Sun Dec 08 02:49:59 UTC 2024: ## India Faces Mounting Pressure on Day 3 of Adelaide Test
**Adelaide, Australia –** India faces a monumental task on day three of the second Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test against Australia at the Adelaide Oval. After Australia amassed 337 in their first innings, leaving India with a 157-run deficit, India’s second innings ended day two at a precarious 128 for five, trailing by 29 runs.
The Australian bowlers, employing a fuller length and targeting the fourth stump, dominated the early stages of the Indian innings. Key wickets fell throughout the day, including that of Rishabh Pant (28 runs) caught by Smith off Starc and Ravichandran Ashwin (7 runs) caught by Carey off Cummins. The lower order, including Harshit Rana, now faces the challenge of rescuing India from a perilous position.
Nitish Kumar Reddy showed some resilience, contributing valuable runs, but the pressure remains firmly on the Indian side to post a respectable total for Australia to chase. The match is being broadcast live on Star Sports network and streamed on Hotstar.
