Day 3 of the MCG Test was probably the most eventful day as India secured a massive lead with Australia's horror batting collapse. There were so many moments in the game that it's impossible to notice every single thing. We are sure you've missed a lot of them but don't worry, we've got you covered.

63 Not out forever!

What a wonderful gesture by the Aussies! The Australian team was wearing an armband to pay tribute to Phil Huges.

This is how the MCG pitch looked like before the start of Day 3. What happened in today's game must have changed people's opinion of the pitch.

Pant decided to help Kohli

He asked Virat Kohli to send one fielder close and told him Jadeja had to target one area against Tim Paine, and for the reason why he shouldn’t tinker the field. Kohli understood the logic behind it and nodded his head in approval, before allowing the fielder to get closer.

A moment of genius from Bumrah!

The time difference between Shaun Marsh playing the shot and Jasprit Bumrah's slower one arriving = the time difference between your ⏰ going off and you waking up! 😉

Jasprit Bumrah bowled a 140 kph delivery and then dropped the next one by 30 kph so as to make Shaun Marsh wait for an eternity before catching him plumb in front.

The mega screen made him angry!

Virat Kohli was disappointed after wasting another DRS. And he finds himself on the mega screen focussing his disappointed face, the Indian captain reacted furiously.

Man of the moment!

The most impressive bowler today was Jasprit Bumrah who bowled brilliantly and took a five-wicket haul.

Umpire congratulates Bumrah!

Jasprit Bumrah led the Indian bowling attack, grabbing a career-best haul of 6/33 to wrap up Australia's first innings.

Cummin's change in emotions!

Though it was a shambolic batting performance by the Aussies, they somehow manage to bounce back with Pat Cummins picking 4 early wickets.

Distractions!

There was a bird strolling on the pitch which created distraction for the players. First Pat Cummins stopped while taking his run-up and later Hanuma Vihari asked the umpire to wait as the bird was crossing the pitch.
