Jaiswal in line to become a legend of the game: Manoj Tiwary!

And that will be drinks on the third morning. A breakthrough for Australia but good progress from India. A moment to remember by Jaiswal. A long way back for the home side.

Another hour that has belonged to India with Jaiswal bringing up a hundred in his first Test in Australia. Hazlewood was really good again to start the day and was unlucky again. It was Starc who finally provided the breakthrough, bringing an end to an incredible opening partnership as Raul was caught behind for 77. The old ball has seamed around a bit today. Quite a few plays and misses. But importantly, the lead has stretched to 266. Variable bounce is becoming a factor as well now.

Nikunj: "What should be the defendable total on this pitch ?" 400+ will always be tough, but keeping the bowlers out for as long as possible also comes with benefits in a long series

Basel: "Pat Cummins either needs to deliver yorkers expecting for LBW or bowled out, or bowl a good-length targeting the middle stump. Continuously trying short balls and bouncers isn't working well, as Jaiswal has already learned to leave short deliveries and defend the good balls coming to the stumps. Australia is repeating the same approach and expecting different outcomes, which isn't helping them. If India continues to extend their lead, Australia is almost on the verge of losing the first Test. "

Sri: "Pitch seems to have really flattened out - Bumrah is going to be the X factor to get a W for India. "

India 2nd Innings

72.1 Lyon to Jaiswal, FOUR runs

Horizontal-bat, bottom-hand slappage! Kohli played one of these off Lyon in 2012, Jaiswal does so it in 2024.
