IND VS AUS 3rd Test, Day 1 LIVE Score and Updates: Stumps

Finally, on the tour of India, Australia had a day when they were the superior team from start to finish. With the spinners wreaking havoc, combined with the poor shot selection from the Indian batters, India were bowled out for a meager 109. In response, Usman Khawaja scored a brilliant 60, while Marnus Labuschagne chipped in with 31, helping Australia take the lead. Australia now have a 47-run advantage, and if they can extend it to 100, it will be a huge boost for their chances of success.
