IND vs AUS 3rd Test Live Score Day 3: After the opening day was cut short to 13.2 overs, the play has been extended by half-an-hour early for the remaining days of the Brisbane Test. Australia cashed in on the red-hot form of middle order batter Travis Head complemented by the resurgence of senior man Steve Smith as the duo made the Indians tiresome by the end of the second day, where a total of 87.4 overs were bowled.
Head and Smith slammed centuries in contrasting fashions – one undoubtedly pressing the accelerator and nullifying all the hurdles with nonchalance – while the other made improvements in his technical superiority to end the century drought in the format he’s known to master after a span of 18 months. The Indians were left clueless to bowl anything to the duo, it just seemed to scratch head against the wall but then they catapulted their potent weapon in such crunch situations to bail them out of ignominy.
Bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah managed to control the damage by striking regularly, getting the likes of Smith, Head and Mitchell Marsh back to the Australian dressing room in the final session to add to his morning scalps of Usman Khawaja and Nathan McSweeney as the 12th Test fifer unfolded.
Alex Carey dented India’s spirit later in the day by adding the imperative unbeaten 45 runs to take his team’s score past 400 as the hosts finished the day at 405 for seven. Carey will resume the innings on the morning of Day 3 in the company of Mitchell Starc and the pair would aim to escalate the mammoth score towards 450-480 if not anything. India, without a doubt, would want to pick the last three Aussie wickets in quick succession before giving themselves a shot to take a lead in the first innings.
