The areas on either side of the stumps were kept slightly dry, and the line of the stumps was watered and rolled. Smith’s men must be ready for whatever hostilities India might dish out in front of a likely sold-out Holkar Stadium on the first day.-Ayan Acharya Rohit and Shubman Gill batted together in the nets on Tuesday after Gill and KL Rahul had spent significant time batting side by side just a day prior. The first change in the bowling as Smith gives the ball to spinner Matthew Kuhnemann and he strikes in the first over. It’s dry from around a six-meter length to the crease at either end. Delhi was a tough place to employ the sweep. But Australia’s barebones batting and India’s unparalleled home dominance — India has lost only 2 out of 43 Test matches at home in the last 10 years — have rendered it a one-sided fight. A cracking shot over covers to register for the second four on the innings. This is a very overcooked wicket, it is dry and has started to crumble. However, it is a big miss as the replay shows a clear spike as the ball gets a nick, but lucky Rohit survives. Both Rohit and Gill are now dealing with boundaries at the moment with few hit-and-miss in between. He takes the second wicket and sends the other opener back in just two overs.

Just stick to our methods for longer periods, we went away from it especially in the second innings in the last game. Cummins and Warner are replaced by Cameron Green and Mitchell Starc. KL Rahul has given way to Shubman Gill and Mohammed Shami has been rested and he is being replaced by Umesh Yadav. India also decided to rest pace bowler Mohammed Shami, bringing in Umesh Yadav for the game. IND vs AUS LIVE: The ball spins away from the bat and wicketkeeper Alex Carey removes the bails in a flash. Starc got Rohit to nick the first delivery of the match to wicketkeeper Alex Carey. Rohit decided to take the aggressive route against Kuhnemann too but got stumped. Shubmna Gill looks to push forward and defend. Slow good length delivery on off stump. Pujara rocks back to cut but fails to connect and the ball hits the stumps. IND vs AUS LIVE: WICKET!

Stand-in skipper Steve Smith's experience in India can prove decisive in turning things around for beleaguered Australians at Indore Test starting today; ...

At least he had the satisfaction of leading the team to a huge victory in the opening game in Pune before India turned things around. He also captained the side in the 2016-17 series in India which Australia lost 1-2. “We have many things on our hands to deal with and we concentrate on our issues, how we have to go about [things] in the Test match. Smith had led in three Test matches against India in Australia in 2014, winning one and drawing the other two. Apart from his captaincy, Smith is also a batsman of high calibre who can inspire the beleaguered batsmen in his side by example. His leadership may pep up the Aussie spirits after being two-down in the series as he has a vast amount of experience playing in India and understands the conditions far better than most players in the squad.

Mitchell Starc reckons his finger is “good enough” to play five days Test cricket (if we get there). “If I only played when I was at 100 per cent I would ...

It’s wide and over-pitched and the India skipper pounces to crash a cut shot to the boundary. After their crazy capitulation in Delhi, Australia has been pilloried in the press and piled-on by a legion of Test greats who deplored their T20 ‘hit out until you get out’ approach and lemming-like devotion to the sweep shot. “I’m happy with where it’s at and I’ve built up enough of a pain threshold to deal with that stuff over the past 10 or 12 years.” And in worse news for the Australians, replays of a later Starc delivery that ducked between bat and pad show it didn’t catch the edge… Or does he want to take the pace off the ball and slow this torrent of runs to a trickle. Either way he’s back for a third over and Rohit Sharma gives him fresh cause for complaint, casually stepping out to lift Starc’s third ball over long-off to the boundary. The fourth ball stays low and goes under the bat. and too fast for the back up fielder who nutmegs it and has to watch it roll to the boundary. Or perhaps he was making a complaint to the match referee about the standard of umpiring? Pujara made a mess of that, played all over it and when it spun back sharply, it squared him up and went straight through to skittle the stumps. Carey whips off the bails and the Indian skipper is out stumped. 8th over: India 35-2 (Pujara 1, Kohli 1) Matt Kuhnemann to Virat Kohli and the young spinner makes the master batter look a tad foolish!

Trouble for the batters on this pitch. Since spin has come into the game in the 6th over India has lost three wickets. The ball is spinning sharply.

Timeline

Good morning and welcome to Indore for the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar series. Australia arrives 0-2 down and without their captain.

