Ashwin to bowl the final delivery of his unfinished over before the tea break. He switches to over the wicket to Mitchell Starc, who defends it.

Umesh comes back into the attack as Handscomb steers the first ball to thirdman for a single, the first run for Australia after 14 balls. Starc turns the next ball on the leg side for another single to get off the mark.

Ashwin bowling from round the wicket and looking to pitch on and around the off-stump. He gets one to bounce more than expected as Starc is hit on the gloves but there is no one at short leg to take the catch.

However, Ashwin gets his man a few balls later as Starc misses a straight ball which goes on to hit the stumps. Actually the ball bounced a bit more, hit Starc's underarm and ricocheted on to the stumps.

Australia are reduced to 103 for seven, needing 85 runs more for victory.

New batsman Steve O'Keefe defends the last two balls to end another wicket taking over from Ashwin, his third in a row.
