12.35pm Welcome back folks, Gnasher with you for an hour. Tricky to judge how good Australia's 369 is, but it feels reasonably substantial despite it being an innings where they let things slip a couple of times.

Finn: "Afternoon Gnasher, I feel like Australia will be disappointed with that total. The pitch hasn't played any tricks and almost all the batsman gave their wickets away easily."

If you're in the Indian subcontinent, catch up with the first session highlights right here

Rajat: "We should hold the judgement on this being a decent outing by Indian debutants till we see Cummins, Starc, Haze bowl. Pitch has bounce and Indian pacers couldn't make use of it. I don't see how India can make over 220 here"

Siddesh G: "Why did it take so long for Rahane to bring back Nattu??" --- A good question is also why did it take a wait for this particular bowler for India to go full?

KaFi: "Two debutants and an almost-debutant take 3 wickets apiece in a combined effort of just under 80 overs @ 3-and-a- quarter runs an over. Given the circumstances in which this XI was put together, India should not mind."

Ryan M: "@Matt: Hazlewood when he first came into the team was a pretty genuine 11, and Bollinger definitely earned the bunny label while he was in the side. Our tail is rarely long, but we've had a couple easy wickets along the way."

Also Matt: "Matt, you don't remember Bruce Reid or Terry Alderman??"

Gautam : "Have to applaud the efforts from Indian bowlers. Total wickets experience of 13 wickets...4 dropped catches..1 bowler down after bowling 8 overs.. great achievement. Now its batsmen turn to give them enough rest and get to close Aus total."

12.05pm, Lunch The tail waggeth. Australia have managed 95 today before being bowled out, and I think it's fair to say that's a bit of an under-performance given how well Paine and Green had looked. A solid start to the day but they were 315 for 8 not long back, so this is a welcome total in that context. A decent outing for India's depleted depleted attack. Down to four bowlers once more, they did it all until letting Australia pick up a few at the end there. Solid debuts from Sundar and Natarajan, and a decent comeback into Tests for Thakur as well after he hobbled off on debut two years ago. The pitch has played well for batsmen, apart from the odd ones that lift up. We'll be back soon for India's response.

Here is Natarajan aka Yorker Nattu aka Salem Starc

Matt: "Yet again Australia is getting runs from the bowlers... in my 32yrs, only McGrath and maybe MacGill have been absolute bunnies with the bat! Every other bowler we've played has been good for 10 runs "

Switches to over the wicket

Thomas: "I've never understood why people mock Starc for taking lots of tail end wickets, it's a very underrated skill. Nothing more frustrating for a fielding team than a wagging tail."

Extra time

Around the wicket again

Back over the wicket now

We're now headed for an extended session if Australia aren't bowled out in seven minutes. Sundar around the wickets

Bharath: "@Srisri Nice thought that. Let's see that team. Counting tail from batsman from no.8. Ashwin, Cummins, Bhuvi, Keshav Maharaj, Jamieson, Starc, Ikram Ali khil(WK), Rabada, Lyon, Adil Rashid, Jofra Archer"
