Australia started the day well by bundling out the Indians for 244.
In reply, Wade and burns was stubbory defensive and after a couple of drop catches, bumrah drew first blood for India by getting Wade out LBW and immediately followed it up with another wicket by dismissing the other opener too before dinner break. After the dinner break, it was all India throughout the day aa they kept picking up wickets at regular intervals, ashwin being the top troubler for the Aussies as he picked up another fourfer down under. Umesh yadav took three wickets and Bumrah took a couple of wickets and to make matters worse, there was also a run out when starc took on Shaw at the boundary but ended up being run out by a wonderful collection behind the stumps from saha. Australia was all out for 191 with Tim Paine top scoring with an unbeaten 73 off 99 balls. It was a true captain's knock from the Aussie skipper.
In their second innings
India had to negotiate 6 nervous overs before stumps which they did decently enough by just giving away one wicket. Shaw's defense was once again breached and this time it was cummins who got the inside edge of Shaw's bat and hit timber. To everyone's amusement, Bumrah the night watchman came to negotiate the last couple of overs which he did Admirably. India ended the day well and truly on top at 9/1 leading Australia by 62 runs.
