Welcome to what could be the end

By Michael Doyle

Good morning to you all.

The fifth and final Test of this Border-Gavaskar Series may end today.

India is 6-141 in their second-innings, holding a lead of 145 runs. There is a big chance the Test match ends today — day three.

I’m Michael (Mick) Doyle. Jon Healy is with me, and along with the rest of the ABC Sport team, we will bring you the action and drama of cricket at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

If Australia win, they win the series and claim the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

An India win will level the series at 2-2 and they will retain the trophy.
