Indore, 2/3: Australia lost their last six first innings wickets for just 11 runs on Thursday as they collapsed to 197 all out on the second morning of the third Test against India.
India were 13-0 at lunch in their second innings in Indore, trailing by 75 runs, after captain Rohit Sharma (5) and Shubman Gill (4) negotiated a tricky 10-minute period before the interval safely.
Resuming on 156-4, Cameron Green and Peter Handscomb did well to survive the first hour on a spinning pitch with unpredictable bounce, but once they departed India mopped up the rest of the order in a hurry with seamer Umesh Yadav taking three wickets.
The tall Green used his long stride to neutralise India’s spin attack, remaining busy between the wickets as Australia looked to build a solid lead and come back in the four-Test series after defeats in the first two matches.
