4.57pm Australia have continued to struggle in the end overs. All they could muster is 32 runs off the last six overs, substantially below par, even though this surface is slightly two-paced. It seemed, after the start, that Australia set themselves up for 300 again, but yet again, another absolute struggle towards the end overs. Pace off the ball, cutters, the quicker delivery, that's what Australia need, and hope that it can reverse swing later. Back in a bit.

Kumar to Coulter-Nile, OUT, misses a full, straight ball. 138 kph, full on off, Coulter-Nile winds up and looks to unfurl a big swing, but fails to connect at all. The off stump is uprooted

Kumar to Faulkner, 1 run, OUT, run-out! A 123 kph slower ball wide outside off, Faulkner can only mis-time it to long-on, he wants to retain strike for the final ball, and runs back but was never going to make it. Dhoni collects the ball and removes the bails with Faulkner a foot short

JP Faulkner run out 12 (27m 17b 0x4 0x6) SR: 70.58

Kumar to Cummins, 1 run, full and straight again, all Cummins can do is drive to long-on, with the direction of swing. Another single
