Ranchi March 18 (IANS) India rode on Cheteshwar Pujara and Murali Vijay s dogged display to post 193/2 at lunch on the third day of the third cricket Test here on Saturday.
Left-arm spinner Steve O Keefe gave the Aussies something to cheer about in the last ball of the first session taking the wicket of Vijay (82 off 183; 10x4 1x6) who played for spin but was stumped by wicketkeeper Mathew Wade.
The visitors though will be gutted to lose two reviews so early on in India s first innings the second one going down the drain this morning when O Keefe appealed for an LBW call off Pujara who remained unbeaten on 40 off 139 deliveries.
