March 18, 2017 14:53

India 314-4 (103 ovs) vs Aus 451 | Scorecard

Hazlewood starts with the ball for Australia after the tea break. There is an appeal for catch down the leg side but the umpire turns it down and Australia decide against taking the DRS.

Lyon from the other end. He beats Nair all ends up with one that turns and bounces and goes past the inside edge, beating even the keeper for four byes.

Nair then plays the reverse sweep for two runs to thirdman before he takes one on the leg side before Pujara picks one to midwicket.

Meanwhile, Hazlewood bowls his second successive maiden over to Pujara, who is content to defend the fast bowler.

Nair's support will be the key for Pujara, who has got his eye and will look to build India's total in the post-tea session.

Nair takes a single to point off Lyon before Pujara gets two runs courtesy of an overthrow after he tries to steal a quick single as India reach 314 for four in 103 overs.
