India vs Australia, 1st Test: How spin & pace exposed Tim Paine's team

Australia on Sunday lost the third and final ODI in Hobart by 40 runs while chasing a mammoth target of 321 runs set by South Africa.

After openers Chris Lynn and Aaron Finch lost their wickets early, Shaun Marsh played a pivotal inning and went on to slam 106 to bring Australia back in the game.

However, his century went in vain as Proteas registered an easy win to clinch the three-game ODI series by 2-1.&nbsp;

Apart from Marsh, Marcus Stoinis made 63 runs while &nbsp;Alex Carey (wk) and Glenn Maxwell contributed 43 and 35 runs respectively.&nbsp;

The last three batsmen for Australia failed to open their account and went back to the pavilion on a duck.&nbsp;

For South Africa, Dale Steyn and Kagiso Rabada grabbed three wickets each to end Australia's inning.&nbsp;

Earlier, David Miller and Faf du Plessis had hit centuries to power South Africa to a huge total in the deciding ODI. The duo had build-up a 252-run partnership after the Proteas were reduced to 55 for the loss of three wickets at a point.&nbsp;

The Proteas won the opening game of the series by six wickets and Australia snapped their seven-game losing streak to clinch the second by seven runs.

The two teams will next lock horns in the one-off T20I at Carrara Oval, Queensland on November 17.&nbsp;

3rd ODI: South Africa beat Australia by 40 runs, win series

Captain Steve Smith frustrated England with a fighting half-century and pushed Australia to 165 for four at the close of a see-sawing day two, rescuing the hosts after a top-order collapse in the series-opening Ashes test in Brisbane on Friday.

With his team in peril at 76 for four, Smith&rsquo;s unbeaten 64 in an 89-run stand with number six Shaun Marsh gave Australia hope of reeling in England&rsquo;s first innings 302 at the Gabba.

Lefthander Marsh, under pressure to perform after winning his eighth recall to the test team, played a fine support role to be 44 not out at stumps.

After day one saw only four wickets fall, 10 tumbled on day two as the Gabba pitch quickened and recovered some of its customary bounce.

England lost their last six wickets in a hurry to be out for 302 at lunch and Australia seemed to be back in control at their Brisbane fortress.

But the pendulum swung again as England&rsquo;s bowlers scythed through the hosts&rsquo; top order in a breathless middle session.

After replacing Matt Renshaw in the squad, opener Cameron Bancroft&rsquo;s first bat in his Ashes test debut lasted 19 balls after he nibbled at a teasing ball from Stuart Broad and was caught behind for five.

A Queensland opener whose home ground is the Gabba, the Western Australian&rsquo;s cheap dismissal was a bitter one for local fans.

Number three Usman Khawaja&rsquo;s problems against spin in the subcontinent followed him home as he was trapped lbw for 11 by Moeen Ali.

The alarm bells began ringing when opener David Warner holed out for 26, pulling paceman Jake Ball straight to Dawid Malan at short mid-wicket to give the Ashes debutant his first wicket in Australia.

And Australia was left reeling at 76 for four when Peter Handscomb was trapped lbw for 14 by James Anderson in the first over after tea.

Rescue Mission

Once again it fell to Smith to mount a rescue mission and the 28-year-old was a rock through 148 balls as he ground out one of his grittiest half-centuries.

He reached his 22nd test fifty with a single having all but nicked Anderson behind on the first ball faced.

England had been in control at 246 for four in the morning session when momentum shifted away from them.

Malan had reached his third half-century in his sixth test, completing a hat-trick of fifties for England&rsquo;s rookie batsmen after opener Mark Stoneman had 53 on day one and number three James Vince scored 83.

But like his colleagues, Malan squandered the chance by pulling Mitchell Starc straight to a fielder and was out for 56.

The wicket broke a stubborn 83-run partnership with Moeen, and England promptly crumbled.

Denied a wicket on day one when recalled wicketkeeper Tim Paine grassed a nick from Vince, spinner Nathan Lyon trapped Moeen lbw for 38 and bowled Chris Woakes for a duck in quick succession.

Jonny Bairstow was caught for nine by Paine skying a pull shot before Warner took a brilliant, diving catch at leg gully to remove Ball for 14.

Broad was dropped in the deep by Marsh when on 10 but he was out for 20 pulling Josh Hazlewood to Handscomb, bringing an end to England&rsquo;s innings.

Starc captured 3-77 and Cummins 3-85 for Australia.

Ashes: Captain Smith drags Australia back from brink against England

Resolute rearguard action by Peter Handscomb and Shaun Marsh helped Australia escape with a remarkable draw against India on the final day of the third test on Monday.

Having conceded a 152-run first innings lead, the tourists were reeling when skipper Steve Smith departed, leaving his team at 63-4 with more than two sessions to go and the hosts confident of a win.

But Handscomb and Marsh battled on through the entire second session to first erase the deficit and then ensure Australia were safe by the time they were separated.

Handscomb made 72 not out, his third test fifty, to help Australia finish on 204 for six before the players shook hands.

Marsh made 53, the duo frustrating India for nearly four hours with a dour 124-run stand to shatter the hosts&#39; chances of going 2-1 up in the four-test series.

India, buoyant after making 603 in their first innings and with Ravindra Jadeja having taken a couple of late wickets the previous evening, came out hard at the Australians in the morning.
