Pujara, Rahane take India's lead past 200

December 09, 2018 06:01

India 197-3 (75 ovs) & 250 v Aus 235 | Scorecard

Pat Cummins comes into the attack as Australia's pacers struggle on the slow Adelaide pitch.

Cummins fails to make an impression either as Rahane and Pujara pick a single each before the pacer bowls a high bouncer and is ruled a wide, in the 71st over.

Rahane has been quite positive with his footwork against spinner Lyon on Day 4. Once again he comes down to the pitch of the ball and drives the spinner straight back past mid-off for three runs before Pujara sees out the rest of the over.

In his next over, Lyon has Rahane caught at short leg before the batsman decides to review it.

Rahane comes down the track and then decides to defend as the ball turns sharply and goes off the pads to short leg. The Snicko and Hot Spot confirm that the ball has clearly missed the bat or gloves as the decision is overturned and Rahane stays on.

This is the third DRS decision that has been overturned against Lyon, twice against Pujara.

A frustrated Lyon then drops short as Rahane pulls it for a four through midwicket to take India's lead past 200.

Three more singles as India reach 191 for three in 74 overs, for an overall lead of 206 runs.

In the next over, Rahane drives Cummins on the up as he smashes it through the covers for a four and then takes one on the off-side to raise the 50-run stand for the fourth wicket from 103 balls.
