LUNCH - DAY 3

India 193-2 (70.4 ovs) vs Aus 451 | Scorecard

Australia's hardwork and persistence finally paid off with the wicket of Vijay, who was stumped in the final over of the morning session.

Vijay battled hard for his innings of 82, putting on 102 runs for the second wicket with Pujara, who was unbeaten on 40 at the lunch interval.

After a slow start in the morning session on Day 3, Vijay looked to break free but his aggressive approach resulted in his wicket as he was stumped off O'Keefe. That was poor thinking from the senior India batsman as instead of playing for survival he went for the big hit in the final over of the session and even captain Virat Kohli was seeing shaking in head in disappointment.

India struggled to get going in the morning before they lifted the tempo closer to lunch, scoring 73 runs from 30.4 overs while losing just one wicket.

India are 193 for two, needing another 58 runs to avoid the follow-on.
