IND vs AUS 3rd Test Day 1 Score Updates: Australia prevails in Border-Gavaskar Trophy 3rd Test against India Chasing India’s first innings score of 109, the Aussies are 71-1 at tea. Usman Khawaja (33) and Marnus Lebuschein (16) are at the crease.

Australia lost the wicket of Travis Head who scored nine runs. With the score at 12, Ravindra Jadeja’s ball got stuck in front of the wicket. But then India could not establish the upper hand as expected. The Khawaja-Lebuschein partnership swung the bat carefully.

The Aussies made India fall into the spin hole

The decision of captain Rohit Sharma, who won the toss and chose to bat, was seen on the ground in Indore. The Indian batsmen were seen returning to the pavilion before realizing the nature of the pitch. India got a warning from Mitchell Starc in the very first over.

Rohit should have been out twice in Starc’s over. The only saving grace was Aussie skipper Steve Smith’s reluctance to review. But when Smith brought in the spinners, things turned upside down. Rohit’s patience was tested when the boundaries kept coming in with ease and the player then threw the wicket away.

Alex Carey stumped Rohat (12) who came out of the crease off Mathew Kuhneman and tried for a boundary. Soon Shubman Gill (21) also succumbed to Kuhneman’s prowess. Cheteshwar Pujara (1), Ravindra Jadeja (4) and Shreyas Iyer (0) returned quickly.

It was the Virat Kohli-Sreekar Bharat combination that pulled India out of the hole at 44-5. Both of them added 26 runs. Todd Murphy gave the Aussies a wicket by returning Kohli who scored 22 runs. Later, India collapsed like a house of cards.

Later, the hosts lost the wickets of Bharat (17), Ravichandran Ashwin (3), Umesh Yadav (17) and Mohammad Siraj (0). Axar Patel remained unbeaten on 12 runs. Kuhneman took five wickets, Nathan Lyon three and Murphy one.

IND vs AUS 2nd Test, Day 2 Score Updates: India’s batting collapse on the second day of Border Gavaskar Trophy 2nd Test. Chasing Australia’s first innings score of 263 runs, India are 179-7 at the end of the second session. Axar Patel (28*) and R Ashwin (11*) are at the crease.

India started the second day on 21 runs without losing a wicket and fell to Nathan Lyon’s spin net. With the score at 46, KL Rahul was trapped in front of the Lion wicket. Rahul managed to score only 17 runs. Rahul, who continues to be in poor form, is unlikely to get a chance in the next game.

Indian captain Rohit Sharma was the lion’s next victim. Lion broke Rohit’s defense and gave the Aussies their second wicket. Rohit’s score was 32 runs. Cheteshwar Pujara, who started his 100th Test, was returned by Lion as zero. Shreyas Iyer (4) who recovered from his injury could not hold on in front of the Lions.

The Virat Kohli-Ravindra Jadeja partnership lifted India, who fell to 66-4. The duo added 59 runs for the fifth wicket. Todd Murphy broke the partnership by dismissing Jadeja for 26 runs. Soon Kohli (44) also reached the pavilion. Matthew Kuhneman was the wicket.

After Kohli, the Lion completed his five-wicket haul by dismissing wicketkeeper Srikar Bharat. Lion also became the third player to complete 100 Test wickets against India. The Axar-Ashwin combination is struggling for India, who have slumped to 139-7. Both managed to add 40 runs for the eighth wicket.
