Watch: Smith grabs stunner to remove Pujara
Stand-in Australia skipper Steve Smith's one-handed blinder at leg slip to dismiss a well-set Cheteshwar Pujara was perhaps the defining moment of the second day, the dismissal playing a key role in ensuring India were bowled out for less than 200.

Murali Karthik and Ajit Agarkar analyse the Indore surface:
MK: This Test match has moved at a remarkable pace. Anything can happen is what I believe. They have got three of the finest when it comes to conditions like these. When they get on a roll, you never know.
AA: Very, very rough. It is going to be hard work for the batter.

Credit the pitch as much you want but it was a lion hearted show by Nathan Lyon in the second Indian innings of the third Test in Indore. He did all the dirty work in the first innings too, scalped three and allowed Matthew Kuhnemman to reap rewards from the other end for his maiden fifer. The second innings, however, saw Lyon in the leading role as he put on a masterclass.
Sahil Malhotra writes on Nathan Lyon's 8/64 that ensured India barely managed to cross 150 in their second innings and left a sub-100 target for his side.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Day 3 of the third Test between India and Australia at the Holkar Stadium in Indore, with Australia needing to chase down just 76 runs to collect their first win of the four-Test series.
Australia will hope to make short work of a modest target and collect their first win of the ongoing tour when they face India on Day 3 of the third Test in Indore.
On a topsy-turvy second day that witnessed the fall of 16 wickets, Australia suffered a batting collapse after resuming from their overnight score of 156/4, getting bowled out for 197 after losing their last six wickets for just 11 runs.
The Indian batters were expected to come up with a stronger response after getting bundled out for 109 in their first innings. Barring a defiant 59 from Cheteshwar Pujara and an entertaining cameo from Shreyas Iyer (26) however, none of the batters could pose much of a challenge to the Aussie bowling unit.
While Matthew Kuhnemann was India’s destroyer-in-chief in the first innings with his maiden Test five-for, it was veteran off-spinner Nathan Lyon who took over that role on Thursday with his haul of 8/64 — his second Test eight-for in India.
Despite the trickiness of the Indore surface, with the pitch likely to receive a poor rating from the ICC given how it has behaved from the very first delivery, Australia are expected to chase the 76-run target down and keep their hopes of sharing the honours in the four-Test series alive.
