This has been a monumental bowling effort from India after that monumental seventh-wicket stand in the first session. They now need 106 to win. Be back in 10 minutes. We have six overs left today

Ashwin to Hazlewood, OUT, another appeal, given again, and Hazlewood has reviewed this one. Will this innings resume again? Seems like this has been given out caught at silly point. No edge, though. This has hit him on the knee roll in front of off. They check the lbw too. This has returned umpire's call for height on middle stump. The on-field decision remains, which means the umpire must have given him out lbw on the field

Ashwin to Hazlewood, no run, what a sharp catch by Vijay at gully. They are checking with the third umpire. Soft signal is out. And has Vijay has dropped this?. Yes he has. Vijay is coming back from the dressing room. He must be taking has pads off. This one is low to gully as Hazlewood edges, Vijay catches it, but he grasses it. He doesn't get his fingers in. Or so the third umpire rules. Vijay claims he has his finger under it

Yadav to Wade, 2 runs, short of a length, pulled wide of mid-on, Rahane's misfield there converts this into two. Ideally wade doesn't want two because this is the last ball of the over. He has rushed back thinking he can get three, but Rahane is really quick

Yadav to Wade, no run, dropped by Ashwin. He doesn't pick it. Cut away outside off. Gets an edge. Late wobble? Ashwin upright too early. Put down. That is a fact

Ashwin to Wade, no run, slog-sweeps one to deep midwicket. Turns down the single

Ashwin comes back. They don't want to give Wade that angle now that Wade has given away that he wants to hit. Again pro-active captaincy by Rahane

How will Wade approach this now? Has only two partners left. Australia only 89 ahead. They need to get close to 150 to be able to have a target to bowl at
