Virat Kohli walked off with a whimper as the Aussies flexed.🔥🏏 9WWOS
India’s openers were gone by tea. Captain Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill were dismissed in the space of five balls.
Resuming after tea at 2/37, Cheteshwar Pujara did a Gill, leaving alone a full-length delivery by Cameron Green which hit his off stump. Pujara scored 14. Jadeja's rollicking innings ended on 48 from 51 balls 21 minutes before stumps when spinner Nathan Lyon's ninth delivery found turn and bounce, touched left-handed Jadeja and slid into Smith's hands.“We are in a really good spot,” Boland said. “The pitch is going a little bit up and down so it should be harder for the India batters tomorrow. A couple of balls were taking off, even when we were batting this morning, while a few have been keeping low as well. So it's nice.
Smith surprised. India couldn't touch him and Smith did it for them when he chopped on against Shardul Thakur. Smith had 121 runs from 268 balls with 19 boundaries. He didn't walk off satisfied.“This morning I couldn't ask for anything more than two half-volleys on my pad to get me going,” Smith said. “I was proud of the way I played. I thought I applied myself nicely. Hit the balls in my area and pretty solid in defense.
