Tea World Test Championship 2025 Final is living up to the Billing of A High-Stakes Thriller, and Day 2 Only Added More Spice to An Already Riveting Contest. In Yet Another Bowler-Dominated Day at Lord’s, 14 Wickets Fell-Mirroring Day 1-As South Africa Clawed Their Way Back Into The Game Through Fiery Spells from Kagiso Rabada and More IdOnly for Australia to Wrestle Back Some Control Thanks to A Gritty Counterattack from Alex Carey.
Pat cummins sets the tone with a Stunning spell
Australia Resumed the day with South Africa Five Down in their first innings, and skipper Cummins WASTED NO TIME in Stamping His Authority. Starting with the key breakthrough of Temba BavumaWho Looked Set to Anchor the Innings, Cummins Ran Through the Lower Order with Precision and Aggression. His 4-Wicket Burst After Lunch Helped Bowl Out the Proteas For Just 138, Giving Australia A Handy 74-Run Lead.
The Right-Arm Quick Mixed Seam Movement With Clever Angles, Removing Well-Set Players and Tailenders Alike. South Africa’s Lower Order Offered Little Resistance, and the Aussies walked off with Momentum and Advantage.
Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi Turn the Heat Back on Australia
But the proteas weren’t done yet. After a cautious start by Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne – Who Added 28 Runs in Slow But Solid Opening Stand – Rabada Roared Back Into the Contest. He dismossed Both Khawaja and Cameron Green in the Same Over, Flipping the script dramatically.
Ngidi, Who Looked Off-Color in the First Innings, Found His Rhythm Just in Time. He Struck Gold by Removing Steve Smith – A Key Dismisal – and then followed it up with the Scalp of Cummins. Suddenly, Australia had crumbled from 0 to 73/7, and South Africa were firmly back in restraint.

Alex Carey and Mitchell Starc Provide Late Resistance
Amid the collapse, Wickketkeeper-Batter Carey Showed Huge Under Pressure. Unfazed by the Fall of Wickets Around Him, Carey Stitched A Critical 61-Run Stand with Mitchell Starc. His Knock was a blend of surety and counterpunch, tinge calculated risks to ensure Australia Crossed the 200-Run Mark in Terms of Overall Lead.
Starc Too Played His Part Wel, Surviving some Nervy Moments, Including a Crucial Dropped Catch in the Final Over of the Day. South Africa’s frustration Grew not just due to miss chances, but also due to discipline from – with Rabada and Marco Jansen Collectively Overstepping Eight Times in the Innings.
With Australia Holding A Lead Slightly Above 200 and Only a Couple of Wickets in Hand, The Test is Delicately Balanced. The Pitch Continues to Offer Seam and Bounce, Making Batting A Tough Ask. Both Teams have had their moments, and day 3 could very well decide the fate of the wtc crown.
