Twitter reacts as India finally get a review right and Saha's "funny catch"!
Twitterati had a field day as on the first Day of the third Test between India and Australia in Ranchi. India had a brilliant start to the game as they dismissed Warner, Renshaw, and Marsh for just 89. But a 159-run partnership between Steve Smith and Maxwell has put Australia in the driving seat.
Brief scores: Australia 299/4 (Steve Smith 117*, Glenn Maxwell 82*; Umesh Yadav 2/63) after 90 overs.
Despite losing three wickets in the first session of the day, Australia managed to make up for it through the strong defiant partnership between Steve Smith and Glenn Maxwell that helped Australia finish the day at 299/4. On his way to his hundred, Smith also crossed 5,000 runs in his Test career.
That timing!

Dhoni Review System for a reason! :P
India has got DRS right this morning. Playing at Dhoni's home certainly has its advantages. #IndvAus

Australian Media are you listening? :P
Condemning a pitch before a ball has been bowled is like sentencing a person before a hearing.

Maxwell has the "Wtf is Ashwin planning here ?" look all over his face.
