Aus 299-4 (90 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Welcome to the coverage of Day 2 of the third Test between India and Australia in Ranchi on Friday.

The good news for all Indian fans is that captain Virat Kohli is taking part in the morning warm-up session and even though he may not take the field, he could come out and bat when India's turn comes.

Kohli suffered a strain in his right shoulder due to a fall while fielding on Day 1, he was forced off the field in the 40th over and he missed the rest of the day as he underwent treatment in the dressing room.

"He will continue to receive treatment, which will assist him to participate in the rest of the match," BCCI said in a statement on Thursday.

Meanwhile, Australia captain Steve Smith continued his golden run against India with another century, his sixth against India and the second of the series in three games.

Australia captain Steve Smith struck a cultured unbeaten century on Thursday to steer Australia to 299 for four wickets on the opening day of the third Test against India in Ranchi, signalling he has put the review controversy at Bengaluru behind him.

Smith's 117 not out is only the second century of the spin-dominated series -- following his 109 in the first Test in Pune -- as the 27-year-old joined the 5000-run club in his 53rd Test.

All-rounder Glenn Maxwell celebrated his return to Test cricket with a career-best 82 not out, his burgeoning partnership with Smith already worth 159 runs.
