Sydney Test: Australia leads by 197 runs against India with eight wickets in hand

Sydney, January 09
Australia has taken a first-innings lead of 94 runs and it would be an uphill task for India to make a comeback in this match. The hosts were all out for 338 in the first innings.

The four-match series is currently levelled at 1-1, and if India manages to win this Test, the side will retain the Border Gavaskar Trophy even if Australia goes on to win the last Test at Brisbane.

In Cricket, Australia has taken an overall lead of 197 runs over India in the third test at Sydney. Australia were 103 for two at stumps on the third day today.

Earlier India, which resumed its first innings from the overnight score of 96 for 2 were dismissed for 244. Patrick Cummins took four wickets and Josh Hazlewood scalped two and Cheteshwar Pujara scored one of the slowest half-centuries for India.
