India, who won the toss and opted to bat, found themselves in a spot of bother against Australia in the third Test at Indore.

The hosts were bowled out for 109 by Australia in the post-lunch session on the opening day.

Virat Kohli made 22, while Shubman Gill scored 21.

Left-arm spinner Matthew Kuhnemann (5/16) and Nathan Lyon (3/35) starred with the ball for Australia on a pitch that offered vicious turn.

Take a look at how the wickets tumbled in Indore:
