After their batters cut loose on the first two days, Australia A's bowlers have been made to sweat it out against India A in Lucknow.
Centuries to opener Sam Konstas (109 off 144 balls) and wicketkeeper Josh Philippe (123no off just 87), plus half-centuries to Campbell Kellaway (88 off 97), Cooper Connolly (70 off 84) and Liam Scott (82 off 122), propelled the tourists to a massive first-innings total of 6-532 declared on the second day of the four-day match at Lucknow's Ekana Cricket Stadium.
However, when it came their turn at the crease, India A showed the Aussies they had some battling talent of their own, cruising to 4-403 by stumps on Thursday's third day.
