MELBOURNE :Australia's pacemen rattled through India's top order on a rain-hit day three of the third test in Brisbane on Monday but the recurring wet weather put the brakes on the hosts' charge.
Australian cricket team batter Travis Head continued his stunning run of form as he slammed a brilliant hundred on Day 2 of the third Test match against India in Brisbane on Sunday. During his sensational 152-run knock, he hardly gave any chances to the Indian bowlers and even star pacer Jasprit Bumrah struggled to bother him. During the innings, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja were heard creating a strategy to dismiss the in-form opener. In a video going viral on social media, Kohli was seen asking Jadeja to bowl a bit faster and Pant agreed with the suggestion given by the star batter.
Ravi Shastri was left concerned by the inconsistency of India's bowling attack on Day 2 of the third Test match against Australia in Brisbane on Sunday. Apart from Jasprit Bumrah who took five wickets, all India bowlers struggled on a day when Travis Head and Steve Smith ran riot. Australia were 405 for the loss of seven wickets and the former Indian cricket team head coach were left concerned with how badly some of the India bowlers performed. Shastri pointed out that consistency is extremely important for the Indian bowlers when it comes to playing in Australia and added that only Bumrah has "done things right".
India captain Rohit Sharma has come under the scanner for his captaincy on Day 2 of the ongoing 3rd Test against Australia in Brisbane on Sunday. Jasprit Bumrah and Nitish Kumar Reddy gave India a bright start, reducing Australia to 3/75 early in the morning session. However, centuries from Travis Head (152) and Steve Smith (101) saw Australia end the day at a commanding 405/7. Head was the wrecker-in-chief for Australia, scoring at almost run-a-ball during the 241-run stand with Smith.
India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 3 Live Updates: Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja are India's surprise pair to start the bowling attack on Day 3.

India pacer Akash Deep may not have entered the wickets column on the second day of third Test here but his ability to make the ball talk earned him high praise from Australian batting mainstay Steve Smith. Smith scored his 33rd Test hundred on Sunday and added 241 runs for the fourth wicket with with Travis Head (152) to put Australia in a strong position, having seen off testing spells from the peerless Jasprit Bumrah (5/72) as well as struggles against Akash Deep.
One of the highlights of Day 2 of the third Test between India and Australia was the 'bail-switching' moment between India pacer Mohammed Siraj and Australia batter Marnus Labuschagne. In an act of superstition, Siraj walked over to Labuschagne's stumps and switched the position of the bails. As Siraj turned back, Labuschagne himself switched the bails back to the original position. It didn't work out for him, as he got dismissed moments later off the bowling of Nitish Reddy. Legendary Australia batter Matthew Hayden slammed Labuschagne for getting distracted.
Former England women's cricket team star Isa Guha found herself in the middle of a massive controversy after making a racially insensitive remark about Jasprit Bumrah on commentary during Day 2 of the third Test encounter against Australia on Sunday. Following the dismissals of Nathan McSweeney and Usman Khawaja, legendary Australia pacer Brett Lee was left impressed by Bumrah's bowling and he went on to share his thoughts. "Bumrah, today: five overs, 2-4. So, that's the tone, and that's what you want from the ex-skipper," Lee said on FOX Cricket. In response, Guha referred to Bumrah as the "Most Valuable Primate" - a comment that sparked a massive row and earned her a lot of criticism from the fans.
