Day 3 started with Ajinkya Rahane in the strike and Bolland with the ball in his hands. Rahane flicks the first ball for a single and KS Bharat went back to the pavilion with the very first ball he faced of the day. Australian fielding looked a bit rusty as they dropped Shardul Thakur twice in the slip.
