Watch: Scott Boland rattles KS Bharat's stumps on 2nd ball of day 3 of ICC WTC final

Scott Boland picked up his second wicket of the ICC WTC final as he castled KS Bharat.

India are reeling under pressure against Australia in the World Test Championship final at The Oval. India batters have continued their flop show against Australian pacers. India had a poor start on day 3 as KS Bharat lost his wicket against Scott Boland on the second ball of the day. Scott Boland’s relentless attack on stumps has proved beneficial for him in the game so far. India were starting from their overnight score of 151 runs with 318 runs behind Australia's score of 469. So far the Indian batters have failed to put up big partnerships. 

Boland's relentless attack

Wicket-keeper KS Bharat was playing his first ball of the day but he was completely out of place against Scott Boland. It was the perfect start for Australia as Boland delivered one targeting Bharat’s off stump and the batter had no answer to that. He castled Bharat's off-stump to sent him back in the dressing room. Boland once again got nip off the wicket to dismiss Bharat, earlier he got Shubman Gill on day 2 with his movement off the wicket. Bharat tried to defend it by going forward only with a half stride and left a gap open between his bat and pad to let the ball do the damage against him.

This was Boland’s second wicket of the innings. Earlier he got Shubman Gill on day 2 with his usual attack onto the stumps. Boland has kept his line intact against Indian batters and has made them struggle. India still needs a big partnership to avoid the follow-on. Ajinkya Rahane is still on the wicket taking on the Australian attack with his punches but he needs support from the other end to lessen the deficit of the first inning of the WTC Final.
