At Tea on Day three of the second Test, Australia are ahead by 76 runs, with 33/0 on board. However, the Aussies have a reason to worry as their star opener Aaron Finch walked-off the field on the last ball before Tea after injuring his finger. Due to the injury, Aaron Finch had to retire hurt and Usman Khawaja came out to join Marcus Harris after the tea break.
However, before being forced from the field with a finger injury, Aaron Finch produced a sublime drive.
It seems that luck does not favor Ishant Sharma. After substandard performance with the bat, the senior speedster missed wickets of both the Australian openers. While in his third over he nearly got Aaron finch out behind the stumps, Pujara dropped Marcus Harris at first slip in the fifth over bowled by Sharma.
A short ball from Bumrah crashed into Harris' helmet and knocked him on his back. After the blow, he seems all good, but a new helmet was on the way out to him.
Australia were 33 for no loss in their second innings of the second Test against India, extending their overall lead to 76 runs. Responding to Australia's first-innings total of 326, India were all out for 283.
India lost crucial wickets before posting 252/7 in their first innings at lunch on the third day. Rishabh Pant was batting on 14 at the break.
The visitors suffered a big blow just before the break when skipper Virat Kohli was caught in the slips off a Pat Cummings delivery. Kohli scored an excellent century in difficult circumstances that contained bucket loads of grit and determination as well as as pure class.
