Day 3: Stumps – Australia 236/6 (83.3 Ovs)
Australia trail by 386 runs
Pat Cummins was again at his batting best. He proved to be too tough a nut to crack for the Indians as along with Peter Handscomb he saw the session through in which they lost only 1 wicket!
Day 3: At Tea – Australia trail by 424 runs
Australia 198/5 in 68 overs Paine 5(8) Handscomb 21(45)
After a fighting first wicket partnership, Jadeja and Kuldeep made merry and jolted Australia down to 198/5.
Could India win a series down under this time? Kohli boys are leading the Australian side by 2-1. A little more chopping and changing at the top order meant that Lokesh Rahul would share the crease with Mayank Agarwal when India go batting at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Playing XI
India: Lokesh Rahul, Mayank Agarwal, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli (c), Ajinkya Rahane, Hanuma Vihari, Rishabh Pant (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah
