New Delhi: Wriddhiman Saha stitched a 96-run partnership with Ravindra Jadeja to give India a 32-run first innings lead after the hosts were bundled out for 332 runs, chasing Australia's total of 300 runs.
Saha was dismissed for 31 after Pat Cummins delivered an unplayable bouncer which went into the hands of Steve Smith, who improvised late-on to take a brilliant one-handed catch. (Dharamsala Test - Live Blog | Full Coverage)
Here's the video of Smith taking an absolute screamer:-
Steve Smith is insane. Incredible instincts to make this one-handed catch. Watch replays. #AUSvIND #IndvAus #INDvsAUS #Australia #cricket pic.twitter.com/fEqa42z9lV

For Australia, Nathan Lyon (5/98) had a five-wicket haul. Saha, on his part again showed steely temperament despite another testing morning spell by Patrick Cummins (3/94) and Josh Hazlewood (1/51).
Jadeja was adjudged caught behind off the very first ball of the third morning bowled by Cummins but he promptly used DRS to get a favourable decision after the TV replays confirmed that there was no edge.
