On a frustrating day which saw several breaks and little cricket, Australia took a massive advantage. After posting 445 in the first innings, Australian bowlers took advantage of the rain breaks and dismissed four Indian batters before the stumps. Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant all fell cheaply and India now stares at a 394-run deficit at the end of the third day. Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul will begin tomorrow for India.
