O'Keefe looking to bowl a tight line but the Indian batsmen are able to milk him around for singles as they pick three runs off his fifth over.

Cummins comes back into the attack and immediately makes an impact. He gets Pujara to edge the first ball but it falls short of the fielder at first slip as they get a single.

Rahul plays a risky drive through the covers, it was in the air for some time but falls short of the fielder. Cummins tries the short ball at the body which Rahul fends on the leg side but wide of the fielder at short fine leg.

The last ball slips down the leg side as Pujara misses the glance but still gets four leg byes as India reach 107 for one in 39 overs, trailing Australia by 193 runs.
