Just after Gill got his hundred, Murphy provided Australians with a huge breakthrough in the form of Pujara. He snared Pujara LBW. India's Test specialist departed after scoring 42 runs.
Shubman Gill scored a century. It was an on-side delivery and Gill sweeps it over towards the fine leg and got a hundred in style. What an innings it has been!! India are in a commanding position.
Gill smashed two back-to-back boundaries against Green. Earlier, the Punjab-based batter was looking uncomfortable against Green but then he hit him twice in the over. The first one was towards the extra cover region and the other one he smacked through the covers.
Indian batters are playing good cricket here, especially against Australian spinners. Both Pujara and Gill are batting patiently and hitting away loose balls. Gill is getting closer to his century.
India had a good first session where they scored 93 runs in 27 overs. After losing the wicket fo Rohit Sharma, Gill and Pujara held the fort and have been batting well against the Australian bowlers. Gill is batting at 65 and Pujara is at 22.
What a way to get a fifty!! Shubman Gill smashed a half-century in style. He placed that ball off his back foot and got a boundary against Mitchell Starc. That's great batting!!
India suffered a huge blow as Rohit was sent back to the pavilion by Kuhnemann. Rohit was looking to hit the ball off his back foot but then he miscued it and Labuschagne took the catch at short cover point.
Here comes the first boundary of the day. It was a good-length delivery from Starc and Gill placed it towards the cover region for a boundary. What a SHOT!!
Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill have started the proceedings on day 3 for India. Mitchell Starc bowled the first over today for Australia, bowled the first ball on pads and Rohit glances it fine towards the fine leg.
