AUSTRALIA. Sydney. Australia finished 166 for 2 on the first day of the third Test between India and Australia at Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) today. Interrupted by the rains and wet outfield, Australia is now in a commanding position for the first time in the Border-Gavaskar trophy. Two half-centuries, one by debutant Will Pucovski and the other by Marnus Labuschagne, were the main highlights of the opening day. Debutant Navdeep Saini and Mohamad Siraj took one wicket each. Australia won the toss and chose to bat first on a wicket that looked slow and low in bounce. Siraj made the first breakthrough when he removed David Warner. Trying to drive on the off-side, he nicked it, and Pujara held the catch at first slip. Warner is playing for the first time in this test-match series. Barely 7 overs were bold when the rain came. More than three hours were lost due to rain and wet outfield. Two drop catches When the game started, debutant Pucovski and Labuschagne began slowly but confidently. With no bite in the pitch, the duo added a hundred runs partnership. Pant gave Pucovski two lives when his score was 26 and 32. The first drop chance was straight one when Pant failed to take a slight knick off his bat. The second one was difficult as the wicketkeeper had to run backward and then to dive. Pucovski managed to score his first fifty on his test debut. Coincidently, another debutant Saini got his wicket when he trapped Pucoski lbw for 62. Smith on revamping With a score read 106 for 2, Steve Smith arrived at the crease. From ball one, he was looking confident. His straight drives to Saini and Siraj were classic. Labuschagne also drove and cut brilliantly. The two batsmen played freely in the last session. They have now an unfinished 60 runs partnership. Total 35 overs were lost in the day. Brief score:
