India 360-6 (130 ovs) vs Aus 451 | Scorecard


Saha runs Hazlewood down to thirdman for a single and Pujara whips the third ball to midwicket for two runs. He then pulls a short ball to fine leg for one to bring up India's 350, in the 126th over.

Saha keeps strike with a single on the off-side from the last ball of the over.

In the next over, Saha and Pujara take a single each off O'Keefe to bring the deficit under the 100-run mark.

Pujara has stood like a rock right through the day, keeping the Australian bowlers at bay for the whole 90 overs.

Australia have tried everything at him but he has been unmoved and produced a timely century to keep his team afloat.

Two overs to go but Saha still in search for runs. He paddle sweeps O'Keefe fine for a four fine on the leg side beating wicketkeeper Wade before he takes a single three balls later.

Hazlewood to bowl the final over of the day. Saha playing for stumps as he defends watchfully, not trying anything fancy to ensure India deny Australia any more wickets.
