Team India continued to fight on Day 3 of the World Test Championship (WTC) final vs Australia and are still alive in the match.
Rohit Sharma's men needed a boost by their batters but KS Bharat went back quickly for 5.
However, Ajinkya Rahane continued from where he had left off overnight and crossed the 50-run mark.
He found a willing ally in Shardul Thakur who scored his 3rd consecutive fifty at the Oval.
The pair led India's fightback with 109-run stand before Rahane was out for 89. India was eventually bowled out for 296.
The Sub-continental giants needed quick wickets and they did remove both Aussie openers cheaply. Ravindra Jadeja then sent back Steve Smith and Travis Head as Australia ended the day at 123/4 and lead India by 296 runs.
