High drama on the third day as India collapsed in the space of 16 overs. Australia's last strike of the day also took out one of India's key bowlers for the rest of the series. Mohammed Shami wore a Pat Cummins short ball on his forearm and retired hurt as India fell to an abject 36 - their lowest Test total. Australia won the day-night match before the floodlights even came on for the evening.
