#5. All-round efforts keep Australia in the driving seat ahead of Day 4

Australia have their noses ahead at Stumps on Day 3

Some disciplined bowling by Cummins, Hazlewood, Starc and Lyon gave the hosts a lead of 43 runs. In their second essay with the bat, the likes of Marcus Harris (20), Aaron Finch (25 retd. hurt), Usman Khawaja (41*) helped them post 132/4 at the end of the day's play.

The lead has swelled to 175 as of now. Another 100-120 runs on board could be a safe bet for the Aussies to go out and field in the fourth inning with a lot of confidence.

It is still early to speak of the game result, but seeing the action that unfurled today, Tim Paine's side is definitely ahead in the game.
