India 148-3 (58 ovs) & 250 v Aus 235 | Scorecard

Kohli continues to grow in confidence. A wide half-volley from Starc is sent crashing through the covers for a four before he takes one two balls later and Pujara defends the rest of the over.

Lyon comes back as Head is taken off after just a couple of overs. Kohli watchfully defends the first three balls before he clips the fourth on the leg side for one.

Starc bowls a quiet over as Kohli opts to defend with caution. Pujara has the physio come out and attend to his hamstring.

With just six overs left in the day, it looks like India's batsmen have already decided to shut shop.

Pujara watchfully plays out a maiden over from Lyon as he continues to frustrate the spinner by using his pads to defend.

Hazlewood comes back to replace Starc and he bowls a good over as Pujara is beaten outside the off-stump.

Lyon strikes a few overs before stumps and that too with the big wicket of Kohli. The India captain comes forward to defend but the ball turns sharply to take the inside edge and Finch at short leg completes an easy catch.

Kohli walks back after a sedate innings of 34 from 104 balls as India are reduced to 147 for three, with an overall lead of 162 runs.

New batsman Ajinkya Rahane gives Lyon the charge and drives him through the covers for a single to get off the mark.
