Ankit Sharma: "36 was once in a lifetime event. One cannot read much into that. But yeah that fluke reduced India to 0-1 deficit. "

Wasti: "I have a gut feeling that 195 would prove too much for India. Fingers crossed!!"

Tanay: "When Smith fails like he did in both the first innings in the series so far, it makes Aus middle order look quite vulnerable to a disciplined bowling. "

sinner: "All said and done, Aussies yet to cross 200 runs in the series!"

5.00pm So the bowlers have done their job for India. Ashwin led the way in the morning, Bumrah ensured the tail didn't wag much. And Australia are bundled out for 195. Gaurav Sundararaman reminds me that on the Boxing Day in 2003, Sehwag scored 195 by himself. Before you all come at me, I have told him that India still lost that game.

Still about 20 minutes left in the day's play. You expect Australia to bowl five overs in that time. EDIT: Oh, then we will have extra half an hour. So a tricky phase awaits Agarwal and Gill.

Jadeja to Cummins, OUT, goes for the slog sweep and a good catch by Siraj, pedalling back towards long-on. No five-for for Bumrah but India wrap up Australia under 200. Was a length ball around off and spinning away and Cummins decided there is no point playing the waiting game. Went for it but couldn't middle as the ball was spinning away

Bumrah to Hazlewood, FOUR, loses his radar and ends up bowling it full down the leg side, clipped away to the fine leg boundary

Hazlewood to face, can Bumrah complete a five-for? Around the wicket

Bumrah to Lyon, OUT, two bouncers followed by a fuller one. It was fast and straight and thuds into Lyon's pads before he could get his bat down. Up goes the finger. The only doubt is if it's going down. There's no bat, the impact is on middle and leg and it would have just gone on to clip the leg stump, the on-field umpire's call stays as it is. Bumrah gets his fourth

Bumrah to Lyon, SIX, Bumrah goes for the bouncer, Lyon for the pull and makes a good enough connection to swivel it over fine leg, all the way for a six

Bumrah to Lyon, 2 runs, length ball moving away slightly off the seam, Lyon looks to drive and gets a thick outside edge behind point

Sivaram: "More the tail drags, less would be the overs India face which will add pressure to Openers. Why Jadeja been given the ball at this juncture? Aussies tail will easily negotiate."
