The areas on either side of the stumps were kept slightly dry, and the line of the stumps was watered and rolled. Smith’s men must be ready for whatever hostilities India might dish out in front of a likely sold-out Holkar Stadium on the first day.-Ayan Acharya Rohit and Shubman Gill batted together in the nets on Tuesday after Gill and KL Rahul had spent significant time batting side by side just a day prior. The first change in the bowling as Smith gives the ball to spinner Matthew Kuhnemann and he strikes in the first over. It’s dry from around a six-meter length to the crease at either end. Delhi was a tough place to employ the sweep. But Australia’s barebones batting and India’s unparalleled home dominance — India has lost only 2 out of 43 Test matches at home in the last 10 years — have rendered it a one-sided fight. A cracking shot over covers to register for the second four on the innings. This is a very overcooked wicket, it is dry and has started to crumble. However, it is a big miss as the replay shows a clear spike as the ball gets a nick, but lucky Rohit survives. Both Rohit and Gill are now dealing with boundaries at the moment with few hit-and-miss in between. He takes the second wicket and sends the other opener back in just two overs.

Mitchell Starc reckons his finger is “good enough” to play five days Test cricket (if we get there). “If I only played when I was at 100 per cent I would ...

It’s wide and over-pitched and the India skipper pounces to crash a cut shot to the boundary. After their crazy capitulation in Delhi, Australia has been pilloried in the press and piled-on by a legion of Test greats who deplored their T20 ‘hit out until you get out’ approach and lemming-like devotion to the sweep shot. “I’m happy with where it’s at and I’ve built up enough of a pain threshold to deal with that stuff over the past 10 or 12 years.” And in worse news for the Australians, replays of a later Starc delivery that ducked between bat and pad show it didn’t catch the edge… Or does he want to take the pace off the ball and slow this torrent of runs to a trickle. Either way he’s back for a third over and Rohit Sharma gives him fresh cause for complaint, casually stepping out to lift Starc’s third ball over long-off to the boundary. The fourth ball stays low and goes under the bat. and too fast for the back up fielder who nutmegs it and has to watch it roll to the boundary. Or perhaps he was making a complaint to the match referee about the standard of umpiring? Pujara made a mess of that, played all over it and when it spun back sharply, it squared him up and went straight through to skittle the stumps. Carey whips off the bails and the Indian skipper is out stumped. 8th over: India 35-2 (Pujara 1, Kohli 1) Matt Kuhnemann to Virat Kohli and the young spinner makes the master batter look a tad foolish!

Good morning and welcome to Indore for the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar series. Australia arrives 0-2 down and without their captain.

Australia reached 71 for one in their first innings in reply to India's 109 at tea on the opening day of the third Test.

Australia 1st Innings: 71 for 1 in 22 overs (Usman Khawaja 33 batting, Marnus Labuschagne 16 batting; Ravindra Jadeja 1/28). Left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann (5/16) and Nathan Lyon (3/35) starred with the ball for Australia on a pitch that offered vicious turn. Usman Khawaja (33 not out) and Marnus Labuschagne (16 not out) batted cautiously after the early dismissal of Travis Head (9).

India: Rohit Sharma (capt), Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Ravindra Jadeja, KS Bharat, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Umesh Yadav ...

Must say I wasn’t enamoured at all with Australia’s DRS use in the second Test and more of the same so far. Big appeal from the Aussies and there’s a suspicious noise via the on-field microphones. Very first ball, Mitchell Starc with the rock and beating the outside edge of Rohit. Rohit comes down the wicket and is beaten with flight and turn away from the bat, Alex Carey with a simple stumping. Replays of that LBW shout against Rohit have just rolled in too, and the Indian skipper is leading a charmed life. Kuhnemann operating with two slips and he’s on the boil with serious turn on day one.

India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bat in the third Test against Australia here on Wednesday with young opener Shubman Gill comin.

