Australia are on course for a series victory after their opponents suffered a series of careless dismissals in the third Test match. The winner of this match will finish the series at the top of the International Cricket Council's Test rankings.
The third Test represents the decisive encounter in the series, with both teams vying for the number one position in the ICC Test championship standings. Australia's path to victory has been eased by poor shot selection and avoidable wickets from the opposition batting lineup.
BBC Sport journalist Matthew Henry reported on the developing match situation on Thursday, October 29, 2026.
