IND vs AUS (India National Cricket Team vs Australia National Cricket Team) 3rd Test Day 3 Live Updates: Australia wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey smashed his seventh Test fifty as the third day’s play resumed at the Gabba. The hosts have already piled up a mountain of scores and whatever the tailenders add to the board will be a huge plus for Australia.
India will look to make quick work of the remaining Australian batters and get going with the bat as soon as possible. The Aussies who already have a 400+ score will look to add some quick runs to their score and focus on their bowling.
There is a slight chance that rain might interrupt the day’s play, but the chances of precipitation decrease drastically in the afternoon. It remains to be seen if there will be overcast conditions, possibly benefiting the bowling side.
India’s XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), Rohit Sharma (c), Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep
Australia’s XI: Usman Khawaja, Nathan McSweeney, Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Alex Carey (wk), Pat Cummins (c), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Josh Hazlewood

Josh Hazlewood is the last man in.
116.3 – OUT! CLEANED’EM UP! Mohammed Siraj gets his second and a much deserved wicket!
116.2 – Very full, on off, Nathan Lyon looks to drive it straight but gets an inside edge onto his pads.
116.1 – Fires in a yorker straight up does Siraj. Nathan Lyon does very well to get his bat down in time and digs it out to the on side.
Mohammed Siraj is seen loosening up near the ropes, so, we could see him into the attack soon. The field comes up for the last ball of the over.
115.6 – FOUR! Akash Deep continues to dig it in short, over middle and Carey goes deep in the crease and pulls it through the vacant mid-wicket region for a boundary. Nathan Lyon to face the next over then!

113.5 – Fuller, on off, Nathan Lyon punches it to deep point and scampers two good runs.
113.5 – Oh dear, that’s wayward from Akash Deep! Very full and very wide on off, outside the cut strip. Rishabh Pant does exceptionally well to dive to his left and stop the ball as the batters steal a run. It is given as a wide because the ball was past the popping crease when it landed outside the cut strip.

112.5 – Drags the length down by a bit and keeps it around off, Nathan Lyon steers it to short third.
The mop-up work is complete and we are all set for the play to resume. The two umpires and players have made their way out to the middle. Ravindra Jadeja is at the top of his mark. Jadeja to Carey. Let’s play…
