Australia’s surge mode continued unabated as India struggled to recover from the blow delivered by Shami’s impressive delivery. In the final session, India leaked 157 runs in 34 overs at a rate of approximately 4.5 runs per over. Despite creating chances against Smith, they were unable to capitalize due to the deeper placement of the slips. On the other hand, Travis Head played a relatively flawless innings, except for a few fortunate top-edged and under-edged pulls that landed safely and narrowly avoided the stumps. As a result, the partnership between Head and his batting partner remains unbroken at an impressive 251 runs.

Travis Head reached a remarkable milestone by scoring a brilliant century in the pinnacle clash of Test cricket. Undoubtedly, this will be considered the innings of his life as he recorded his first hundred in England, against none other than India, in the final of the World Test Championship. His century came off just 106 balls, and although it was laden with risks, it has the potential to be a match-winning innings. However, it is still too early to make any definitive predictions, as there are 12 more sessions to go in this Test match.
