3.18pm Australia have declared, setting India a target of 407.

3.07 pm: And that's also tea. Australia have stretched their lead to 406. You would imagine a declaration will come at some point in the final session. Nothing like unleashing Cummins, Hazlewood and Starc on a team that's been out in the sun for a long while. This was Australia's session, even though India got some wickets. But the rapid scoring has put a win beyond the realms of the probable for India. Bumrah was indefatigable, Ashwin prevented Smith from getting a 100 in each innings, Green showed off his talent. There was also a moment of unsavouriness which ended well, with offending spectators removed from the stands by security after they had presumably heckled Mohammed Siraj, who had gone to field at that boundary.

Bumrah to Green, OUT, and now the length ball, nipping in, Green stepping away to thrash it again, but is beaten. Or is he? Saha's gone up in spontaneous appeal and the umpire has given it. Green takes a pause and then reviews. There is a spike as the ball passes bat, and it does look like it took a feather of an inside edge, so Green's entertaining knock ends. Bumrah has some reward at last, having bowled his heart out.

Bumrah to Green, SIX, take that says Green. If you bounce me, I'll send you over the fence. And not just that, I'll do it on the front foot to a ball that's homing in on my head. Bumrah banged it in hard and it was rising, but Green hooks it on the front foot over square leg.

Bumrah to Green, FOUR, what a shot. Stunning execution by Green. This is almost a yorker on the stumps, he's gone on the back foot, cleared his front leg and drilled it straight past the bowler

Shane: "Great to see the umpires, security and police take care of the situation so well. And great to see a cheer from the crowd when the alleged offenders were removed. We don't need people like that at the cricket! "

3.01 pm: We're set to resume.

2.59 pm: Players still huddled in the centre. Security personnel in the stands. And security have asked a group of four men to leave the stands. No there's a few more who are being asked to leave too.

2.54 pm: Bumrah was running in but pulled out. Something happening at the boundary at square leg I think. Rahane walked up to the square leg umpire. Indian players gathered around the umpire and having a word. Umpires talking at the edge of the boundary. I hate to say it, but Siraj and Bumrah had alleged racial abuse by the crowd yesterday, and I hope it's not more of the same. Security officers are i nthe stands. Rahane has an arm around Siraj's shoulder. Rahane and Siraj are pointing at one section of the stands while talking to the umpires.

Those hits from Green make it seem like a declaration is imminent. He's 26 away from a maiden Test century though.

Mohammed Siraj to Green, SIX, doesn't time it as well but still gets it over long-on! This was not as full as the previous one, more bottom hand in this as he doesn't get fully underneath. Goes flatter than the last ball but still sails over long-on.

Mohammed Siraj to Green, SIX, boom. Cameron Green is showing off his hitting power. Full ball on the stumps, goes deep in his crease to go underneath the ball and uses his height and long hands to power through a golf swing waaaay over long-on. That's a shot that's not out of place in the slog overs of a T20 game
