IND vs AUS, 2nd Test Day 3 Highlights: Australia On The Mat As Indian Bowlers Impress Again
India vs Australia Test Highlights: India are in sight of victory in the second Test match, after some brilliant bowling displays from the likes of Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja on Day 3.
With Day 3 coming to a wrap, India are in complete control of the ongoing second Test match against Australia, at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The visitors are in sight of victory, with the hosts finishing with a score of 133 for six after 66 overs at stumps. They have a slender lead of two runs but only have four wickets left. Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah were on fire for India, with the latter taking the crucial wicket of Steve Smith. Meanwhile, Jadeja dismissed Matthew Wade and Tim Paine. The Indian innings ended earlier in the day, with the tailenders losing their wickets without putting up much of a fight. They were bowled out for 326 runs with a lead of 131 runs. It is worth noting that Ajinkya Rahane scored a gutsy century, with Ravindra Jadeja adding a half-century. Day 4 begins on Tuesday, and the visitors will be hoping to wrap up the match quickly and level the series. The Aussies currently have the lead in the four-match series, having won the first Test match in Adelaide. (LIVE SCORECARD)
2nd Test, Day 3Â Highlights Between Australia (AUS) vs India (IND), Straight From Melbourne Cricket Ground
OUT! Tim Paine c Rishabh Pant b Ravindra Jadeja 1 (9)
Jadeja sent a length ball around off. It turned and bounced. Paine tried to cut it, but it went for a catch behind. Umpire denied India's appeal, but Rahane reviewed it. The HotSpot didn't show anything, but the snicko had a spike.
Jadeja sent a quicker delivery, on the stumps. Wade took off his back foot and tried to shuffle and hit the ball. But he got beaten by the pace and pinned on the front pad in front of middle stump. He reviews it but it doesn't go in his favour.
Jadeja sends a good delivery. Head walks across and glances it past short fine leg. He uses Jadeja's pace. Siraj does good work to prevent it from reaching the boundary ropes. Two runs!
Bumrah sends a mean bouncer! It strikes the back of Wade's helmet as he tries to duck it. The noise was loud enough, and it deflects to the cover fielder. He will change his helmet and also follow the concussion protocol. No run!
Bumrah bowls a full delivery. Head sends it to mid-wicket. Substitute Shardul Thakur chases it and misfields on the slide to concede a third run. Three runs!
Bumrah gets the big fish! He uses the leg-stump trap! He sends a quick delivery on leg stump, and Smith tries to glance it across but gets beaten by the pace. The ball touches the leg bail, and it falls off!
