Bumrah back into the attack as Akash Deep gets a break. He is on the mark first ball as he beats Labuschagne with a beauty as the right-hander pokes and misses.

Labuschagne hits the next past mid-off for a couple of runs before he is hit on the pads by some late away movement which opens him up completely.

The fourth ball is full and swings into Labuschagne, who misses the flick and survives the huge shout for leg before. The ball is clearly going down as India avoid taking the review.

Siraj hitting the right areas. The full delivery lures Khawaja into the cover drive but the away movement sees the ball going past the edge.

Bumrah has been creating a lot of problems for Labuschagne right through the series. Once again the incoming delivery beats him on the inside edge and strikes him on the pads.

Michael Gough rules it not out before India decide to take the review.

The ball is clipping the top of leg stump which means the decision stays with umpire's call as Labuschagne has a narrow escape.

The next ball swings away as the Australia No 3 plays and misses outside the off-stump this time.

Another full incoming delivery as Labuschagne gets his bat down in time to block it.

Bumrah drifts on the pads as the right-hander flicks it through midwicket for two runs.
