An evenly poised session comes to an end as Australia score 65/2 at Tea on Day 3 of the 2nd Test at Melbourne. 

The Australian innings started in the post-lunch session. Umesh Yadav struck the first blow taking the wicket of opener Joe Burns in the fourth over of the innings at four. Yadav soon left the field limping, a blow for India if the injury is serious. 

Marnus Labuschagne and Mathew Wade looked to play their shots and tried to put pressure back on India. However, Labuschagne's innings couldn't last long as he edged a straight delivery from R Ashwin to slips. 

Steve Smith survived the last 20 minutes of Ashwin's spell along with Mathew Wade at the crease. 

Brief Score - 65/2 (Marnus Labuschagne - 28; R Ashwin - 1/24)
