India vs Australia: Day 3 Highlights: Cummins, Hazlewood's bowling exploits guide hosts to 8-wicket win
Adelaide, December 19: Australian bowlers would be aiming to claw their way back into the game and restrict India to as low total as possible when they step into the middle on day three of the pink-ball test here on Saturday (December 19).
After getting folded for 244 in their first innings, bowlers put India on the driver’s seat after restricting the Aussies to 191 in their first innings. If Ashwin spun a web with figures of 4/55, Umesh Yadav bowled brilliantly to finish with 3/40. Having taken a 53-run lead — something which could have been more had the last three Australian wickets not added 80 runs.

India were 9/1 in their second essay at stumps. The 62-run lead with nine wickets in the bag could prove to be crucial as the wicket isn’t getting any better for batting.
The Indians lost their first wicket early when Pat Cummins clean bowled young opener, Prithvi Shaw, for 4. But Mayank Agarwal (5) and nightwatchman Jasprit Bumrah (0) battled it out against Cummins and Mitchell Starc in the dying stages of the second day.
They will look to start afresh on Day 3 and add some runs on the board to ensure their teammates put a heavy score on the board.

Big Wicket! Cheteshwar Pujara (0) edges Pat Cummins and Tim Paine doesn’t do anything wrong to catch him. India have lost their 3rd wicket for 15. Cummins has so far picked all three wickets in the second innings.
09:40 am

This is something which Mayank would like to improve.

1st Innings – 71.75
2nd Innings – 23.16#AUSvIND— The CricViz Analyst (@cricvizanalyst) December 19, 2020

Four! 1st runs of the day for India came from Agarwal’s bat as he flicks Mitchell Starc towards mid-wicket and gets a boundary. Brilliantly timed! With that shot Mayank Agarwal completes 1000 Test runs. Fastest to 1000 runs as an opener for India in 19* innings.
09:30 am
Overnight batsmen Mayank Agarwal and Jasprit Bumrah to resume batting on Day 3. Mitchell Starc to start the proceedings for hosts.
09:24 am
What should Indians do on Day 3 to put themselves on top in this game.
Mantra for India: Bat the entire day, win the Test. Not easy on a two-paced pitch, sluggish outfield and an Aussie side determined not to be humbled for the first time in a D/N match. Therein lies the challenge

Which one was your favourite catch of 2020?
Virat Kohli’s beautiful catch yesterday got me thinking of what might be my favourite catch in 2020. This is it: Ravi Jadeja’s one handed hanger, taking out Wagner in the second NZ Test. Which 2020 catch is your fave? #AUSvIND https://t.co/hM9HzeLZPr
