India vs Australia Highlights 3rd Test Day 1: Australia 156/4 at Stumps, lead by 47 runs
16:48 (IST)
Finally, on the tour of India, Australia have a day when they were the best team throughout. India's decision to bat first backfired on a pitch that assisted spinners from word go. Along with spinners spitting fire, the poor shot selection from batters resulted in India being bowled out for 109. In reply, Usman Khawaja scored 60 and helped Australia take the lead. Marnus Labuschagne also scored 31.
Australia now lead by 47 runs and if they can take it 100, that will be a big advantage.
That's all from our end. Goodbye!

After 40 overs,Australia 120/2 ( Usman Khawaja 60 , Steven Smith (C) 3)
A small partnership is building again. Khawaja and Smith have put up 12 together in 7 overs. What has helped Aussie batters today is the lack of discipline from Indian bowlers. There's always a loose ball around the corner to release the pressure. When they are on the money, things like Labuschange getting bowled to Jadeja has happened but a total of four no balls have been given away today, which is a crime.

We are back after lunch. India have Ashwin and Axar batting, while Matt Kuhnemann, who has three wickets so far, will start the proceedings for Australia in the second session of the day.
11:43 (IST)
IND vs AUS LIVE SCORE
Perfect start for Australia. Their batters will have it tough but right now their spinners are shining. India have lost seven wickets in just the first session of the match. While Lyon and Kuhnemann were great, the shot selection from Rohit, who got stumped, and Iyer, who chopped on, wasn't great. Horizontal shots on this track are equivalent to batting suicide.
India still have Ashwin and Axar batting, and the management will hope they can take the team to at least 150, if not more.

India vs Australia 3rd Test preview: India will have an eye on the spot in the World Test Championship final when they take on Australia in the third Test at Indore which starts on 1 March. Having already won the first two matches and retained the Border-Gavaksar Trophy, it’s also an opportunity for India to capture the four-Test series. Winning the series with the Ahmedabad match to go, India would be able to focus on preparing for the WTC final in the fourth Test.
Both the matches so far in the series, in Nagpur and Indore, finished inside three days each with Indian spinners ruling the proceedings. It’s to be seen if Indore presents a similar track that assists spinners. Yet, despite the nature of the pitch, India may still be forced to make a change given the poor form of KL Rahul. The opener was removed as vice captain but was retained in the squad for Indore and Ahmedabad Tests. He has only scored 38 runs in three innings so far in the Test series and could make way for Shubman Gill who has been in great form in ODIs and T20Is since the start of the year.
IND vs AUS: Live streaming details
India captain Rohit Sharma, however, was in no mood to give away his playing XI for the Indore Test.
“I spoke about it after the last game as well. Players who are going through a tough time, given their potential they will be given enough time to prove themselves,” Rohit said in a media interaction ahead of the match. “Being vice captain or otherwise doesn’t tell you anything. At that point in time he was the vice captain. His removal as vice captain doesn’t indicate anything.”
“As far as 11 is concerned, I would like to do it at the toss. I prefer it that way considering last minute injuries are a possibility.”
Apart from Rahul, India are not expected to make any changes to their side.
Australia, on the other hand, will be making a few changes. Skipper Pat Cummins has gone back home due to his mother’s illness and opener David Warner is out injured. Mitchell Starc is expected to play his first match of the series, while Travis Head is expected to open in place of Warner.
IND vs AUS: Kasprowicz wants Australia to play three pacers in Indore
The sweep shot led to the downfall of multiple Aussie batters in Delhi, but stand-in skipper Smith backed his teammates to continue playing the shot.
“Delhi was probably a difficult place to play the sweep with the variable bounce, more than anything else. A couple of us (including Smith) went away from our plans. That was disappointing.
“For a few players, the sweep is a very productive shot. They have got to stick to it a 100 percent. If they are going to play it, they’ve to commit to it a 100 percent,” he said.
Smith also revealed his plan to put Indian spinners under pressure.
“For us, it’s about sticking to our plans and methods for long periods of time. In the second innings in Delhi, a lot of us went away from our plans and got undone by them.
“We can hopefully apply pressure on the spinners and post good totals on the board. That’s key for us. Hopefully, we can put that into practice in the middle and execute under pressure,” said Smith.
India will seal a WTC final spot with a win in Indore.
Squad:
Australia: Scott Boland, Alex Carey, Cameron Green, Peter Handscomb, Travis Head, Usman Khawaja, Matt Kuhnemann, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Lance Morris, Todd Murphy, Matthew Renshaw, Steve Smith (captain), Mitchell Starc, Mitchell Swepson.
India: Rohit Sharma (c), KL Rahul (vc), Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KS Bharat, Ishan Kishan, Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, Umesh Yadav, Suryakumar Yadav, Jaydev Unadkat.
