Pujara hits half-century to swell India's lead

December 09, 2018 05:21

India 166-3 (66 ovs) & 250 v Aus 235 | Scorecard

Starc drops short as Rahane cuts it past point for a couple and then tries the pull shot two balls later but fails to make proper connection.

Hazlewood sticks to a full line and length in the channel outside the off-stump and Pujara is happy to block out the over.

No surprise as off-spinner Nathan Lyon comes into the attack in place of Starc, after the pacer had bowled just two overs on Day 4.

Rahane comes down the track to the first ball and drives it down to long-off for one.

Pujara cuts the next ball behind point for three runs to complete his half-century from 140 balls, to follow up on his century from the first innings.

Rahane keeps strike with a single from the last ball to long-on.
