Dharamsala Test

Aussies crumble as India eyes off series triumph in Dharamsala

India reached stumps on day three on 19 without loss and needing 87 more runs for the victory, having been set a paltry target of 106 when it dismissed Australia for just 137 in its second innings.

Openers KL Rahul (13 not out) and Murali Vijay (6 not out) saw out six overs before the close of play, as Australia failed to get the vital breakthrough wicket it craved.

Australia had come out of the lunch break on day three just 32 runs behind India, who had been dismissed for 332 in its first innings during the morning session.
