INDORE, India :Travis Head smashed a breezy 49 not out as Australia quickly reeled in their small target to wrap up the third test against India well inside three days in Indore, ending the hosts' nine-match unbeaten run at home.
Australia, who now trail the four-match series 2-1 after being outplayed in Nagpur and Delhi, began day three needing just 76 runs to seal the win but had to do so on a pitch where 30 wickets had tumbled in the first two days. Head saw no point in retreating into a shell and counter-attacked to lift the pressure, hitting Ashwin for a six, and suddenly boundaries started flowing.
"That first day, losing the toss and having to bowl first ... our bowlers just got the ball in the right areas and put India under pressure," Smith said.
