Australia in commanding position against India in third Test at SCG after pivotal day three in Sydney
Australia has closed day three of the third Test against India at the SCG in a commanding position, leading by 197 runs while only two wickets down in its second innings.
On a day that many expected would decide the match, Australia’s bowling unit was superbly supported in the field to bowl India out for 244, before a composed evening with the bat further extended the lead.
Pat Cummins was the pick of Australia’s bowlers, finishing with 4-29 from 21 impeccable overs, but three run outs were equally as costly for India as the match began to slip away.
Despite the loss of both Australian openers, Marnus Labuschagne (47*) and Steve Smith (29*) steered Australia to 2-103 at stumps and look set to add to the advantage on day four.
