Massive day coming up in Adelaide as Agarwal and Bumrah make their way out to the middle with India 1/9. India fans, what’s the target you got in mind?Massive day coming up in Adelaide as Agarwal and Bumrah make their way out to the middle with India 1/9. India fans, what’s the target you got in mind? Right then, Starc with the ball in hand, and LET’S PLAY….. Agarwal defends the ball quietly.
India lost Prithvi Shaw (4) cheaply for the second successive innings during a nervy six overs to finish the day at 9/1 for an overall lead of 62 runs. Mayank Agarwal was unbeaten on 5 while Bumrah had yet to score.
Welcome to India vs Australia 1st Test Day 3
An engrossing Test match is unfolding at the Adelaide Oval with India and Australia wrestling for control, trading punches and counterpunches. For most of the day, India had their noses in front, fuelled by a hostile and collective bowling effort, before Tim Paine’s valiant counterattack rekindled Australia’s hopes.
When India were bowled out for 244, they would have merrily welcomed a first-innings lead of 53 runs. But having stalled Australia to 111/7, they would rue not achieving a lead of match-defining propositions on a progressively slow surface. That they lost one of their openers, Prithvi Shaw at the fag end of the day would compound their frustration.

India XI: Prithvi Shaw, Mayank Agarwal, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli (c), Ajinkya Rahane, Hanuma Vihari, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah
