Aus 157-8 (59 ovs) & 474 vs Ind 369 | Scorecard

Jadeja boosting India's over rate with a quick over, giving away two singles in his eighth over.

In the next over, Starc smashes Siraj straight back as Reddy at mid-off dives to his left and comes up with a fantastic stop to save some runs.

Siraj tries the bouncer as Cummins ducks under it before he drives the last ball through the covers for two runs.

Bumrah comes back into the attack and Australia lose another wicket. This time it is not Bumrah, who strikes, but Starc is run out after a huge misunderstanding with his captain.

Starc had clipped Bumrah to square leg and wanted the second but Cummins was never interested. He only wanted a single as Starc came charging back hut had to rush back halfway down.

Rohit threw the ball back to Pant, who got his gloves off and hit the stumps at the non-striker's end with a direct hit.

Australia down to 156/8, for an overall lead of 261 runs.

Cummins will look to not only farm the strike but also get some runs to take Australia's lead close to 300.

Cummins clips Bumrah's fourth ball in the big gap at midwicket but doesn't take the single.

A peach from Bumrah as the full delivery swings a long way into him, beating the inside edge and bouncing over the stumps. But the fast bowler has overstepped for a no-ball and an extra run for Australia.
