Aus 328-4 (99 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Umesh tries a bouncer at Maxwell which stays low and the right-hander does well to adjust as he initially looks to pull and then duck before he somehow swats it to deep square leg.

In the next over, Maxwell steers Ishant past the slips for a four through thirdman to take his score into the 90s.

Maxwell getting a bit shaky as he looks to get to his century as soon as possible. He looks to ramp a short ball from Umesh over the slips but is beaten before he steers a wide through to thirdman for two runs. The last ball is short and this time Maxwell manages to get it over the slips for a four to move to 98 and just two runs away from his maiden Test century.

India make a bowling change as Ravindra Jadeja comes in for Ishant. No help at all for the bowlers, not even Jadeja, in his first over of the day as Smith manages to play him cautiously for the first maiden over of the day.

Maxwell goes after a wide delivery from Umesh as he gets the edge which flies to thirdman for a single.

Jadeja beats Maxwell with one that spins away beating the edge of the bat. Infact, Jadeja even went up for appeal for the catch behind but no other players were interested.

Maxwell gets to his maiden Test century in streaky fashion, an edge off Umesh which goes through the slips for a four.
