India 112-3 (35 ovs) & 189 vs
Aus 276 | Scorecard


Change of ends for O'Keefe as he replaces Lyon and bowls for the first time from the Pavilion End.

Pujara takes a single from the first ball before Kohli clips the third ball square on the leg side and forces Pujara to come back for the second. He then drives the next ball straight down the ground to long-off for a single.

Hazlewood gets Kohli as he given out LBW with the India captain immediately asks for the DRS.

The ball stays low and seems to have brushed the bottom of Kohli's bat before it hit the pads and he could escape with the benefit of doubt.

But the third umpire stays with the on-field umpire's call which means Kohli fails for the fourth successive time in the series. The third umpire says there is no conclusive evidence to suggest the ball hit the bat before it struck the pads so he stays with the on-field umpire's call.

This is a big blow for India's hopes as Kohli walks back for 15 with India reduced to 112 for three, with a lead of just 25 runs.

Kohli is visibly disappointed and he is still seething with anger in the Indian dressing room.

India take a gamble as Ravindra Jadeja is sent in at No. 5 ahead of Ajinkya Rahane and Karun Nair.

Hazlewood gets another one to stay low as Jadeja is struck on the pads but this time the umpire doesn't give it out with the ball slipping down the leg side.
