Rob: "Please tell me that the pitch is likely to crumble so we can have a result." --- It is expected to, but who really knows?

3.58pm What an effort from Australia with the bat, including Lyon and Murphy, who got 34 and 41, respectively. But the base was built by Khawaja's marathon 180, and Green's more enterprising 114, his maiden Test hundred. Credit to Ashwin, who got 6 for 91, for bowling consistently - almost magically at times - on a pitch which still hasn't shown signs of sharp turn, and remains unresponsive. But remember, the Indians were fielding for 167 overs, and their openers will be especially tired when they come out to bat. Join us in ten.

Hrishi: "Worried about the prospect of this test. If Lyon is playing 90 balls, imagine what Pujara can do to Aussies!" --- He can bat until the tour gets over
