Usman Khawaja pulls off a stunning catch, diving to his left to dismiss dangerous Shreyas Iyer in the ongoing 3rd Test against India. Coming to the clash, Team India's skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bat.

Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill opened the innings for India as Australia missed a first-ball review of the Indian skipper off Mitchell Starc. Rohit Sharma had to walk back after getting dismissed by Matthew Kuhnemann for 12 runs.

Following his dismissal, Shubman Gill also returned to the dressing room scoring 21 runs. In the very next over, Cheteshwar Pujara has been sent off by Nathan Lyon by cleaning his stumps.

After that, Nathan Lyon and Matthew Kuhnemann continued their domination by sending back both Ravindra Jadeja and Shreyas Iyer in back-to-back overs. Virat Kohli played some decent shots in the middle and scored runs before being dismissed by Todd Murphy.

Srikar Bharat and Axar Patel haven't been much impressive in the lower order as they managed to score only 17 and 12 runs only. In the end, Umesh Yadav smashed some gigantic sixes and helped India to reach a total of 109 runs.

With only 109 runs in front, Travis Head and Usman Khawaja opened the innings for Australia. Ravindra Jadeja provided the first breakthrough for India by sending back Travis Head for just 9 runs.
