    #IndiaInAustralia: Three key moments of day three of second Test

    The Indian cricket team has handed Australia significant advantage on Day 3 of the second Test in Perth. The Indian batting collapsed post Virat Kohli's dismissal. India handed Australia a 43-run lead. Usman Khawaja (41*) then saw Aussies get to 132/4 and a lead of 175 runs. Here are the key things that defined today's play.

    India hand advantage to Australia

    India started Day 3 at 172/3. The visitors lost 7 wickets for 111 runs earlier in the day. Kohli smashed his 25th Test ton. Nathan Lyon picked five wickets. The Test match is tilted towards Australia at the moment.

    Lyon leads the show for the Aussies

    As India missed a specialist spinner badly, Australia cashed in on with Lyon. The premier off-spinner picked 5 Indian wickets in the first innings. He picked all his wickets today which included the likes of Ajinkya Rahane and Rishabh Pant. Lyon also helped the hosts in wiping off the Indian tail. The pitch is offering him assistance at the moment.

    Contrasting tale for India with the bat

    For India, skipper Kohli smashed his way into the record books after scoring a fantastic century. He was out controversially after amassing 123 runs. Kohli looked solid throughout and didn't give away anything. The same cannot be said about the others. Rahane got out early in the morning and then middle order batsmen Hanuma Vihari and Rishabh Pant couldn't go on long.

    Aussies hang on to do just enough

    India have bowled well in the second innings, but the wickets haven't come as per their liking. Aaron Finch and Marcus Harris gave the hosts a decent start (59). From there on India pegged the Aussies with key wickets. Khawaja has looked solid in the middle. The more he spends time, the bigger the issue for India. The lead of 43 was big.
