India 302-6 (109 ovs) vs Aus 300 | Scorecard


Australia endure further frustration as Jadeja's edge off Lyon goes past the slip fielder for a four. Beautiful bowling from the off-spinner as he makes Jadeja play at it but somehow he gets it wide of Smith at slip.

A single off the next ball for Jadeja and another run for the left-hander off Hazlewood in the next over brings the deficit under 10.

The two batsmen have done well to rotate the strike against Lyon and not let him settle down against the left-right combination.

Saha finally brings out the sweep as he turns Lyon to fine leg for one as the over goes for four runs.

A frustrated Hazlewood has a few words with Saha after he ducks under a bouncer. He then strikes Saha on the pads with a full delivery but umpire Ian Gould turns it down signalling an inside edge.

However, Australia still take the DRS which clearly shows the edge before it hits the pads and they lose their last remaining review.

Nothing going right for Australia so far on Day 3 as India continue to make good progress and inch closer to 300.

Jadeja steers Lyon past point for a couple to give India the lead. He then steals a quick single off the last ball to complete his seventh Test fifty from 83 balls.
