Match Analysis

Australia's un-Australian methods pay off

Australia aren't quite equipped to save Tests in Asia, but Shaun Marsh and Peter Handscomb pulled off an improbable result in Ranchi

20-Mar-2017•Jarrod Kimber in Ranchi

Ashwin's late entry poses questions

Did Virat Kohli get his tactics right on the final day in Ranchi? Going by his fast bowlers' lines and R Ashwin's late introduction, the Indian captain took a few puzzling calls

20-Mar-2017•Karthik Krishnaswamy in Ranchi

Plot watch - The Maxwell agenda

Play ended in Ranchi with the pitch not quite living up to its promise to be a minefield

20-Mar-2017•ESPNcricinfo staff

India break down another big total

For the third time this home season, the team took the lead after its opposition put up 400 batting first but the Ranchi effort was special

19-Mar-2017•Karthik Krishnaswamy in Ranchi

How a team meeting changed Bangladesh

After the drubbing in Galle, Bangladesh met to introspect. They decided they needed to pay more attention to the small things. They could not have hoped for a better effect in Colombo

19-Mar-2017•Mohammad Isam at P Sara Oval

Plot watch - Jadeja's rough

Dark patches outside the left-handers' off stump caused Australia some concern, but the rest of the Ranchi pitch continued to play well

19-Mar-2017•ESPNcricinfo staff

Sri Lanka's fix-it men left to do the job again

If Sri Lanka are to get out of the hole they are in, they will have to be rescued by the bowlers, as has been the norm in recent times

18-Mar-2017•Andrew Fidel Fernando in Colombo

Patience makes Pujara the batsman

With his impeccable defensive technique, Cheteshwar Pujara is never flustered when the runs don't come as easily

18-Mar-2017•Aakash Chopra

Plot watch - The shoulder-clutch that never happened

The DRS was once again in the spotlight on the third day in Ranchi, after TV umpire Nigel Llong upheld the not-out decision for an lbw appeal against Cheteshwar Pujara

18-Mar-2017•ESPNcricinfo staff

Maharaj withstands the wind

Keshav Maharaj has more wickets than any of Morne Morkel, Vernon Philander or Kagiso Rabada this series. For a change, the quicks were creating pressure so the spinner could profit. How South African cricket has changed

18-Mar-2017•Firdose Moonda in Wellington

Debutant Mosaddek lays down a marker

Replacing a senior batsman like Mahmudullah comes with a lot of scrutiny and the 21-year-old handled it well, scoring a half-century and helping Bangladesh claim a rare first-innings lead

17-Mar-2017•Mohammad Isam in Colombo

Emotional Maxwell scales his peak at last

Glenn Maxwell's Test career seemed dead in the water after a long spell in the wilderness. But he never gave up hope of making the grade, and now has his coveted maiden century

17-Mar-2017•Melinda Farrell in Ranchi

Australia's battle of patience

Despite Steven Smith's remarkable ton, despite Glenn Maxwell's barely believable knock, despite having 451 on the board, it seems the Ranchi Test is still in the balance for Australia

17-Mar-2017•Jarrod Kimber in Ranchi

Bavuma, de Kock follow through on Hobart promise

Temba Bavuma and Quinton de Kock complement each other perfectly. They take pressure off each other because Bavuma knows de Kock will keep the scoreboard moving and de Kock knows Bavuma will show the caution required at the other end

17-Mar-2017•Firdose Moonda in Wellington

When Colombo hosted a clinic in incompetence

The final hour of play on the second day was a hilarious mixture of errors that took away from an otherwise competitive match

16-Mar-2017•Andrew Fidel Fernando in Colombo

India bowlers take assistance from air

Once set, Smith and Maxwell became surer with their footwork, and there was little India's spinners could do but plug away and hope for an error. With a little help from the air above the pitch, the bowlers ensured the game hadn't slipped entirely out of

16-Mar-2017•Karthik Krishnaswamy in Ranchi

The weirdness of Maxwell's proper Test innings

On a pitch most suited for him on this tour, David Warner, the T20-specialist-turned-Test star, got his eye in and then played a wasteful shot. The grown-up knock came from another T20 specialist, instead: Glenn Maxwell

16-Mar-2017•Jarrod Kimber in Ranchi

Smith's runs trump aesthetics

Steven Smith is a classic example of the essentials of batting at the crease and the fact that some may find his game seemingly unaesthetic takes nothing away from its effectiveness

16-Mar-2017•Aakash Chopra

Nicholls passes the test - for team and self

When Henry Nicholls came out to bat at Basin Reserve, South Africa were sizzling and his career was fizzling. By the time he was done, he had dealt with both problems

16-Mar-2017•Firdose Moonda at Basin Reserve

Boy racer Chandimal steers clear of trouble

The booming cover drive was packed away as Dinesh Chandimal buckled up for the safety-first innings Sri Lanka needed
