Cummins unleashed a barrage of fierce deliveries upon Thakur, striking his arm twice and his body on multiple occasions. Yet, undeterred, Thakur courageously faced each ball head-on, refusing to back down. The partnership between these two warriors has been nothing short of extraordinary. The narrative, however, could have taken a different turn if Australia had capitalized on their missed opportunities. Three catches were put down during the session, two from Thakur's bat and one from Rahane's. Moreover, Thakur's dismissal was negated due to a no-ball. Nevertheless, Australia maintains a significant advantage, with India currently trailing by 209 runs.

Almost the entire session has witnessed their unwavering resilience, after Boland dismantled Bharat's stumps early on with a mesmerizing delivery. Australia, inching closer to a commanding lead, seemed to have a firm grip on the match. However, Rahane stepped up, as he has so often in dire situations for India, finding an able ally in Thakur.
