Adelaide, December 8: India have maintained the grip over Australia on Friday (December 7) and they extended it to the Day 3 on Saturday (December 8) -- first closing the Australian innings early and then batting better in the second innings when their turn came. India made 151/3 at close for a lead of 166.
