Australia hold the advantage at the end of the third day of the Test at Optus Stadium, leading India by 175 runs with six wickets still in hand.
Scores at end of day
Australia 326 and 4/132
India 283
The Perth Test chugs along to what could be the moving day of the game as both Australia and India look to continue their sparring on day three of the second Test. Play will begin at 1:20pm AEDT and you can follow it live with The Roar below.
It’s been a hard-to-predict two days of cricket and much of it is thanks to the unpredictable nature of the Optus Stadium surface.
In the first session of day one, signs of a high-scoring first innings looked written large over the pitch only for it to turn into a nastier version of its own self in the next two sessions.
After having got away to a flier, at least in comparison with what had happened in Adelaide, batsmen began to get beaten regularly and by the time it was stumps, Australia had reached 6/277.
It looked easy enough in the first hour of play following that on day two, more so because of India’s obvious struggles against the lower-order but once Pat Cummins fell, the remaining three didn’t last all that too long.
It was a big tick to the Indian bowlers but again, an indicator of a pitch that is ever so glad to jump up to the rescue of the bowlers.
And when the Indian openers provided their nth exhibit in an overseas series this year of why Team India need to look beyond them in times to come, Australia looked like their score of 326 had been an over-par score.
It took Cheteshwar Pujara’s third successive 100+ delivery blunting effort and Virat Kohli’s first half-century of the tour to bring India back into it.
The scoring wasn’t the quickest, not once Kohli had settled down and was happy to see out the balls outside the off, and India trundled to 82 from nearly 39 overs.
On a pitch where the ball was coming on to the bat well, despite the excessive bounce and pace, that was slow going but understandable given the early loss.
The trouble with such situations, however, is a loss of wicket at that stage, without a lot of runs made ends up amounting to not a lot.
Fortunately for India, the wicket of Pujara brought an unusually aggressive Ajinkya Rahane to the crease.
Rahane, himself under a cloud coming into this series but with some runs under his belt at Adelaide, fought fire with fire, going after the barrage of a watered-down version of Bodyline bowling.
At the other end, Kohli paced his innings beautifully, happy to get beaten on occasions outside the off while keeping his nicks down.
By the time the day had ended, India’s 3/172 would have pleased them but a lot of work still remains for the tourists.
Because on a surface where a wicket could easily bring another couple and with chasing expected to get really tough, India will need a big score on the board.
Their first target will be to get at least get as close to the Australian score but they will know how poorly their bottom four has batted in overseas Tests in recent times.
All the work will need to be done by the two at the crease and the two greenhorns to follow, one of whom is playing just his second Test.
Prediction
India to end the first innings almost level with Australia to make this a second innings Test
