Australia takes narrow lead over India into day four after bowlers struggle at the Gabba

Australia’s hopes of reclaiming the Border-Gavaskar Trophy are on a knife’s edge after day three of the final Test at the Gabba.

The hosts take a 54-run lead into day four with openers David Warner (20 not out) and Marcus Harris (1 not out) at the crease.

Needing a win to take back the silverware, Australia ran into resistance from Indian newcomers Washington Sundar and Shardul Thakur just when they thought they were getting on top of the game.

India was eventually bowled out for 336, just 33 runs behind Australia’s first innings of 369, despite the tail being ostensibly exposed.

Josh Hazlewood produced the excellent figures of 5-59 on a difficult day for bowlers.

Australia would have hoped for a much better day after removing overnight…
