Live Cricket Score - Australia vs India 1st Test, Day 3
Lyon Removes Rahane as Hosts Plot Late Fightback
India had to pay the price for their deteriorated fielding effort on the rain-hit second day as Australia continued to toy with Indian bowlers. Michael Clarke, battled back injury to register another Test century, and Steve Smith joined David Warner in scoring hundreds. Catch all the live updates of Day 3
11.28 (IST): OUT! Rahane (62) is gone, caught by Watson at first slip off Lyon. The unexpected bounce made it an unplayable delivery. India 293/4 vs Australia (517/7)
11.11 (IST): Michael Clarke brings on part-time leg-spinner Steve Smith.
11.09 (IST): Fifty for Rahane! His 5th in Tests. There are shades of his recent century at Lord's against England. He would surely want to make this good start count and get a ton. India 264/3 vs Australia (517/7)
10.56 (IST): Rahane is looking to pull and hook every short ball bowled at him. Siddle is looking to test him with deliveries that are short and angled into his body. They have short fine leg in place too. Good contest, this.
10.54 (IST): Rahane is growing in confidence here. With his skipper for company, he moves on to 43 off just 54 balls. India 253/3 vs Australia (517/7)
10.38 (IST): A calm and composed knock from Virat Kohli here, much-needed for his side. What a way to try and erase the scars of his horror show in England. After scores of 1, 8, 25, 0, 39, 28, 0, 7, 6, 20 in England, this innings comes as a relief to his fans.
10.30 (IST): FIFTY for Virat Kohli! It's his 10th in Tests. India 225/3 vs Australia (517/7)
10.15 (IST): End of second session! India take tea at 223/3 with Kohli (48*) and Rahane (19*) in the middle.
10.02 (IST): Mitchell Johnson returns and bowls a testing over to Rahane, beating him outside the off-stump on several occasions. There is even a big appeal for caught behind but rightly turned down by the umpire. India 211/3 vs Australia (517/7)
09.48 (IST): 200 comes up for India!
09.33 (IST): Pujara was in two minds and had danced down the track in the previous delivery, only to defend it awkwardly. His half-hearted forward defence led to his wicket as the ball sneaked through, hit him on the leg and rolled onto the stumps. A bit unfortunate going by how well he was playing until that point. All credit to Lyon who has done extremely well after having been taken to the cleaners by Vijay in the first session.