Leading 2-0 in a four-match series, India are sitting pretty and just need to make one tough decision of choosing between out-of-form K L Rahul and Shubman Gill. If India get to bat on day one, the conditions will be ideal for the likes of Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli to pile on the runs. Since they can't be expected to get runs in the lower order regularly, the onus lies on the top-order. Hopefully we can execute our skills early and out the Indian batters under pressure. India have already taken a 2-0 lead in the four-Test series to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. India openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill are at the crease. Steve Smith and his men are making their way to the middle. Australia miss out on a big big wicket. The Indian skipper misses the turn and Alex Carey collects the ball and dislodges the bails to show Rohit the way back to the pavilion. Jadeja takes a review. Jadeja survives a LBW call and loses his wicket on the very next ball. India have already taken a 2-0 lead in the four-Test series to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.Read Less

Ravindra Jadeja continues his top-form since the comeback as he picked four wickets in his spell on first day. India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was promoted to bat up the order. He was adjudged leg-before wicket but reviewed the decision to survive a close call against Lyon but played a loose shot to gift his wicket on the very next ball. The spinner was on song, bowling beautifully on a pitch that offered turn and bounce. India was off to a quick start with the openers finding boundaries regularly, racing to 26/0 at the end of five overs. Australian spin attack dominated the day’s play as hosts fell prey to the plans.

Ravindra Jadeja skittled out Steve Smith, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, and Travis Head in the ongoing third Test match in Indore. Earlier, Matthew Kuhnemann registered his maiden five-wicket haul in Test cricket as Australia reigned supreme in the Holkar stadium.

"The pitch was not up to Test standard, I think that's a fair thing to say. "You're allowed to have a four or five day Test match! Nathan Lyon (3-35) then bowled Cheteshwar Pujara for one as the ball started turning sharply, with Ravindra Jadeja caught at cover for four.

Former India wicket-keeping batter Parthiv Patel has said that Ravindra Jadeja bowled the correct lengths against Australia on Day 1 of the Indore Test.

Jadeja was India’s most successful bowler, picking up four wickets as Australia ended the day at 156/4, leading India by 47 runs. He will have to persist with that length, this will become very important while bowling on a pitch like this,” Patel added. There is help from the pitch but you will have to give the ball some time as well.

[By India Today Sports Desk](/author/india-today-sports-desk): Matthew Kuihnemann said on Wednesday, March 1 that watching Ravindra Jadeja bowl from close quarters in the Delhi Test between India and Australia helped him understand the basics of spin-bowling in India better. "I said to him, have you got any tips for me after the last Test? That’s probably the main thing I took out of the second Test and brought into this Test, probably my length.

Ravichandran Ashwin, perhaps eager to stamp himself on the game, was a touch too quick through the air and did not attack the stumps often enough, ending the day with 16 wicketless overs. Very rarely does this Indian team get in wrong in multiple aspects of the game on a single day. Kohli got to 22, off 52 balls, when he made his first mistake, looking to work the ball to leg against the off spin of Todd Murphy. A classic had been taken as the base and overthought to the extent that the result was unpalatable. "Maybe because of the moisture, the ball turned sharply in the morning.

However, the decision backfired as India were bundled out for 109 in just 33.2 overs. The biggest disadvantage India will start Day 2 with is that they have no reviews left. Both the batters have enough potential to drag the match from India's favour. “I remember we pushed him up the order as well to give him that responsibility and he has not looked back. However, the big picture here is the ICC World Test Championship final spot, which India can seal with a win, and the team will be aiming for that.

With cracks visible even before the start of play, Australia turned to spin just six overs in and were immediately rewarded. Boy, what a day of cricket we had ourselves yesterday! No balls appeared to have troubled them as of yet. That's the first sign of aggression we've seen from the Aussies today. Starting to keep VERY low here on this absolutely shocking Indore pitch.

Beating the outside off. BIG TURN OUTSIDE OFF! Doesn't matter because there was no fielder in the vicinity. Lovely ball, beating the outside edge of the Indian skipper. It was wide, but Pujara danced down the pitch to get to it and hammer the ball away. Was it a stumping? Was there an edge? In the air off the inside edge, past bat pad and away for no run to backward square leg. Was that a drop? A chance? IN THE AIR! By Simon Smale

In the end, the frazzled minds and tortured techniques from the Delhi Test looked like memories of a distant past as Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne battled hard to keep the visitor alive in the series, albeit with slices of luck. From India losing half its side to spin for less than 50, to Todd Murphy looking like he has got Virat Kohli’s number, taking the former India captain’s wicket for the second time in as many Tests, to failing to make 150 having elected to bat first, it was a dismal day for India. Umesh gets the ball to move in from back-of-a-length. Umesh gets the other set batter Green in the next over. Australia all out for 197. Ashwin gets the last man Lyon, who goes for a sweep only to see his stumps disturbed.
