India 221-6 (83 ovs) vs Aus 300 | Scorecard


O'Keefe gets one to turn big as Ashwin can only watch it go through to the keeper before he takes a single on the off-side.

Wriddhiman Saha gets off the mark with two runs fine on the leg side as he plays the lap sweep. Two balls later, he looks to repeat the shot but misses the ball and there is a shot for LBW which the umpire turns down. With two balls left for the 80-over mark, Australia take their last remaining DRS review but the ball is bouncing over the stumps and Saha survives.

With the spinners getting a lot of help in the last few overs, it remains to be seen if Australia take the new ball or let the spinners continue with the old ball.

Australia are continuing with the old ball for now. Ashwin looking quite comfortable as he turns Lyon on the leg side for one. Saha comes forward to defend but the ball turns and bounce as it hits him on the thigh pads. He looks to pad the next delivery as he misjudges the length but somehow manages to keep it out with the Aussies appealing for LBW which is rejected with the impact outside the line of off-stump.

Saha attempting the paddle sweep regularly without much success. He looks to try it again but O'Keefe beats him with the full length delivery before he is beaten by one which turns and bounces.

O'Keefe is convinced but umpire Ian Gould is not and the Australians decide to take the DRS. The Ultra Edge shows that there was no edge which Australia lose one of their reviews which was topped up after 80 overs.

Ashwin goes back and across as he looks to turn it on the leg side but is beaten by one which turns sharply from Lyon. The on-field umpire gives it out as Ashwin takes the review after consulting with Saha.

The decision stays with the umpire's call as Ashwin is dismissed for 30 with Lyon bagging his fourth wicket.

The pitch is doing everything at the moment and Lyon is looking as dangerous as anything.

New batsman Ravindra Jadeja gets a virtual unplayable delivery, turn and bounce as it goes past the edge of the bat and even wicketkeeper Wade had problems collecting as it bounces quite steeply. He looks to cut the fifth ball, which is marginally shot, but the extra bounce beats him.
