<div style="text-align: justify; "><b style="font-size: 1rem;">Cameron Green insisted he had taken a fair catch to dismiss India's Shubman Gill as Australia pressed for victory in the World Test Championship final at The Oval on Saturday.</b><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Australia declared midway through the fourth afternoon, leaving India needing what would be a new Test record fourth-innings winning total of 444.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">India still had an outside chance at 164-3 at stumps, with star batsman Virat Kohli 44 not out heading into Sunday's scheduled last day.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">India made a rousing start to their daunting chase, scoring 41 runs in under eight overs before Gill fell to an outstanding catch by Green off seamer Scott Boland.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">But there was sufficient doubt over the validity of the all-rounder's low, one-handed, grab for the on-field umpires to call in TV official Richard Kettleborough.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Kettleborough ruled Gill was out, a decision met with jeers and chants of "cheat" from a largely pro-India crowd.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Replays indicated Green had his fingers under the ball, but Gill posted a less definitive still image of the catch on Twitter shortly after stumps. That picture was accompanied by two magnifying glasses and a 'face palm' emoji.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">India seamer Mohammed Shami was also unhappy with what he thought was a rushed decision by Kettleborough, telling the post-match press conference: "We could have taken some time. It's the World Test Championship final, not a normal match that you let go.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"It should have been checked better, zoomed in, but it's okay, it's part of the game. It is all about the umpires. They take a call."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Green, who took an equally brilliant, if less controversial catch, to dismiss Ajinkya Rahane in India's first innings, had no qualms over Gill's exit.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"I definitely thought I caught it", said the 24-year-old.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"In the heat of the moment I thought it was clean, threw it up and obviously showed no sign of any doubt. Then it's left up to the third umpire and he agreed."</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Prolonged India resistance with the bat may be the last thing Australia's pace attack want just days before the first Ashes Test against England at Edgbaston starts on Friday.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">But Green, set to play his part as fourth seamer, was adamant there would be no let-up in Australia's bid to capture the one major men's global title that has so far eluded them.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">"We've been working so hard for two years to have any doubts about pushing in this game," he said.
