Locked at 1-1 in the 4 match Test series in the
Border-Gavasker Trophy, both teams are looking to get a hold on their batting
unit with India being dismissed for 36 in a massive collapse helping Australia
to take the lead and then Australia collapsing in both the innings of the 2nd
test bringing India back to level terms.
Australia batting first in the 3rd test was
looking to revive themselves with the inclusion of their ace batsman, David
Warner and also with an amateur Indian bowling line up having Saini as a
debutant and Siraj, who has only 1 Test under his belt.
Things did not start nicely for the Australians as Warner
went back to the hut edging one from Siraj scoring only 5 runs. Debutant Will
Pucovski and Marnus Labuschagne steadied the ship after a rain interrupted session.
The debutant went on the score his maiden half century after being dropped
twice by Indian Wicket Keeper, Rishab Pant earlier. Finally, the century
partnership came to an end when Navdeep Saini picked up his maiden Test Wicket
trapping Pucovski (62) in front of the stumps. Then Smith and Marnus was able
to see through the days play with an unbeaten 60 run partnership with Murnus
still batting at 67 and Smith at 31 in a day where only 55 overs was possible
due to the rain.
