AUS - 12/3 in 4.2 overs.

Mohammed Siraj removes Pat Cummins with Virat Kohli taking an easy catch in the slip.

AUS - 9/2 im 3.1 overs.

Nathan McSweeney is OUT for a duck!! Jasprit Bumrah gets his sixth of the match. A breakthrough in the first over!! 

Australia's innings gets underway now!! 534 is a huge target now!! 

Virat Kohli you beauty!!! He has notched up an international century for the first time in more than a year. India have declared as well to set a target of 534 runs.

India's lead has gone past 500. They are 459/6. Virat is on 87.

India have pressed on the accelerator as Nitish Reddy smashed three boundaries in a row against Mitchell Marsh before Kohli hit a six off Nathan Lyon and a boundary off Marnus Labuschagne.

Nathan Lyon gets his man finally! Washington Sundar was going nowhere with his innings and something had to give as the left-hander was getting iffy and Lyon has cleaned him up to get his second wicket. India have lost their sixth wicket.

India are 403/5 and lead by 449 runs.

Virat Kohli coming off a poor New Zealand series and getting out cheaply in the first innings, has struck form in the first Test of the summer and would be aiming to go for big.

India are 405 runs ahead of Australia in the second innings at tea with Virat Kohli being set batting on 40 and Washington Sundar complimenting him outstandingly well. It's Tea and India are expected to declare in the final session giving Australia a few overs to play before the day's play ends.

Virat Kohli is looking in solid touch and Washington Sundar has begun well and the lead has gone past 400 for India. Even though India lost three wickets in quick succession, this has been a superb fightback yet again with Kohli at the helm.

Jurel bites the dust too as he adjudged plumb in front of the stumps. India are losing wickets in clumps. India are 321/5 and lead by 367 runs.

Rishabh Pant too goes now! India are stumbling a bit here as Rishabh Pant tried to hit Nathan Lyon out of the attack but missed the delivery completely and was stumped. Another wicket for Australia and India are 321/4.

Mitchell Marsh and Australia finally have their man. It was a soft dismissal in the end but maybe that was the only way he was to get out there. Jaiswal slashed a half-tracker from Mitchell Marsh straight to the point fielder and India have lost their third wicket.

The lead is beyond 350 now as India are in cruise mode in the ongoing Perth Test. Jaiswal has gone past 150 already and Virat Kohli has started well. 450 will definitely be on India's mind in terms of the lead in the second innings.

Josh Hazlewood dismisses Devdutt Padikkal immediately after lunch. India are 275/2.

It's time for lunch on day three. India are 275/1 and are 321 ahead. Yashasvi Jaiswal is still batting on 141.

Devdutt Padikkal after being dismissed for a duck in the first innings, has slowly grown into his hit the second time around in Perth. Jaiswal is still doing the heavy lifting but India are slowly chipping away and the two left-handers have brought up a 50-run stand and Australia have taken the new ball.

Trent Copeland for Channel 7 suggested that there are a couple of cracks widening but the sun has baked the pitch a lot and hence the change in the colour of the grass. The pitch has settled in and might be another good day for the batters but the longer India keep Australia in the field, the bodies will tire out and the cracks will keep getting wider, making the fourth innings target look more than it actually will be.

Devdutt Padikkal has walked in at No 3 and has gotten off a pair and India's lead is up to 250 now. This has been a marvellous batting performance for India in the ongoing Test and would want to stretch the target to at least 400.

Mitchell Starc has induced an edge finally for Australia as KL Rahul gets caught behind by Alex Carey and India have lost their opener. The 201-run partnership has finally come to an end and Australia would love a couple more in the opening session. 

India - 201/1 (63 overs)

Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul have broken a 38-year-old of the highest opening partnership for India in Tests in Australia. Jaiswal and Rahul completed a 200-run opening partnership, and became the first pair to do so breaking Sunil Gavaskar and Kris Srikkanth's record of 191-run stand, which was the previous best for India.

It couldn't have been a more bizarre shot to complete your maiden Test hundred in Australia and Yashasvi Jaiswal got there with an upper-cut towards fine leg that landed straight on the boundary cushions and it was a six for a century. Jaiswal is elated and is soaking in what has been a golden moment in his career. His third century this year and fourth in the ongoing WTC cycle and has ensured that India can't lose this.

Being out of the team, KL Rahul got an opportunity at the top of the order in Rohit Sharma's absence. Rahul looked the most solid Indian batter in the first innings and just continued in the second innings from where he left off in the first. Rahul too completed a gritty half-century and with both Indian openers set, these are ominous signs for Australia.

Yashasvi Jaiswal is nearing his third Test century this year and fourth in the current World Test Championship (WTC) cycle. After being dismissed for a duck in the first innings, Jaiswal made the Australian bowlers work hard by playing late, closer to his body and with softer hands to make sure that he wasn't playing into their hands at any point of the game on the second day.

17 wickets fell on the opening day while just three batters got out on the second, all from Australia, as the pitch changed its colours literally and almost felt like it flattened out. The sun was beating down and practically nothing was happening off the surface for the bowlers and KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal both utilised the conditions and made sure India had the upper hand by the end of the second day's play while going wicketless into the third day.

Yashasvi Jaiswal continued his good form after getting dismissed cheaply in the first innings and KL Rahul reiterated that he is made for batting in the top order in SENA countries as India took firm control of the opening Test match in Perth. Welcome to our live coverage of the third day's play from Perth as India look to bat Australia out while the hosts aim for multiple wickets in the morning session.
