Aus 300-all out (88.3 ovs) vs India | Scorecard


India take the second new ball as Bhuvneshwar Kumar comes back into the attack. The first ball is a beauty, full and swinging away, as Lyon is beaten as he looks to play away from his body.

Two balls later he plays an uppish drive on the leg side but is caught at square leg for 13 as Australia are bowled out for 300.

Good captaincy from Rahane, as it has been for the last two sessions, except in the morning when he let the game drift with Smith and Warner scoring runs at a quick pace.

But India made a good comeback in the post lunch-session led by debutant chinaman spinner Kuldeep Yadav, who took four for 68 in 23 overs.

Umesh Yadav also produced a good showing with the ball to pick up two for 69, while Ashwin, Jadeja and Bhuvneshwar picked up a wicket each.

Steve Smith continued his magical run with the bat against India, hitting his seventh century against them, before he was dismissed for 111.

Earlier, David Warner got back among the runs with a patient innings of 56 before Australia lost a few quick wickets after the lunch interval.

Wade chipped with a useful knock of 57 to ensure Australia touched the 300-run mark before they were bowled out late in the day.
