Third Test Match @ MCG Dec 26-30,2014 Scorecard
Australia 530 and 318 for 9 draw with India 465 and 174 for 6 at the MCG
Steven Smith declared at lunch on the 5th day setting India an improbable target of 384
Shikhar Dhawan was out lbw for a duck off Ryan Harris in the second over and Lokesh Rahul, surprisingly sent in at number three, was caught in the next over for one by Shane Watson who bolted back from the slips when the nervous debutant sent a top edge high from a poor pull shot.
Murali Vijay was dismissed lbw for 11, somewhat harshly by umpire Kumar Dharmasena, off the bowling of Josh Hazlewood before Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane steadied to take the tourists to 104-3 at tea
With Australia needing 7 wickets from the final session at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, their bowlers could only manage three as Dhoni and Ashwin survived a nervous final hour to push India to safety.
India were 174 for six when Australia captain Steven Smith conceded the draw with four overs remaining, with M S Dhoni on 24* and Ashwin on 8*
Match Result - Draw
