Aus 190-6 (98 ovs) & 451 vs India 603-9d | Scorecard

Sunil Gavaskar says he finds it hard to understand why India continuing despite there being no chance of pushing for victory with around 20 minutes left for stumps, which includes 10 minutes for change of ends. He believes India could do with some rest than exert themselves with the next match just five days away.

Matthew Wade clips Ashwin through midwicket for a four as he gets some useful batting practice out in the middle.

The match is not going anywhere as the Indians continue to bowl late on Day 5 with their chances of pushing for victory all but gone.

Virat Kohli still effecting the fielding changes but Handscomb finds the gap through the covers off Jadeja but decides against taking the run.

Strangely, Indians continue to bowl as Wade drives Ashwin through the covers for a four to bring up the 200 for Australia, in the 99th over.

Some pointless cricket going on as India won't take the option of draw. Handscomb plays a nice drive through the covers off Jadeja for a four to take the lead past the 50-run mark.

Even umpire Ian Gould had a word with India captain Kohli, who is adamant that they will continue to bowl.
