India 206-7 (79 ovs) vs Aus | Scorecard

Lyon has a huge appeal for leg before turned down as Pujara takes a huge stride forward and looks to defend but is hit on the pads.

Australia take the review against Ishant Sharma for a catch down the leg side but there is no edge.

Pujara drives Cummins down the ground past mid-on for two runs before he defends the rest of the over to take his score to 75, having played exactly 200 balls so far, which is nearly 33 overs out of 76 overs sent down so far on Day 1.

Ishant goes after Lyon as he sweeps the spinner uppishly through square leg for a four.

Pujara turns down the single off the first ball as he drives a full wide delivery from Cummins to sweeper cover, to keep Ishant away from the fast bowler. He drives the fifth ball past the cover fielder for three runs, giving Ishant the strike for only the last ball which he does by ducking under a bouncer.

Pujara gives Lyon the charge as the inside edge which goes fine for two runs and he clips the next ball to deep square leg for another couple as India go past the 200-run mark, in the 79th over.

Lyon drops short again and wide as Pujara cuts it past point for two runs and keeps strike with one from the last ball.
