After a below-par batting display, it was vital that the bowlers stepped up their performances if India were hopeful of clinching victory in the series decider.

The way the catch pumped up the Indian skipper Virat Kohli was there for all to see and it seemed to trickle down to the other players as they held on to the chances that came their way, including the two run out chances.
