India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 3 Highlights: The show is over on Day 3 as India find themselves on backfoot in the ongoing Test against Australia in Brisbane. While rain must have generated mixed reactions, at least for Indian fans, the action on the field completely belonged to the hosts. After posting a gigantic 445 on the board in first innings, the Australian pace battery led by Mitchell Starc didn't take long to make quick injections. He was soon joined by teammate Josh Hazlewood as despite the several rain interruptions India find themselves reeling at 55/4, trailing by 394 runs at Stumps. KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma are batting in the middle, with the former adding 33 out of the total runs India scored. Rohit, on the other hand, is yet to open his account and fans will hope the duo stitch a perfect rescue act when action resumes on Tuesday. India's top-order comprising Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and Virat Kohli was packed for single-digit scores by Starc and Hazlewood. Things got more difficult as Pat Cummins joined the party and dismissed Rishabh Pant for 9. Earlier, Australia didn't waste much time and looked for boundaries from the word go. The pair of Starc and Alex Carey combined to hit two fours and a six after resuming proceedings from the overnight score of 405/7. Carey in the process also went to complete his half-century but Starc was dismissed for 18 by Jasprit Bumrah, which took his wicket tally to six in the innings. Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep then scalped a wicket each as Australia's first innings was folded at 445. Carey was the final batter to be dismissed for 70.

India vs New Zealand 1st Test, Day 3 Highlights: The last thing India would have wanted was Virat Kohli getting out on the final delivery of Day 3 in the ongoing Test against New Zealand at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Kohli and Sarfaraz Khan were going strong in the middle and had added 136 runs for the third wicket before Glenn Phillips provided New Zealand with a much needed breakthrough. Phillips removed Kohli for 70 as India finished the day at 231/3, still trailing by 125 runs. Sarfaraz is present in the middle and is batting at 70. He will lead India's fight on Day 4. Earlier, Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal gave India a decent start in the second innings after New Zealand piled a massive 402 on the board, taking a lead of 356 runs. The pair added a 50-plus stand but India lost both openers post Tea. Ajaz Patel injected both blows as Yashasvi was stumped for 35, while Rohit got out at 52. Kohli and Sarfaraz then shouldered the responsibility and completed their respective half-centuries. Meanwhile, Rachin Ravindra scored a sensational ton to put New Zealand in the driver seat. Ravindra was the last Kiwi batter to be dismissed for 134(157). He stitched a century-plus stand with Tim Southee for the 8th wicket, taking the match away from India's grip. This was Ravindra's second Test ton. Mohammed Siraj ended Southee's stay in the middle for 65. India had resumed Day 3 on a strong note with Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah striking early. Siraj removed Daryl Mitchell for 18, who was caught by Yashasvi Jaiswal at gully. Bumrah then got rid of Tom Blundell. Ravindra Jadeja then made two inroads. The pair of Ravindra and Mitchell had started the day from the overnight score of 180/3, when the lead was 134 runs. Day 2 had witnessed an epic collapse as India were skittled for 46, which is the country's third lowest total in Tests. Five Indian batters (Virat Kohli, Sarfaraz Khan, KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, and R Ashwin) got out for ducks. The opening day of the match was washed out entirely due to rain.
