11.45am So, India wrap up Australia in an extended first session. But do Australia have more than enough? They lead by 440, leaving India with the biggest chase if they want to go up in this series. Jadeja was exceptional in that session, beating the bat numerous times but a fuller length also ensured he got a few edges. Steven Smith went on to make a terrific century to lead Australia along. India's batting effort will begin in 40 minutes.

Darren Sammy was a star on Polite Enquiries with Osman Samiuddin. He's treated us to various on-field celebrations over the years, but he wishes he had thought of the one Grant Elliott did.

From the world of football: The All India Football Federation is all set to revamp its grassroots development programme. Here is all you need to know about the proposed league system.

Jadeja to O'Keefe, OUT, and that's the end of the innings. O'Keefe reviews but has taken off his gloves and is heading off for some lunch. Tosses this up down leg, the ball spins away. O'Keefe has planted his front foot forward, head over the ball, tries to defend, but the ball spins away sharply and kisses the outside edge. Saha holds onto another terrific catch. So much turn, and with that angle, even first slip could have taken it.
