Australia handed India a crushing 209-run loss to win the World Test final and claim the ICC Test mace on the fifth and final day of the 5th morning at the Oval in London on Sunday.
Scott Boland sparked a collapse as Australia dismantled India on day five to win their maiden World Test Championship.
Chasing an imposing 444 for victory, India needed 280 on the final day and leading the charge for India were overnight batters Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane.
On a hot and humid London morning both batters started watchfully before Scott Boland sent Kohli packing -- Steve Smith taking a blinder at slips before having Jadeja caught behind two balls later.
Rahane and keeper S Bharat put on mini fightback before Mitchell Starc had Rahane fishing. Spinner Nathan Lyon then had Thakur out for a duck before Umesh Yadav was taken out by Starc. Bharat then miscued only for Lyon to complete the catch. Siraj's attempted reverse sweep found the backward point fielder to end India's innings and have Australia claim the coveted ICC Test Mace with a win in the World Test Championship final.
India lost seven wickets for the addition of just 70 runs as they crumbled in the first session itself. Here's how the Day 5 panned out.
