Innings break Amazing finish to India's innings. They lost 4 for 4. Starc finishes with 3 wickets but Lyon was the star with 6 wickets. Australia need to chase 323 for victory. They have four and a half sessions to do it. No team has ever chased that many in a Test in Adelaide. WA did chase 313 a couple of weeks ago in a Sheffield Shield game at Adelaide Oval. But India's Test attack is far superior and will be a severe test for the Australian top order. Shashank will take you through the start of Australia's chase.

Starc to I Sharma, OUT, caught at short leg! This was a short ball banged in, Ishant just thrust the bat at it in hope of not getting hit, he popped it up in the air and Finch takes a simple catch at short leg!

Maulik Shah: "Senseless batting from India. They should have batter until the target was 350 before going for their shots. All they needed to do was stick around and Starc would have taken them to 350 with his byes."
