Day 3 of the Test Match was hardly fought by both the teams and eventually India ended up claiming the upper hand. Australia started the day at 189 for 2. Dhoni adopted the negative tactics to start with and had an 8-1 field for both Hussey and Katich. Runs were hard to come by but Katich however managed to score his century. Katich was finally dismissed soon after his century of the bowling of Zaheer Khan leaving Australia at 229 for 3. Australia went to lunch at 231 for 3 adding just 42 runs in the session with the loss of 1 wicket.
After lunch both Hussey and CLarke were playing cautiously before Clarke was dismissed to a beauty by Ishant. Aussies moved from 265 for 4 to 266 for 6. Hussey was undone by a sharp bit of work from debutant Vijay at short leg while Watson dragged one on to the stumps of the bowling of Harbhajan. However Haddin and White got together a 50 run partnership and took the score past the 300 mark. Haddin fell to Mishra when the score was 318. Krejza gave some support to White who was playing well on the other end. Krejza's long resistance came to an end when Sharma got him leg before. White was dismissed for 46 and soon Johnson too followed. Autsralians were all out for a score of 355.
India came out to bat with just one over remaining in the day. It was a maiden from Johnson and India went to stumps at 0 for no loss with 86 runs ahead.
