Travis Head’s dismissal in the first over of day three began with BCCI slipping
R Ashwin began the meltdown on the third morning before Ravindra Jadeja raced to a career-best 7 for 42 as Australia lost six batsmen via the sweep and reverse sweep in Delhi. So the gates fell.
12.6 edged, caught in the back! Ashwin strikes early. Nice delivery. Reaches around the stump, bringing the head forward, shaving the outside edge into the keeper’s gloves | 65 for 2
18.6 great attractiveness and lbw given! This is looking good for Ashwin. Smith misses his sweep and calls review. Only Impact can save him. Well, a lot has turned around. Maybe leg down? Certainly beaten in line. Referee call on leg stump! | 85 for 3
21.4 has him! big moment. This slips deep on the stumps, because in the first test Labuschagne is caught playing back and has little chance of keeping it out. Takes the toe | 95 for 4
22.6 Another sweep and another lbw! Another conversation between the Batters and Renshaw reviews. Looked good live. Hits low on the front pad. Bat not involved. Made a good move… but it smashes the middle halfway up | 95 for 5
23.1 and another one works! That works fast. Nice bowling. Full in the middle, takes the edge and gets nibbled on hatch. Very nice ball | 95 for 6
23.2 Jadeja strikes immediately after the drinks break. Slipping in completely from the left arm around, as opposed to turning away. Low bounce again. Cummins is still aiming for a big swing but misses the ball altogether. It crashes deep into the tree stumps. Australia are seven down, sinking in Delhi | 95 for 7
27.1 Carey continues to trust his sweeps and reverses. These are his favorite recordings, but that reversal doesn’t materialize. Jadeja makes it hop over the bat and ping the leg stump. Pushed through faster, no real turn, Carey doesn’t touch the ball. The leg stump is knocked out. Jadeja and celebrate India. Five-wicket haul for Jadeja | 110 for 8
29.5 Sixth wicket for Jadeja. Lyon sinks to his knees. Wide on the crease, on a length and angling out, Lyon swings so hard that he loses his shape and pulls him back onto his own stumps | 113 for 9
31.1 Jadeja ends Australia with a seven-wicket move. He holds the ball up and leads India off the field. No. 11 Kuhnemann aims for the reverse sweep, dares to take it out of the stumps, but doesn’t get enough batons on the ball. He can only put it down to his own stumps | 113 for 10
