Murali Vijay, who has been impressive in the series, failed to create magic on Tuesday. He fell prey to Josh Hazlewood in front of the stumps. Shikhar Dhawan was sent back to the pavilion by Ryan Harris for a duck.
GOT HIM, GONE! Vijay is trapped in front by Hazlewood. Gone for 11. India 3-19. LIVE: http://t.co/LDINCret7f #AUSvIND
