3.26 pm: This just in from the BCCI - Rishabh Pant was hit on the left elbow while batting in the second session on Saturday. He has been taken for scans. And Gnasher - or Andrew McGlashan as you all might know him - confirms that 'Saha is warming up.' Gnasher has also spotted Jadeja warming up, so that blow he took might not have been that bad.
Mohit : "So I guess this is the perfect conclusion for Saha vs Pant debate... Pant to bat and Saha to keep!"
Ayaz: "A substitute keeper is allowed? Thought only fielders were allowed to come as subs."
- keepers are also allowed now, Ayaz.
3.15pm All over for India then, the tail wrapped up quickly and a collapse of their own. India weren't looking that bad earlier, nearly 200 and four down before Pant and Pujara fell in quick succession to start a collapse of 6 for 49. It was the new ball and the relentless accuracy of this excellent pace attack that combined along with the three run-outs to give Australia a handy lead of 94 runs. Could have been much more but Jadeja collected some useful boundaries, especially against Starc, to take India to 244. Gnasher confirms from the ground that Saha is warming up so Pant's injury might not be a small one. Let's see what we come to know of Jadeja's thumb injury too. It's tea and Saurabh will be back after the break
Aneesh Mohimen: "Aus 105 overs for 338. India 100 overs for 244. That's the difference right there. Combination of batting intent and tighter bowling."
Nilesh Malhotra: "See the value of Pujara's dot balls!! Atleast he held the innings together. Once he is gone its a collapse. I wouldnt mind him playing more dot balls."

Jadeja and Siraj have a word in the middle of the pitch quickly after that boundary. Wonder what advice he's giving Siraj
And here's a clip of run out No. 3 of India's innings, for those in the Indian subcontinent: Labuschagne gets Bumrah
