Jadeja, Saha drive India forward on Day 3
March 27, 2017  10:33


India 285-6 (104 ovs) vs Aus 300 | Scorecard


Jadeja again does well to tap Lyon on the off-side and get off strike with a single. Saha is beaten by one as it turns big and goes off the thigh pads with Australia appealing for a catch at short leg but the umpire is not interested.

Lyon then gets one to turn and bounce as Saha is again beaten but he manages to play out the over.

Hazlewood comes back as he replaces Cummins. The first ball is full as Jadeja is hit on the pads but the LBW appeal is turned down and rightly so with the ball pitching outside the leg stump. Two balls later, Jadeja slashes a wide delivery behind point for a four before the pacer makes a good comeback with one that comes in from the round the wicket and goes past the inside edge and over the stumps.

Saha has not tried anything fancy today. He looked quite shaky at the start of his innings late on Day 2 and was even dropped at first slip but today he has looked quite solid. He picks up another quiet single off Lyon before Jadeja defends the rest of the over.

The first hour has gone to script for India as they reach 285 for six in 104 overs, having scored 37 runs in 13 overs without losing a wicket.

Jadeja has provided the impetus, having scored 37 with the help of three sixes and two fours, while Saha has looked solid on 24.
