Coming into day three, India had a lead of 144 runs in the first innings with three wickets in hand. Ravindra Jadeja (70) was the first one to go in the morning session without adding much to his overnight score of 66 as he misjudged an in-angler from Todd Murphy and left it alone to hit his off-stump in the fifth over of the day.
Axar Patel continued to bat well and scored 84 runs off 174 deliveries and was the last man to go as he was outfoxed by a slow off-cutter from Pat Cummins at the brink of the break. Before that, Mohammed Shami (37 off 47) showed his batting prowess, attacking the spinners with huge hits. He added 52 runs for the ninth wicket alongside Axar Patel.
Meanwhile, Shami surpassed Kohli in an unique record. The express pacer now has more sixes than Kohli in the Test arena. Shami has more sixes in Test Cricket than Yuvraj Singh (22), Ravi Shastri (22), while his third six also took him past Virat Kohli, who has hit 24 sixes in Test matches. Virat, who is more equipped to play along the ground when it comes to Test matches, has scored 8131 runs for India in Tests, but only 1.77% of those runs have come from sixes.
