India 191-4 (62 ovs) & 189 vs
Aus 276 | Scorecard


Rahane feeling a lot more confident now as he hits a nice drive through the off-side but Warner in the covers does well to stop it. Three balls later he punches a wide delivery through point where the fielder half stops it to keep it down to two.

Pujara picks a single off Lyon before Rahane plays the sweep and picks up two runs. The last ball just kicks up from one of the cracks as Rahane lets it go and Warner at leg slip dives to stop the byes.

Spin from both ends as O'Keefe comes into the attack. Pujara glances the first ball fine on the leg side for three runs before Rahane defends the rest of the over.

In the next over, Pujara turns Lyon past leg slip as Hazlewood comes up with the slide but his boundary is touching the ropes which means India get the boundary.

India are 191 for four in 62 overs, taking their lead above the 100-run mark, which means they are effectively 100 for four.

A superb comeback from the Indians as they make a strong comeback with the bat after three successive failures in the series so far.
