Australia have survived a small but tricky run chase to win by nine wickets on a spinning, crumbling pitch in Indore and secure a memorable Test victory in India.

Set just 76 to win in the third Test at Holkar Stadium, Australia brought up only their second win on Indian soil since they claimed the Border-Gavaskar trophy in 2004.

Travis Head (49no) and Marnus Labuschagne (24no) were there at the end for the rare victory in India to mark an extraordinary turnaround for Australia after the tourists were humiliated in the first two Tests in Nagpur and Delhi.
