- BATSMENRB4s6sSR53.1 Krishna is letting is rip at the MCG. Is he bowling himself into the India's senior squad? Back of a length, angling in from round the wicket, then seams away outside off. Harris hangs his bat out in the channel before belatedly withdrawing it. He can only feed an outside edge to Jurel. Krishna could've had four by now had Rahul not dropped McAndrew off him 167/719 Khaleel thinks he has his man and the finger goes up! Khaleel ventures wide on the crease and bowls an inswinger. Kontas is caught on his crease. He prods at it and is beaten on the inside edge. Struck in front of off on the back pad and Kontas has to depart 58/323.2 Popped up to mid-on! The ball swerves away from Mukesh but he judges it well and pouches it. Fullish and outside off, Davies has a hack at it and miscues it to Mukesh. Smart catch 75/428.2 Edged and taken by Rahul at second slip. Outstanding catch from Rahul, diving in front of first slip to grab it inches from the turf. Full and seams away outside off, Webster jabs away from the body and Rahul dives across to his left to snag the catch. India A can dream of a first-innings lead 84/549.4 Jurel and Krishna think they have their man. Indeed, the finger goes up. Out caught behind. Short and outside off, Krishna gets it to skid through outside off. Pierson benefitted from the pull earlier today but this time he can just under-edge it behind to Jurel 152/653.2 Krishna now has four! Hits the in-between length outside off. Neither pullable or cuttable. Some extra bounce as well. Boland spars at it and outside-edges it to first slip, where Easwaran takes a smart overhead catch 167/862.1 Big swipe and gone! Short of a length delivery angling in, he moves back to go big and ends up nicking it behind to keeper.That will also be tea 223/9Extras20 (b 8, lb 6, nb 6)TOTAL223 all out (62.1 Overs, RR: 3.58)Fall of wickets: 1-31 (Nathan McSweeney, 8.2 ov), 2-43 (Cameron Bancroft, 14.3 ov), 3-58 (Sam Konstas, 18.6 ov), 4-75 (Oliver Davies, 23.2 ov), 5-84 (Beau Webster, 28.2 ov), 6-152 (Jimmy Peirson, 49.4 ov), 7-167 (Marcus Harris, 53.1 ov), 8-167 (Scott Boland, 53.2 ov), 9-223 (Corey Rocchiccioli, 62.1 ov)

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR8 Sharp catch at gully! Corey Rocchiccioli is it. He's been having a good day and it gets even better. Full and outside off, nips away, Easwaran pushes out with firm hands and nicks it to gully, where Rocchiccioli takes a fantastic catch. Another failure for Easwaran ahead of the Perth Test 25/117.1 What was that? Was he expecting it to turn down the leg side? Through the legs and bowled via a deflection of the pad. Tossed up and turning into middle, Rahul misjudges it and doesn't offer any shot. He simply pads up to it and deflects it back onto his own stumps. Bizarre dismissal. Rocchiccioli strikes with his first ball 44/410 edged and grabbed at slips. The finger goes up and Sudharsan has to go. Terrific, low catch from Bancroft at second slip. He dives forward to pouch it. Full and seams away enough to kiss the outside edge. Bancroft then makes it look ridiculously easy 31/216.4 This looks close and the finger goes up. McAndrew catches Gaikwad on the crease with a fuller delivery that skids back in to strike him in line with middle. That might have crashed into the leg stump 44/322.2 edged and taken at first slip. India A are five down and sinking at the MCG. Full and outside off, nips away against the inward angle from round the wicket, Padikkal wafts at it from the crease and nicks it behind 56/5Extras3 (lb 1, nb 2)TOTAL73/5 (31 Overs, RR: 2.35)Fall of wickets: 1-25 (Abhimanyu Easwaran, 7.6 ov), 2-31 (Sai Sudharsan, 9.6 ov), 3-44 (Ruturaj Gaikwad, 16.4 ov), 4-44 (KL Rahul, 17.1 ov), 5-56 (Devdutt Padikkal, 22.2 ov)
