Australian pacer Mitchell Starc said on Sunday that though the pitch has not shown the "tricks and demons" that his side thought it could, the final day of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) title clash against India could change things, adding that there are some cracks on the surface and that they hope it would break up more on final day.

India are playing on the final day of the WTC final against Australia. They ended the fourth day at 164/3, with Virat Kohli (44*) and Ajinkya Rahane (20*) unbeaten at the crease. India needs to pull off a mammoth chase of 444 runs to win the title. This chase would be the highest-ever in Tests if pulled off.
