12.45pm And that is that. India have been bundled out for a mere 109 after opting to bat. If the pitches in Nagpur and Delhi troubled the batters, this one must have been a nightmare. Rohit Sharma got two lives in the opening over of the day when Australia field to review the on-field not-out decisions by Nitin Menon but it didn't prove costly as spinners found turn and variable bounce. Spinners shared all the wickets that fell to bowlers; the final one was a run-out. This is India's lowest Test total at home since 107 and 105 vs Australia in Pune 2017, Sampath tells me. Also, India's fifth shortest all-out innings at home, he adds.

Kuhnemann to Yadav, OUT, given lbw and that's a five-for for Kuhnemann. Surprisingly, Umesh doesn't review the decision. It felt it was touch and go with the pitching. Was a length ball that landed around leg stump and kept low. Hit Umesh low in front of leg and would have hit leg. The ball-tracking shows it pitching just inside the line of leg stump
