Australia swiftly ended any hopes of a record-breaking India win to seal victory by 209 runs in the World Test Championship final at The Oval. Set an unlikely target of 444, India had a glimmer of hope when they started the fifth morning at 164-3 with linchpin Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane in the middle as they chased 280 more runs. But in the seventh over of the day, Kohli edged fast-bowler Scott Boland and Steve Smith took a great catch.
