Australia v India LIVE: Perth Test day three

Australia v India LIVE: Perth Test day three

A close-ish shave for Jaiswal there, edging Hazlewood just in front of the slips! Seems as if the proximity to the century has generated a few nerves within him… the Aussies are testing him right now, on a pitch where the cracks are (apparently) starting to emerge.

Well, now… consider that test passed.

Jaiswal has just brought up his first century in Australia with an extraordinary six, lifting a bouncer over the slips – and over the rope.

Incredible. He pulls the helmet off and gives it the double fist pump.

What a way to score 100. His fourth in Test cricket.

Get used to this guy.

And yes, because of those runs, this is now India’s best-ever opening stand on Aussie soil.

India 0-197 (Jaiswal 101*, Rahul 74*) – India leads by 243 runs
