IND vs AUS Live 3rd Test Day 2: Pujara, Rahane cautious after Gill exit for 50 India (IND) vs Australia (AUS) Live Score 3rd Test Day 2: Australia will look to keep up with the good work of the first day and press for a big first innings total against the inexperienced Indian bowling lineup. Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith are both due for runs and will look to capitalise on the solid foundation laid by Will Pucovski. Ajinkya Rahane meanwhile, should look to pressure on the opposition early in the first session. Any which ways an interesting day of Test cricket awaits if the weather gods don t play spoilsport in Sydney.

And that brings us to the end of our coverage of the opening day of the third Test between Australia and India at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The Aussies seemed to have turned to a new leaf in the new year, with the top-order finally firing for a change. While Warner departing early was a disappointment given the hype surrounding his return, Pucovski shining with a fifty on debut followed by a solid, unbroken partnership between Labuschagne and Smith have ensured Australia are well set for a big first innings total after opting to bat before turning to their bowlers to carve out a decent lead.
I am told T Natarajan is in Australia as part of the Indian set up. The left-arm pacer was impressive in T20 series and might add some variety to the attack
