Melbourne: India are well within distance of levelling the four-match Test series after reducing Australia to 133 for 6 at stumps on the third day of the second Test here on Monday.
Ajinkya Rahane”s 112 and Ravindra Jadeja”s 57 took India to a decent first innings score of 326 and a handy 131 run lead.