Timeline

On a rank turner in Indore, Matthew Kuhnemann took his first international five-wicket haul; Virat Kohli top scored for India with 22.

However, both departed towards the end of the session to end a rather forgettable sessions for the hosts. Spin was introduced in the sixth over and Kuhnemman got the ball to turn sharply. Cheteshwar Pujara’s stay lasted only four balls as Lyon got one to turn massively from wide off stump that crashed into the middle stump. Starc’s first over to Rohit was among the highlights of the session. Ball tracking showed the ball would have hit the off stump but Australia decided against taking DRS again. Three balls later, Starc got the ball to swing back in and it flicked Rohit’s pads.

Australia reached 71 for one in their first innings in reply to India's 109 at tea on the opening day of the third Test here on Wednesday.

We will have to bat well in the second innings,” Rathour added. The plan was to trust your defense and wait for the loose balls and score as many as runs you can. We as a team we want to play on turning tracks. The batters have done well (in the series). Rohit has played a good innings, as well as Jadeja and Axar.” But yeah since the WTC has started there is more pressure to win more home games. It was one of those days when everything you did went into the hands (of fielders). It felt like it had gone slower later in the day. It wasn’t turning as sharply as it was in the morning.” Asked, if the batters did deviate from their plans, Rathour replied in negative. To be fair this is a one off wicket. “Of course you can get out as a batting unit at times but we do prefer to play on turning tracks. It is may be drier than we expected and we saw that.

The match is a long way yet from conclusion, with potential twists and turns, but Australia showed on Wednesday that they have rediscovered the virtues that made them, of their courage to not yield or surrender And in their resurrection, they have breathed life too into what was unfolding as an utterly lopsided series. With the newer and the oldish, he found turn, sometimes rasping turn, and it was he who dwelled permanently on the mind of India’s batsmen. But here, they batted as resolutely and comfortably as they had in the entire series. He nailed Pujara with the second ball, and in the next over Jadeja. That was perhaps the more pressing concern too, given how they had folded up in [Delhi](https://indianexpress.com/section/cities/delhi/) and Nagpur. He attributed this variance to the ball getting softer, but he was under-cutting the ball to exaggerate the variable-bounce effect. It turned out to be a day when he out-bowled the man whose footage he watches every day. It was a day they needed heroes and a day they found heroes. Or that he was playing against two of his idols, Jadeja and Ravi Ashwin. The returning seamer Mitchell Starc was the first hero, despatching a first over of pure left-handed wickedness to tone-set the resurgence. With the sixth ball, he removed Sharma, masterminding a collapse that soon had India reeling at 44/4. For most of the day though, they conveyed an impression that they were exerting too hard for a flurry of wickets that never arrived.

At present, India are favourites to whitewash the Aussie and storm into the WTC final. In such a scenario, they will have to hope for Sri Lanka to not whitewash the hosts New Zealand in their forthcoming two-match Test series. We aren't there yet (WTC final) and we have to come and win this game, we have to try and repeat the things we did in the first two Tests. India have been top-notch in the first two Tests versus Australia -- banking on Rohit Sharma's form, lower-order runs and spinners -- to win the back-to-back games and are just a step away from entering the WTC final, for the second time in a row. Having an unassailable 2-0 lead, India are very close to finalising a spot in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) final. Hence, India already have one foot in the WTC finale.

Spinner Matthew Kuhnemann's five-wicket haul and a 60 by Usman Khawaja helped Australia grab the early advantage in Indore.

We will have to bat well in the second innings,” Rathour added. “The plan was to trust your defense and wait for the loose balls and score as many as runs you can. It wasn’t turning as sharply as it was in the morning,” he said. Even after a couple of wickets, he said ‘don’t get ahead of yourself’. It felt like it had gone slower later in the day. The BCCI had said that, owing to harsh winter conditions in the region, the outfield at HPCA lacked sufficient grass density and will need some time to develop fully. They had a Ranji season here and it is pretty late it that was decided the game will be shifted from Dharamsala. It was one of those days when everything you did went into the hands (of fielders). They did not get enough time,” said the former India opener. That is our strength, that is where we are really good as a unit. To be fair this is a one off wicket. “Of course you can get out as a batting unit at times but we do prefer to play on turning tracks.

