World Test Championship 2025 Final A high-two-one thriller is living up to a billing, and day 2 has already added more spices. In the day of another bowler in Lords, 14 wickets fell-Mirroring in 1-Din 1 Kagiso rabada And Lungi cashThanks to a gritty retaliation only for Australia only for Australia Alex Carrie,
Pat Cummins sets tone with a stunning magic
Australia resumed the day with South Africa five in their first innings, and skipper Pat Cummins Did not waste any time to seal his rights. Start with major success of Temba BavumaThose who were ready to anchor the innings, Cummins participated in the lower order with accurate and aggression. After lunch, his 4-cicat explosion helped the Proties bowl for just 138, leading to a 74-run lead.
Quick mixed seam movement of the right hand with clever angles, removes well -set players and tailnder equally. The lower order of South Africa offered little resistance, and Australians moved with speed and profit.
Kagiso Rabada, Lungi NGIDI return heat to Australia
But the proteus was not yet done. After a cautious start Usman Khwaja And Maarnas labaschen – Those who added 28 runs to a slow but concrete opening stand – Rabada roared back in the competition. He rejected both Khwaja and Cameron Green in a single over, dramatically flipped the script.
Cash, which appeared off-call in the first innings, found its rhythm on time. He hit the gold by removing Steve Smith – a significant dismissal – and then followed it with the skull of Cummins. Suddenly, Australia fell from 28/0 to 73/7, and South Africa was strongly back into controversy.

Alex Kerry and Mitchell Starc provide late resistance
Between the collapse, wicketkeeper-Bahatar Carrie showed immense composition under pressure. Unseed by the fall of wickets around him, Carrie suppressed an important 61 -run stand with Mitchell Starc. Their knock was a mixture of caution and opposition, to ensure that Australia crossed the 200 -run mark in terms of overall lead.
Stark also played his share well, avoiding some nervous moments, including a significant fallen catch in the final of the day. The frustration of South Africa not only increased due to missing opportunities, but also due to discipline issues – with Rabada and Marco Jensen Oversteeping collectively in the innings.
The test is delicately balanced with Australia, slightly above 200 and with only a few wickets in hand. The pitch has offered seams and boom, which is asking a tough batting. Both teams had their moments, and day 3 could decide the fate of WTC Crown very well.

Alex Kerry scored important runs for Australia under pressure. His job is to save his team, unrealistic clutch.
