Jaiswal hits century; India swell lead

November 24, 2024 08:19

Ind 197-0 (62 ovs) & 150 vs Aus 104 | Scorecard

Hazlewood gifts India another run as he oversteps for the no-ball. Rahul looking in superb touch as he plays another beautiful front foot cover drive for three runs.

India have been in the lookout for runs, with 17 coming from the first three overs on Day 3, to take their score to 189/0 in 60 overs.

Rahul having no problems in dealing with Australia's off-side line, every time the pacers pitch further up he has driven them for runs.

He pushes Starc's back of length delivery on the off-side for a single and Jaiswal misses out on a half-volley on his pads as he is hit on the pads to collect a leg bye.

In the next over, Jaiswal gets the edge off Hazlewood but it goes on the bounce to the slips.

Jaiswal hits Hazlewood for a six to complete his first Test century in Australia, from 205 balls. The 22-year-old looks to ramp the pacer over the off-side but the ball miscues over fine leg and it carries all the way for a six!

Jaiswal has his hands up in celebration as he makes up for his duck in the first innings, and continues to make his mark in Test cricket.

He is the first Indian opener to score a century in Australia after his current opener K L Rahul scored a hundred in the Sydney Test in 2014-15.