India had a forgettable day in the park when they locked horns with Australia in the third and penultimate Test, in Indore, on Wednesday (March 01).

In addition, he surpassed former head coach Ravi Shastri's tally (22) in the process. Umesh, who featured in the playing XI in place of a rested Md Shami, scored an entertaining 13-ball 17, comprising two sixes, and equalled Virat Kohli in an elite batting list.

The ball spun but a touch slower than the first. And whenever the ball landed in the dry area – mostly red soil – it found a sharp turn and bounce. So whenever the ball landed in those parts – which had a bit of grass cover – it kept low.

Coming into bat, Australia lost Travis Head early but a solid partnership between Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne helped Australia overcome that blow. His bowling partner Nathan Lyon, meanwhile, took care of Chesteshwar Pujara, Ravindra Jadeja and Srikar Bharat.

However, the decision backfired as India were bundled out for 109 in just 33.2 overs. The biggest disadvantage India will start Day 2 with is that they have no reviews left. Both the batters have enough potential to drag the match from India's favour. “I remember we pushed him up the order as well to give him that responsibility and he has not looked back. However, the big picture here is the ICC World Test Championship final spot, which India can seal with a win, and the team will be aiming for that.

Playing surface offers turn and grip from the word go as India toil to post just 109; Kuhnemann picks fifer.

Yet, it was a bunsen before the sizable weekday crowd had broken for lunch on the opening day. Off the next ball, a touch shorter and wide off the off stump, he went to cut it. In fact, the average degree of turn in the first session was 4.9*, a full degree greater than the average of the entire match at New Delhi. At lunch with the hosts at 84/7, it was curious to see coach Rahul Dravid come down from the pavilion to have a close look at the surface. Shreyas Iyer came and went in a blink and it was 44/5 after the first hour. Normalcy was restored pretty soon as Kohli was trapped in front, the delivery straightening after pitching. The left-arm spinner, though, was relegated to a subplot. After an auspicious start by the hosts — Sharma was out twice in the first over but the visitors didn’t opt to take reviews so early — Kuhnemann sent Sharma packing thanks to a ball that gripped, jumped and beat his outside edge. According to a graphic put out by the host broadcaster, the degree of turn on that ball was 6.8*. On Wednesday, another name was added to the above list; Matthew Kuhnemann. One can only speculate if there was not enough time to prepare a Test match-worthy wicket -- the third match, after all, was originally slated to be held in Dharamsala before it was rearranged — but it certainly looked a touch on the undercooked side. INDORE: ON Tuesday, Rohit Sharma had raised the possibility of requesting a green seamer for the fourth Test if the hosts made it 3-0 at Indore.

In the end, the frazzled minds and tortured techniques from the Delhi Test looked like memories of a distant past as Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne battled hard to keep the visitor alive in the series, albeit with slices of luck. From India losing half its side to spin for less than 50, to Todd Murphy looking like he has got Virat Kohli’s number, taking the former India captain’s wicket for the second time in as many Tests, to failing to make 150 having elected to bat first, it was a dismal day for India. Umesh gets the ball to move in from back-of-a-length. Umesh gets the other set batter Green in the next over. Australia all out for 197. Ashwin gets the last man Lyon, who goes for a sweep only to see his stumps disturbed.

Kuhnemann conceded he had never played on a pitch that turned as much as Indore and had been guided from mid-off by where Nathan Lyon had stationed himself.

Kuhnemann, cricket.com.au noted, was as shocked as anyone when he was told midway through that match, just his second first-class game of the season and the 13th of his career, that he would be flying to [Delhi](https://indianexpress.com/section/cities/delhi/) to join the Test squad. This after he had closely watched how the Indian allrounder varied his angle on the crease across the first two Tests and shifted to a shorter length after the ball lost its shine. While he impressed in his maiden international campaign and stayed on as net bowler for the Test series against Sri Lanka that ensued, hopes of winning a Baggy Green anytime soon seemed farfetched,” the website noted. Me and Todd (Murphy) were on the MRF tour in [Ravindra Jadeja](https://indianexpress.com/about/ravindra-jadeja/)’s bowling in the final hours of play the same day as his Sheffield Shield match against Victoria. “Last year he was helicoptered from Hambantota, on Sri Lanka’s south coast, to Kandy, in the island’s central hill region, to replace Ashton Agar during Australia’s ODI series last year.
