\"ShreyasMumbai: Half-centuries by Mitchell Marsh and Matthew Wade coupled with an excellent bowling performance enabled Australians to take the upper hand on the penultimate day of their three-day tie against India A here on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Resuming their first innings at the overnight 327\/5, the visitors rode on strong batting displays by Marsh and Wade before declaring at 469\/7.<\/p>\n

Australian pacer Jackson Bird and off-spinner Nathan Lyon then picked up a couple of wickets each as India A posted 176\/4 in their first innings by the end of the day’s play.<\/p>\n

The in-form Shreyas Iyer was batting on 85 with Rishabh Pant on three at the other end as India A trailed by 293 runs at the close.<\/p>\n

The morning session was dominated by the Australians as Marsh and Wade managed to find the boundary ropes at regular intervals.<\/p>\n

Wade notched up 64 runs, hitting nine boundaries during his 89-ball stay in the middle before being dismissed by off-spinner Akhil Herwadkar.<\/p>\n

Marsh was in an equally belligerent mood at the other end, scoring 75 runs off 159 balls with 11 hits to the fence and six.<\/p>\n

Pacer Navdeep Saini was the most successful among the India A bowlers with figures of 2\/42. Hardik Pandya, Shahbaz Nadeem and Herwadkar bagged a wicket each.<\/p>\n

In reply, India A were off to a rocky start in their first innings.<\/p>\n

Herwadkar was the first to depart following a successful caught and bowled attempt by Lyon. The Australian off-spinner dismissed the other India A opener Priyank Panchal as well before Ankit Bawne was trapped leg before by Bird.<\/p>\n

Iyer and Pandya then tried to bring the innings back on track with a 52-run stand before the latter was caught behind off Bird’s bowling.<\/p>\n

Brief scores:<\/p>\n

Australians (First Innings): 469\/7 declared (Steven Smith 107 retired out, Shaun Marsh 104 retired out, Mitchell Marsh 75, Matthew Wade 64; Navdeep Saini 2\/42) vs India A (First Innings): 176\/4 (Shreyas Iyer 85 batting; Jackson 2\/15, Nathan Lyon 2\/72).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
