Veteran spinner delivers classic spell of 8-64 in Indore, helped by a brilliant Steve Smith catch to dismiss Cheteshwar Pujara

Brilliant Steve Smith catch to dismiss Cheteshwar PujaraAnother classic spell from star spinner Nathan Lyon has Australia poised to breakthrough and defeat India in the third Test in Indore.

It was Lyon’s 23rd five-wicket haul, backing up his 5-67 during the second Test in Delhi when he bowled arguably the best he had in his 118-match career. The hosts were fighting hard at 7-155, but Australia took complete control when acting captain Steve Smith hung onto a brilliant catch to dismiss Pujara off Lyon’s bowling.Photograph: Robert Cianflone/Getty Images

They extended their first-innings lead to 88 but suffered another monumental collapse to be all-out for 197. However, India came out of the drinks break breathing fire, skittling Australia’s brittle tail as the tourists collapsed by losing 6-11 in 35 minutes.
