11.10am India's morning all the way, but it certainly didn't look like that when Green and Handscomb blunted the bowling in a wicketless first hour. And then, without any warning, came an epic collapse. Ashwin picked up three while Umesh, running in with pace and venom, nipped out the other three in a fabulous exhibition of reverse swing bowling. It means India have managed to limit Australia's lead to 88, which is still gold dust on this surface.

Ashwin to Lyon, OUT, bowled him! Lyon sees this tossed up and goes for that slog sweep, misses it altogether and the stumps are smashed. Ashwin ends with three wickets as Australia have been bundled out in quick time after an excellent first hour of play. They've lost their last six wickets for just 12.

Geo: "I am not sure what I am enjoying more - Aus batters doing better than India on a spinning track or Umesh performing on a spinners track!"

Yadav to Murphy, OUT, bowled him! Through Murphy's defence again. He attacks the stumps yet again, gets the ball to reverse back in from around the stumps. Murphy plays inside the line and that split-second decision of prodding half-heartedly costs him as he hears and later sees the stumps blasted out.

Yadav to Lyon, 1 run, reverses in to crash into Lyon's pads but the ball was doing too much. The ball deflects off the pad to the off side and they sneak in a leg bye.
