The visitors scored 150 in their first innings before bowling out Australia for 104 while conditions still favoured seam. Jaiswal scored a consequential 161 to earn the title of heir-apparent to Kohli as India’s batting figurehead, but the former captain showed he is not ready to relinquish the reins just yet with a fine unbeaten 100. With a declaration looming and increasing urgency, Kohli broke his 16-month century drought in the final hour, sweeping Marnus Labuschagne for four to the rapturous approval of the crowd’s many Indian supporters. During a tricky five overs before stumps, paceman Jasprit Bumrah dismissed debutant Nathan McSweeney and Labuschagne , both lbw, while nightwatchman Cummins edged Mohammed Siraj to the …

Published by Webster

Kane Williamson and Tom Latham hit contrasting hundreds Wednesday to propel New Zealand to 440-6 at the close on the third day of the first Test against Pakistan in Karachi. Williamson survived two stumpings and a leg-before decision before knocking an unbeaten 105, while Ish Sodhi was on one, with the tourists leading by two runs. Williamson’s 25th Test century is his first in international cricket since he racked up 238, also against Pakistan, in Christchurch in January last year. He built on a solid foundation laid down by openers Latham, who cracked 113 en route to his 13th Test century, and Devon Conway, who fell for 92.

Williamson pushed fast bowler Mohammad Wasim for a sharp single to complete his hundred, a fifth against Pakistan. In all he has batted for 356 minutes, cracking 11 boundaries. But Pakistan …
