts
India have pulled off the greatest escape at the SCG in more than 50 years, holding on to draw a thrilling third Test against Australia.
Hanuma Vihari and Ravichandran Ashwin batted through 256 balls to save the match and allow India to finish 334-5. It left India’s score short of the 407 required for victory, but their 131-over effort to survive would have felt like a win to the tourists.
