India vs Australia Live Score, 3rd Test, Day 3 Score updates in real-time: The onus is now on the Indian bowlers to save face as the visitors find themselves in a strong position to end the Indore Test on Friday after veteran Australian spinner Nathan Lyon gave Team India a taste of their own spin medicine the previous day.

Lyon scored an incredible eight for 64, giving the visitors the upper hand in the third test at Indore. Can Australia win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the first time in Indore?

India vs Australia Live Score: “Positive approach”
“We’ll approach the situation positively. Due to the unpredictable nature of the game of cricket and the way that the wicket is currently playing, few runs can be scored on this surface. We’ll bowl precisely and deplete the runs. There are no easy runs on this pitch; it is not a shot-making pitch. We will therefore bowl well and monitor the outcome.” After Day 2, Umesh Yadav spoke at a press conference.
Live score between India and Australia: lowest target defended in a test
Australia successfully defended 85, the lowest target ever set in a Test match, back in 1882. In a one-off Test at The Oval, the Australians accomplished the feat by packing England for 77 runs.

Australia vs India Live Score: What has occurred thus far
Day 1: Rohit Sharma chose to bat first after winning the toss for the opening of the Test match. The strategy, however, backfired as Matt Kuhnemann finished with his first five-wicket haul as India were bowled out for 109 in their opening innings.
Then, Usman Khawaja scored 60 runs to lead Australia to a total of 156/4 at Stumps, giving the visitors a 47-run advantage.
Day 2: Cameron Green and Peter Handscomb continued their cautious approach on day two and added 30 runs to the overnight total of 156/4 in the opening hour. However, Ashwin struck first when he removed Handscomb, and Umesh Yadav’s outstanding performance led to Australia being bowled out for 197 in their opening innings as they took a commanding 88-run lead.
The next day, Cheteshwar Pujara scored a solid 59 runs to help India reach a respectable 163.

On Day 2 of the low-scoring Test match at Indore, pacer Umesh Yadav became the fifth Indian pacer to reach 100 wickets at home, while veteran Australian spinner Nathan Lyon passed Muttiah Muralitharan to become the second-highest wicket-taker against India in the backyard of the Asian giants. India has set Australia a 76-run target to win the Indore Test after Cheteshwar Pujara’s brilliant half-century. Can India change the course of history by keeping an Australian legend from the Holkar Cricket Stadium on Day 3?
