At 98-5, Test skipper Tim Paine and all-rounder Cameron Green formed a 104-run stand together to reduce the first-innings deficit between the two sides. Paine batted with intent and aggression as he counter-attacked the Indian bowlers on his way to 44. However, his innings was cut short as he tried to pull Umesh Yadav only to be caught at Prithvi Shaw.

Prithvi Shaw, who was stationed at backward square leg, completed a stunning one-handed catch to finally bring an end to the Paine-Green partnership. He leaped above and grabbed with his outstretched right arm to collect a travelling ball. With Paine’s dismissal, pacer Umesh Yadav further enhanced his fiery spell with his third wicket of the innings.

At the time of publishing, Australia A reached 285-8, i.e. 38 runs ahead of India’s total. Cameron Green was batting at 113 and he was joined by tail-ender Mark Steketee at the other end. Apart from Umesh Yadav, pacer Mohammad Siraj and veteran spinner R Ashwin were also among the wickets.
