“Australia vs India: Day Three Highlights from the First Men’s Test at Optus Stadium”

**Australia vs India: First Men's Test, Day Three – Live Updates** The first Test match between Australia and India continues at Optus Stadium, with play set to begin in Perth at 10:20 AM local time (1:20 PM AEDT). **61st Over: India 191-0 (Jaiswal 95, Rahul 74)** India has made a strong start, scoring 17 runs in the first three overs of the day. Australia will be hoping for a turnaround from Mitchell Starc, who had a tough previous over, bringing his figures to 54 runs without a wicket from 13 overs. He concedes a single on the fourth ball as Rahul takes an easy run. A leg bye on the fifth ball means this opening partnership has now matched the record for the highest opening stand for India against Australia. **60th Over: India 189-0 (Jaiswal 95, Rahul 73)** Josh Hazlewood is now on to bowl. A maiden over would be crucial for Australia at this point, as they look to halt India's momentum and prevent them from building a substantial lead. Hazlewood manages to bowl four dot balls, with a diving save from McSweeney at third man helping to keep the runs down. However, Rahul breaks the streak with a cover drive for three runs on the last ball, ending the over. Stay tuned for more updates as the match progresses!
