India vs Australia 2nd Test highlights: Hosts ahead by 175 runs, game evenly poised

Virat Kohli's brilliant knock stole the show on day 3 of the Perth Test. His 25th century, his sixth overall in Australia put India on course to take the first-innings lead but Nathan Lyon ran through the tail to pick up his 14th five-wicket haul as Australia managed a slender 43-run lead. In response, the Indian bowlers took wickets at crucial intervals but Usman Khawaja's solid knock has stretched their lead to 175 at the end of day 3. With the pitch offering plenty of movement for the pacers, a target in excess of 250 or 300 could prove to be difficult for the Indian team to chase. (SCORECARD)
