Day three in the second Test against Australia got off to a dismal start for India with Ajinkya Rahane (51) falling to off-spinner Nathan Lyon in the very first over.

Skipper Virat Kohli, however, continues to go strongly for the visitors and has notched up a 25th Test ton and a first of the series with a glorious drive off Mitchell Starc. Hanuma Vihari fell for 20 before Pat Cummins dismissed Kohli for a well-made 123.

Lyon completed a five-wicket haul as India were eventually bowled out for 283 in their first innings. In the second innings, Australia saw opener Aaron Finch retire hurt before his partner Marcus Harris was dismissed by Jasprit Bumrah. Post tea, the hosts lost Shaun Marsh and Peter Handscomb as they attempted to push their advantage.

Travis Head fell cheaply to Mohammed Shami but the hosts did well to reach 132-4 at stumps on day three with their overall second innings lead now 175.

Earlier on day two at Perth, Australia had been bowled out for 326 runs in their first innings before India reached 172-3 at stumps. India currently lead the four-match Test series 1-0 after their 31-run win in the Adelaide Oval.
