India vs Australia 3rd Test Live: The Survival Criterion For India
Harsha Bhogle has explained what India need to do in order to enforce a draw in the Brisbane Test.
Hot and humid in Brisbane. It rained all night but at the moment, it is sunny. I reckon, with the over-rates, a max of 180 overs left in the game. India has to bat a minimum of 70 overs to stay in the game if there are no interruptions.
