Aus 149-4 (41 Ovs) & 369 vs India 336 | Scorecard

Change in bowling, Natarajan is here! Green doesn't offer a shot and defends the next. Big appeal for LBW. Umpire not interested. Rahane thinks about it and goes for the review. Replays show the ball was missing the stumps. India lose the review and Green survives. Green goes on to defend the remaining deliveries. Maiden over from Natarajan.

Saini continues, starts with a no ball and Smith takes two quick singles. Smith defends the next. He doesn't offer a shot. Smith now hooks it in the air out to the deep fine leg boundary for four runs. Smith leaves the next two alone. Defends on the front foot. After 40 overs Australia are 144-4. They lead by 177 runs.

Natarajan continues, Green leaves it alone and then steals a single off the next. Smith steps out and pulls it to the boundary for four runs! He defends the rest of the over. Time for lunch.

Australia are 149-4. They lead by 182 runs.

Australia have scores 128 runs in this session and lost four wickets. At one point Warner and Harris were running away with the match from India but it was Thakur and Sundar who once again removed the dangerous Warner and Harris. Wade went for a duck and Marnus Labuschagne also walked back scoring 25 off 22 balls. What a fightback from the Indian bowlers!
