Beginning day three on a promising 61-1, Australia added 52 runs before the spin duo engineered a spectacular collapse as India look primed for a 2-0 lead in the four-test series.Asked to open in place of a concussed David Warner, Travis Head scored at a run-a-ball rate on Saturday and it seemed a continuation of that approach when he drove the third ball of the day from Ashwin for a boundary.
Ashwin removed Steve Smith and Jadeja sent back Marnus Labuschagne and the wheels came off Australia’s innings with nine of their 11 batsmen managing single digit scores.
