Australia scored 123/4 in their second innings on Day 3 of the World Test Championship. They have a lead of 296 runs with 6 wickets in hand.
Earlier, Ajinkya Rahane (89) and Shardul Thakur (51) added 109 runs for the seventh wicket as India were bowled out for 296 in their first innings.
A rare incident took place towards the end of India’s innings, leading to boos from the fans towards the Aussie players.
During the 68th over, Mohammed Siraj, India’s no.11 was declared LBW by the on-field umpire. Australian players started leaving the field and headed to the dressing room.
However, Siraj reviewed the decision but the Aussie cricketers didn’t stop.
The reply showed the ball hitting Siraj’s bat first, prompting the umpire Chris Gaffaney to change his decision. It was then, when the fans started mocking the players for not stopping. They were forced to return back to the field.
Earlier, Australia scored 469 in their first innings.
