08:41This has been an old fashioned attritional Test match with runs at a premium and long passages of tense cricket laden with significance. At the end of day three India’s ability to occupy the crease sees them in the ascendancy. Australia started the day with hopes of a first-innings lead but despite some handy work by the tail they fell 15 runs short. The touring top four all faced at least 50 deliveries, grinding their way through an attritional afternoon and evening at Adelaide Oval. Nathan Lyon in particular put on a masterclass of off-spin bowling but only celebrated the late dismissal of Virat Kohli.
