India vs Australia 3rd Test Day 3 extended, timings changed to make up for lost overs on Day 1 

Day 1 of the India vs Australia was marred by incessant rain which stopped play for four hours. To make up for the loss of overs, the remaining three days of the Test match will kick off earlier. In a broadcasters' announcement, it was revealed that the Day of the 3rd Test will see 98 overs being bowled, as opposed to the usual 90, to make up for the lost time. The game will begin 45 minutes prior to the usual timing so that daylight doesn't affect the proceedings later in the day.

India vs Australia live streaming: Steve Smith ton leads Aussie charge, onus on Pujara, Rahane after Gill 50 

Steve Smith shrugged off concerns regarding his poor form, scoring a scintillating century on Day 2. The Australian stalwart scored his 27th century, his eighth vs India after Marnus Labuschagne scored a heroic 91. Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja struck at regular intervals to restrict Australia to 338. India got off to a blazing start, with Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill putting on a 70-run stand for the first wicket. Josh Hazlewood soon dismissed Rohit after the Hit-Man popped one straight back to the bowler, while Pat Cummins cleaned up Gill moments after he scored his maiden half-century. India ended the day on 96/2 with Cheteshwar Pujara (9*) and stand-in captain Ajinkya Rahane (5*) at the crease.
