The third day of the second Test between India and Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground saw plenty of verbal duels between players of both teams. Shortly after play started, Tim Paine uttered a few words to Ravindra Jadeja, after India captain Ajinkya Rahane was run out for 112, whereas in the afternoon session, India wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant and Australia opener Matthew Wade kept having a go at each other. Are you 20 kilos, 25 or 30 kilos overweight?” Wade could be heard saying, which was caught on the stump mic. He was eventually out for 40, his wicket triggering a collapse for Australia which put India on the box seat. Australia ended the day on 133/6, effectively 2/6 as India look to force a result in the first session on Day 4.
