Rookie spinner Matt Kuhnemann takes 5-16 as tourists then reach 156-4 to establish lead of 47
Tourists then reach 156-4 to establish lead of 47Australia have responded from two embarrassing defeats to enjoy a rare day of dominance in India and take control of the third Test on a rank turner of a pitch in Indore.
India have already burned all three of their reviews as Jadeja attempted to continue his stranglehold over Australia. Australia’s trio of spinners – Kuhnemann, Nathan Lyon and Todd Murphy – took nine wickets before India’s innings ended 30 minutes into the second session when Mohammed Siraj was run out.
The hosts briefly steadied through Virat Kohli but young spin sensation Todd Murphy claimed the Indian superstar’s wicket for the third time this series. Starc and Green opened the bowling after returning for their first match since suffering respective finger injuries during the Boxing Day Test win against South Africa.
