OUT! Good use of DRS this by India. Ravindra Jadeja was convinced that Tim Paine has edged it and thus opted for the review. Snickometer picked the edge and thus Paine was given the marching order. T Paine c Pant b Jadeja 1(9)

OUT! Ravi Ashwin has been impressive in this Test series and he continues to pick wickets. Marnus Labuschagne edges it to the first slip. Good catch by Ajinkya Rahane. M Labuschagne c Rahane b Ashwin 28(49)
Ajinkya Rahane is shuffling the bowlers and has used four bowlers thus far. Meanwhile, Matthew Wade is struggling to rotate the strike while Marnus Labuschagne is scoring comparatively in a better way.
Marnus Labuschagne is the new batsman in for Australia. Jasprit Bumrah and Umesh Yadav are bowling well as Australia are under some pressure. Important period this in the Test match with India looking to dent Australia further.
OUT! Poor start for Australia! India start on a positive note. Umesh Yadav has accounted for Joe Burns. The right-hander is caught behind. He opts for DRS as well but all in vain. J Burns c Pant b Umesh Yadav 4(10)
