3.Ravindra Jadeja removes Usman Khawaja

India vs Australia 3rd Test, Day 3: Wicket No. 3 for India, Catch No. 2 for Mayank Agarwal on Friday morning- Ravindra Jadeja sends back Usman Khawaja (21).
It was an absoulute ripper from Jadeja. It bowled flat outside off and Khawaja was forward in defense. But the ball gripped and turned to get the inside edge and went straight to Mayank Agarwal at short leg. The debutant takes another smart catch. What a morning this has been for India so far.

4.Australia 89/4 at lunch as Shaun Marsh falls

India vs Australia 3rd Test, Day 3: Jasprit Bumrah traps Shaun Marsh on the last ball before lunch as Australia are reduced to 89/4. It was a fitting end to the session dominated by India.
Some good thinking from captain Kohli resulted in Aaron Finch's wicket before Marcus Harris threw away a start with a bad shot. Jadeja then got rid of a settled Usman Khawaja. Bumrah bowled an absolute yorker to trap Shaun Marsh to end the session.

5.Japrit Bumrah clean bowls Travis Head

Japrit Bumrah starts the session like he ended the last one- on fire. He cleans Travis Head (20) up with a beauty as Auatralia lose half the side for just 92. It was a fuller length delivery from around the wicket and Head tried to hit his way out but got the inside edge as he was beaten by pace. It went on to knock the middle and leg stump. Bumrah has his third wicket.

7.Shami sends back Cummins

Mohammed Shami strikes on his return to the attack. A promising stand of 36 is broken. He charges in and attacks the stumps with a length ball around off, it nips back in and goes right through Pat Cummins' defense. Nothing he could do about it, was just too good. Australia lose another wicket. They need another 105 runs to avoid the follow-on.
