India bowled out
And India are bowled out for 160 as Siraj falls in an attempt to slog Lyon. Australia need 76 runs to win and these are not many. India were better than the previous innings but were again outdone by Lyon and some assistance from the surface. Cheteshwar Pujara and Shreyas Iyer inspired a fightback and the former held one end strongly as the wickets kept tumbling. But Pujara was done by a brilliant catch from Smith and then India were quickly wrapped up. Nathan Lyon shined as he took his second-best career figures as he finished on 8/64. So Australia need 76 tomorrow as it is stumps on Day 2. Australia very much on top and India need some magic here. So, we will now meet you on Day 3 as I Varun Malik along with Jishu Bhattacharya sign off for today.

Pujara the Saviour!
Pujara is leading India well along with Axar Patel. Possibly the message was to counter attack on a few ocassions as Pujara hit Lyon to a six after that. Pujara is brilliant in second innings.
Pujara's numbers in 2nd innings vs Australia:
72 runs in 2010 in Bengaluru
82* in 2013 in New Delhi
92 in 2017 in Bengaluru
71 in 2018 in Adelaide
77 in 2021 in Sydney
56 in 2021 in Brisbane
59* (ongoing) in 2023 in Indore

Rohit sends message to batters
Rohit Sharma has sent some message to the batters on the field- Pujara and Axar through Ishan Kishan. Was it to play a bit more expressive cricket?

Lyon sends Ashwin back, grabs fifer
Nathan Lyon has found the breakthrough, a timely one rather for Australia. This was a brilliant review. Pitched around fuller and turned in as it hit the bat with Ashwin's bat staying back. Umpire gave it not out but a review showed three reds as Ashwin walks back.

Lyon and Kuhnemann suffocate India
That is some turn on this wicket that the Aussie bowlers are generating. Three slips, forward square leg, silly point, silly mid off, you have it all. India are currently tangled but they'll have to be patientb and not give Australia any more wickets

India trail by 75
India have started with a pretty positive intent. Rohit and Shubman have looked solid and they need to stitch a solid partnership. Australia will bat in the 4th innings and things will be difficult for them. All India need to do is play cautiously and keep the scoreboard ticking

Ashwin introduced in the attack
India are in deep trouble. Slowly and steadily Handscomb and Green are building a solid partnership and extending Australia's lead. Considering how the pitch is, wickets are the only thing that will keep India alive in the contest

Handscomb survives
Jadeja bowls a beauty of a delivery to Peter Handscomb. The Aussies plays a front foot defence and the ball beats his outside edge. Bharat appeals but handscomb is safe as of now. India do not have any DRS left.
