63.1 Lyon to Tendulkar, OUT, oh Lyon, what a beauty. That's a lovely offspinner's dismissal. They dream of these, and when you do this to Tendulkar in a Test in Chennai, oh boy what a feeling. Tossed up outside off, exactly in that rough, Tendulkar drives away from the body, and it spins sharply through the gate. Reminiscent of the way Vaughan got him. This one might even have taken the inside edge
SR Tendulkar b Lyon 81 (159b 7x4 0x6) SR: 50.94
86.6 Pattinson to Kohli, FOUR, what a way to bring up the hundred. Full, swinging in, nearly a yorker but not quite, and he clips it away square. beats square leg to the right, and long leg to the left. One hand goes up in the air as he realises it is going for four. Then off comes the helmet, and on comes a huge smile on his face. No anger, just the joy. His second century in his last two Tests overall, and also his second in his last two against Australia
89.2 Lyon to Kohli, OUT, yes Lyon is indeed looking forward to it. He has stemmed that flood. Kohli has got carried away a bit. Tis is tossed up, Kohli thinks he can go over mid-on, but it is a little too full, and he is a little too close to the pitch of the ball, and doesn't get the desired elevation. Having said that, he has timed this superbly, and it takes a superb effort from Starc to catch this overhead at mid-on
V Kohli c Starc b Lyon 107 (206b 15x4 1x6) SR: 51.94
106.1 Siddle to Dhoni, FOUR, what a way to bring up the hundred. Skips down the track, adjusts for the late movement, and lofts this over square leg for four. The roof of the stadium comes off. Coolly he accepts the applause. Doesn't even remove his helmet
133.2 Lyon to Dhoni, 2 runs, short, wide, dabbed away past point for a couple that takes the lead past 100
137.1 Lyon to Dhoni, 1 run, reaches the double-century with a push to short third man. That helmet still stays on. That noise in the stadium will be audible at Marina Beach too. This was a risky single, but the throw at BK's end was wide
