ICC WTC Final 2025 SA vs AUS, Day 3 LIVE SCORE UPDATES: Day 2 summary
Day 2 of the ICC World Test Championship Final 2025 was a gripping rollercoaster, with 14 wickets falling and the match delicately poised. Australia began the day strongly, led by captain Pat Cummins, who claimed a sensational six-wicket haul — reaching the milestone of 300 Test wickets — to bowl out South Africa and secure a 74-run first-innings lead.
However, South Africa roared back with the ball. Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi shared six wickets between them to leave Australia reeling at 73/7 in their second innings. Just when it looked like the Proteas might seize full control, Alex Carey and Mitchell Starc stitched together a vital 61-run partnership for the eighth wicket. That stand ended late in the day, though Starc was handed a lifeline when Marco Jansen dropped a tough chance in the final over.
At stumps, Australia led by 218 runs — a potentially match-defining advantage on a deteriorating pitch. With the game swinging wildly and momentum constantly shifting, Day 3 promises more drama in this tightly-contested final.

Indian women's team still without win in European leg, stumbles against Belgium in FIH Pro League

The Indian women's hockey team went down 1–5 against host Belgium at the FIH Hockey Pro League 2024-25 in Antwerp on Saturday. It was the team's fifth consecutive defeat at the European leg of the tournament, having lost two matches each to Australia and Argentina in London. In a thrilling contest that saw 17 penalty corners for Belgium, Deepika (6') gave India the lead before goals from Helene Brasseur (37', 55'), Lucie Breyne (41'), Ambre Ballenghien (54'), and Charlotte Englebert (58') sealed victory for the hosts. Notably, all five of Belgium's goals arose from penalty corners. India endured a nervy start as Belgium came out pressing with intent, earning a penalty corner within the opening minute. The early scare was averted, and Savita soon followed up with a sharp save to keep the scoreboard untouched. An unforced error in India's half gifted Belgium possession again, but Vaishnavi stepped up with a crucial interception to shut the door. India waited to pounce, and in its first circle entry, Deepika's penalty corner shot took a deflection off a Belgian defender before finding the back of the net to put India ahead. As the second quarter unfolded, Belgium was in control of proceedings and found two more penalty corners. Minutes before half-time, Lisa Moors threatened to level the scores with a powerful strike from inside the circle, but India's goalkeeper Bichu Devi kept it out. Belgium entered the third quarter having made 10 circle entries to India's four, maintaining steady pressure on the defence. It took five penalty corners before Brasseur finally converted to bring Belgium level. Two more penalty corners followed, and despite a series of sharp saves from Savita, Lucie Breyne struck from close range during yet another set-piece to give Belgium a 2–1 lead.

The final ten minutes, however, was completely dominated by the host. In the 54th minute, Ballenghien effectively sealed the contest with a well-taken goal to make it 3–1. Five minutes later, Brasseur converted Belgium's fourth penalty corner, stretching the lead further. Just before the end, Englebert added her name to the scoresheet, calmly slotting home a penalty stroke in the 58th minute to complete a comprehensive 5–1 win for Belgium. The Indian Women's Hockey Team will take on Belgium on Sunday at 4:30 PM IST.

‘Superb, superb, superb': Sunil Gavaskar lauds Rishabh Pant's century vs England, months after ‘stupid, stupid, stupid' tirade against him in Australia

A few months after Sunil Gavaskar slammed Rishabh Pant on air during the Border Gavaskar series shouting 'stupid, stupid, stupid' after the wicketkeeper-batter threw away his wicket against Australia, the Indian legend lauded Pant with shouts of 'superb, superb, superb' when he smashed his 7th Test century against England at Leeds on Saturday. Pant had been at the receiving end of Gavaskar's anger during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 when, in the fourth Test of the series at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), he went to attack a delivery, miscued his shot and gave a catch to third man. The dismissal angered the legendary India cricketer who was in the commentary booth, shouting 'stupid, stupid, stupid!'. On Saturday, a visibly enthusiastic Gavaskar on commentary said, 'Yes, superb, superb, superb. Absolutely terrific batting by the young man.' Another 𝐒 word from Sunny G…𝐒𝐔𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐁!🫡#SonySportsNetwork #GroundTumharaJeetHamari #ENGvIND #NayaIndia #DhaakadIndia #TeamIndia — Sony Sports Network (@SonySportsNetwk) June 21, 2025 Pant on Saturday went past MS Dhoni for the most centuries by an Indian wicketkeeper in Test cricket, bringing up his seventh on the second day of the series opener against England. Pant struck a six off the first ball of the 100th over of India's first innings, clearing the fence off Shoaib Bashir to bring up the milestone. It was his first century since September 2024 when he scored 109 against Bangladesh. In 90 Tests, Dhoni had scored 4,876 runs with six tons and 33 fifties at an average of 38.09 and remains the highest run-scorer as an Indian wicketkeeper-batter in Tests. Pant, who completed 3,000 runs during this innings of 134 off 178 balls (12×4; 6×6), also has 15 fifties in 44 Tests and averages nearly 44. The third in this list is Wriddhiman Saha with two centuries, followed by Syed Kirmani and Farokh Engineer with two each. Nayan Mongia has also scored one century. India ultimately were bowled out by England on 471 runs as Ben Stokes and Josh Tongue took 4 wickets apiece.

IND vs ENG 1st Test: Rishabh Pant's ton powers visitors to 471; list of India's highest first innings totals in England

India lost their last seven wickets for just 41 runs inside 12 overs to suffer a dramatic collapse to be all out for 471 in the first innings of the first Test on Saturday, despite Pant's typically dynamic 134. Having resumed Day 2 with an overnight score of 359/3 following hundreds from Yashasvi Jaiswal (101) and captain Shubman Gill (147), India were cruising towards a score in excess of 500 after being sent into bat. However, Ben Stokes' 4/66 and fast bowler Josh Tongue's 4/86 brought England back into the game which has largely been dominated by the young Indian team, led by new captain Gill. This was also India's highest first innings total in an away Test match since 622/7 decl. against Australia in 2019. India's highest first innings total in England came way back in 2007 at The Oval - 664.
