Snapshot for day 3 of the first Test

A snapshot of day three of the first cricket Test between Australia and India in Pune.

AUSTRALIA V INDIA, 1ST TEST AT A GLANCE

STATE OF PLAY - Australia won by 333 runs, setting India a target of 441 then bowling them out for 107 on day three. Australia lead 1-0 in the four-Test series.

MAN OF DAY - Steve O'Keefe. Backed up his stunning six-wicket haul on day two with another half-a-dozen scalps, including that of Virat Kohli.

KEY STAT - O'Keefe's match haul of 12-70 is the best by an Australian bowler in India and the best by a visiting spinner in India.

KEY MOMENT - Kohli shouldered arms to a delivery from O'Keefe that didn't turn, instead hitting the middle of off stump. India were 3-47 and Australia never looked back.

BEST QUOTE - "They prepared a wicket that actually played into our hands. It'll be interesting to see what they come up with in Bangalore," STEVE SMITH delights in the dry deck in Pune, having posted a century then led Australia to their first Test win in India since 2004.
