Overview

• Devdutt Padikkal converted his overnight 86 into a hundred on the final morning, extending the unbroken Day 3 stand with Dhruv Jurel beyond 200 before the pair were eventually separated.
• Reports from the ground said India A surged past 450 and later crossed 500, with Jurel dismissed for 140 and Padikkal going on to 150 to bring the hosts within reach of first-innings parity.
• Jurel’s counterattacking 113 not out on Day 3 set up the revival, following half-centuries from Narayan Jagadeesan (64) and Sai Sudharsan (73) after rain-delayed play.
• Australia A had earlier declared at 532/6 on the back of centuries from Sam Konstas and Josh Philippe, plus fifties from Campbell Kellaway, Cooper Connolly and Liam Scott.
• India A captain Shreyas Iyer fell lbw for 8 to Corey Rocchiccioli, marking a third straight low first-class score as performances here are weighed for selection before the West Indies series starting October 2.
