Australia vs India First Test 2017: Day Three live cricket scores from Pune

Well, thanks for joining us through a stunning three days. It was an entertaining ride, culminating in Australia's first Test win on Indian soil since 2004, and snapping a nine-game losing skid in Asia.

A delighted Steve Smith says he was "really proud" of his team.

"I am sure the guys will bounce back strongly," he said.

He hopes the defeat is an "aberration"

"We have to take this loss on the chin ... it's a big learning for me. I have to accept that before anyone else on the team and take the team forward," he said.

What a turn around it's been since the debacle that was Hobart, when the Proteas secured an unbeatable series lead.

Rod Marsh quit as national selection chairman, and was replaced by Trevor Hohns, and there was a shake up of the team.

Steve Smith was given a side to forge in his own right and the Aussies responded with a crushing series win over Pakistan. Now this ...
