India is well within the distance of leveling the four-match Test series after reducing Australia to 133 for 6 at stumps on the third day of the second Test here on Monday. Ajinkya Rahane's 112 and Ravindra Jadeja's 57 took India to a decent first innings score of 326 and a handy 131 run lead. The visitors now look to wrap up the proceedings on the fourth day as Australia has a slender lead of two runs with only four wickets in hand.
For India, Jasprit Bumrah bowled brilliantly to end the day with 1/34 while Ravindra Jadeja got 2/25. Ravichandran Ashwin and Mohammed Siraj also got a wicket apiece. The only worry for India is Umesh Yadav's (1/5 in 3.3 overs) calf muscle injury after removing opener Joe Burns with a peach of a delivery.
