    16.1 caught behind! Nicked him off! Perfect delivery. Beat him twice at the end of the last over. This is full, angled in on a fourth stump line, it just wobbles away a touch as Khawaja defends from the crease with minimal footwork, gets a tiny nick and Pant takes a simple catch. 31/1
    18.3 edged to second slip! Bumrah again! Back of a length, angled in, straightening and climbing, McSweeney is squared up on the crease, defending the wrong line, gets thick edge and it floats to Kohli who pouches it easily 38/2
    33.2 tempted, and falls! Labuschagne has been itching to get a solid cover drive away. Nitish bowls full, bit wider outside off, and Labuschagne tries to play the drive. Expansive shot, away from his body, and that's taken the edge to Kohli! Flying to second slip's right but Kohli manages to take a sharp one at shoulder height. Labuschagne falls one over after the bail swap 75/3
    82.6 edged and taken by Rohit at first slip! Bumrah again! Wide of the crease, full, seam up, inviting the drive, he drives hard, it just nips away to catch the edge and Rohit takes the catch well moving to his right 316/4

    86.5 five for Bumrah and the fifth wicket is the prized scalp of Travis Head! Scramble-seam ball, full and slightly wide outside off. Head tries to crunch a drive through the off side, but he ends up nicking off to Pant! Gone for 152 and he leaves with a standing ovation. 327/6
    86.2 Kohli with a sharp catch! Fullish ball just outside off. Angling into off stump. Marsh presses the bat forward to defend under his eyeline, but it takes the outside edge and flies to Kohli at head height. Kohli topples over behind himself after completing the catch but it's a safe take. Bumrah with a fourth, Marsh gone without much impact 326/5
    117.1 holes out to deep midwicket! Short ball, chest high, there to hit, he tries to take on deep midwicket but gets it off the toe of the bat and it falls well short of the rope, Gill is there to take the catch 445/10
    97.5 Siraj wicket the wicket! No real talk from the man this time. He gets a pat on his head from Rohit and Kohli after that dismissal. This was a good length ball on a fourth-stump line. Good bounce off the pitch, and a bit of movement away. Cummins pokes at it, and gets the edge to Pant. 385/7
    105.6 caught behind! Bumrah has six! 136kph, full, seam up on a fifth stump line, threatening to shape in but it holds it's line, he pushes with minimal footwork and gets a little nick through to the keeper. Easy catch for Pant 423/8
    116.3 bowled him! Through the gate! Full, tailing into middle, it seams in too, Lyon plays a booming drive but leaves a huge gap between bat and pad, it crashes into middle, three-quarters of the way up 445/9

    0.2 Starc has his man! Pitched up on middle and Jaiswal looks to flick, but ends up just chipping it to Marsh at forward square leg! That's a very soft dismissal. 4/1

    42.3 Redemption for Smith! He takes a blinder at slip! Rahul looks to punch away a length ball and the ball flies to Smith's right. He flings himself at it and grabs it one-handed. A resolute knock comes to an end. Smith will be delighted, having dropped Rahul on the first ball of the day today, when he was on 33 141/6
    2.1 You can't do that, Mitch Marsh! Starc tempts Gill with the full ball outside off and Gill takes the bait. Drives hard at it and the ball flies to Marsh's left at gully, where he flies and grabs it mid-air. That flew off the edge, so it was a difficult grab too. No Cam Green at gully? No problem for Australia! 6/2
    7.2 Hazlewood draws the nick from Kohli! It's a scene we have seen before. It's pitched up outside off and straightens off the pitch, but Kohli goes chasing and gets a thin edge. A lot of the Australian players run up to Starc, as his fielding meant Australia saved three runs and got Kohli on strike for this ball! 22/3
    13.5 Edged and taken! Cummins angles a length ball across Pant, that pitches on middle and seams away slightly. It's enough to take the edge as Pant brings his bat down in defence and Cummins sends Pant back for the third time this series 44/4
    23.3 caught behind! The leg cutter does it. Wobble seam, fifth stump line, it just nibbles away a touch, Rohit drives with minimal footwork, gets a healthy edge and Carey takes a simple catch 74/5
    65.6 holes out to deep square! Another good catch from Marsh. 142kph, good high bouncer, outside off, Jadeja took on the pull but couldn't control it, Marsh runs in from his position 10 metres off the deep square rope and takes a good diving catch low to the turf 213/9
    59.5 This time he chops on! Cummins gets the breakthrough! Length ball seams in ever so slightly as Reddy fends at it away from his body. Takes the inside edge onto the stumps. India still 52 away from avoiding the follow-on 194/7
    62.6 caught behind! Good catch by Carey to his right! Full from around the wicket, angled into off, touch of seam away, just a hint, he drives hard and gets a thick edge, Carey is positioned closer to the stumps line because of the angled and had to dive full stretch to his right and it stuck in the right glove 201/8

    78.5 Carey thinks he has stumped Akash! And he has! Tossed up and drifting across, drawing a forward defence, it slides on with the arm, Akash had dragged his back foot out trying to reach pout to defend, it beats the edge, Carey whips off the bails and Akash hadn't slid his foot back in time. Great wicketkeeping 260/10

    7.3 caught behind! Bottom edge! Another poorly executed shot. Short and wide, he tries to cut but it maybe stays a touch lower than expected, he gets a bottom edge and Pant has another easy catch 16/3
    2.4 bowled him! Through the gate off a little inside edge. Full length, angled in, he lures the drive without much footwork, it nips in a little further and catches the inside edge, hits the pad and knocks back the top of off 11/1
    6.1 Caught behind! Very loose waft! Nowhere near Bumrah's best ball of this spell. Back of a length, wide of off, but not short enough to cut. He plays an unconvincing flap off from the crease and gets a thick edge through to Pant! 16/2
    9.5 caught behind! Another one! Good length, sixth stump line, Marsh in two minds shaped to force on the up through cover and it just seamed away, he tried to withdraw the shot but got a little nick and Pant does the rest 28/4
    14.4 top edge straight up and Pant takes it! Shorter length, outside off, he tries to flat bat pull down the ground and gets a top edge that flies high towards gully, Pant calls everyone out and takes the catch 60/6
    10.6 caught down the leg side! Just like Adelaide! Angled down the leg side, he glances and only gets a little tickle, Pant flies to his left and takes a superb catch 33/5

    17.1 KL Rahul gets under it and holds on! It's a slower ball from Bumrah, full outside off. Cummins has a swing and skies it. Rahul settles under it around mid-off and grabs it 85/7
