The Indian cricket team endured their hardest day of the ongoing Border Gavaskar Trophy after Australia showed immense resilience to take control of the third Test in Indore. Despite losing
the toss, the tourists produced a commanding performance with the ball as they skittled India for a mere 109 inside 34 overs thanks to a maiden five-wicket haul from Matthew Kuhnemann. Then
the pair of Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne produced a strong display with the former hitting a well-compiled fifty to put Australia in the lead. The Indian bowlers had to toil hard
with all four Australian wickets that fell on Wednesday going in Ravindra Jadeja’s name. India will hope for a much better second day while Australia would want to build on their opening
day’s performance. In South Africa, West Indies landed quick blows after conceding 130-run lead in the first Test in Centurion. In their reply to South Africa’s first innings total of
342-all out, West Indies folded for 212. However, Alzarri Joseph struck twice as the hosts lost four wickets for just 49 runs in 8.1 overs before stumps on Day 2. In Bangladesh, England have
taken a 1-0 lead in the the three-match ODI series. An unbeaten century from Dawid Malan helped England overhaul the target of 210 at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. Batting
first, the hosts were restricted to 209-all out in 47.2 overs. Najmul Shanto top-scored for Bangladesh with 58 off 82. For England, Jofra Archer, Mark Wood, Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid picked
up two wickets each while Chris Woakes and Will Jacks chipped in with a wicket each. England were reduced to 167/7 in their chase but Malan continued to wage a lone battle and in the company
of Adil Rashid (17 not out) guided his team over the line in 48.4 overs. The second match of the series will be played on Friday at the same venue. Get the latest CRICKET NEWS here
