22.2 to M Labuschagne, chops on, the leg stump is dislodged! Marnus looks to push at the ball away from his body, but it goes on to hit the base of middle and leg stumps, and leaves him shattered. Shami bowled on a fullish length just outside off - and with the seam up - as the ball darted in, and found the gap between Marnus' bat and pad. Looked like it kept lower than what we thought too, but still, his hands were far from his body. 72/2 70.4 to PSP Handscomb, bowled him! Handscomb pays the price for sitting deep and leg side. Good length, off stump line, he played for some tail in and played the wrong line trying to defend, it beat the outside edge an flattened off stump!. 170/4 | ||||||||||

15.3 to TM Head, finds mid-on! A wicket for India just after drinks. Head looks to keep attacking, but this time ends up gifting a catch low to Jadeja's left. He skips down the pitch to this full and tossed up ball, which is bowled outside off. There is hardly any pace to work with there, as he lofts but off the toe-end of the bat. No timing in that shot, as the slowness of the pitch comes into play. 61/1 130.2 to C Green, caught down the leg side trying to sweep! Good catch. Green sucked into Ashwin's plan to frustrate him. Floated down leg with a lot of protection and the leg slip, he got down on one knee to sweep, a shot he has not played at all, gets a little tickle off the glove and Bharat takes a very good catch having moved well.. 378/5 130.6 to AT Carey, A horror shot! Skews off the outside edge to short third man! Tossed high and wide of off, Carey tries to launch on the up over mid off from the crease, gets a thick outside edge that floats high to short third and Axar strolls around the take the catch. That is not good cricket from Carey.. 378/6 135.3 to MA Starc, gone, tickled to short leg! Ashwin has all three of the wickets to fall today. After bowling short and quicker last delivery, he slowed it down considerably and also went much fuller. It pitched round about off stump, as Starc took a good stride forward to defend, but the ball was angled in from around the wicket. It took the inside edge, and went right in Iyer's lap. 387/7 165.3 to T Murphy, again hits him in front, and this is given leg before after a confident appeal by Ashwin. But as expected, Murphy reviews. Ah, replays show it actually hit his back leg. Ashwin bowled one with a horizontal seam, pitching it on a length just around off stump. And while the replay is shown, Murphy is already halfway back to the dressing room. He had tried to defend but missed, with the ball sneaking in the gap between bat and pad, as he was beaten on the inside edge. The impact is in line, and it is umpire's call on clipping the side of leg stump. So Ashwin has a five-for. 479/9 167.2 to NM Lyon, outside edge, popped to slip off Bharat's pads! Ashwin again bowled with a horizontal seam, pitching it fullish and just around off stump. It straightened after pitching, as Lyon defended but got an outside edge. The ball ballooned to Kohli's right, as he bagged an easy catch to wrap things up. 480/10 | ||||||||||
| 35 | 5 | 89 | 1 | 2.54 | 154 | 9 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
63.4 to SPD Smith, chopped on! Smith can't believe what he's done. Good length, fourth stump line, a nothing delivery, instead of playing with a vertical bat and the full face he tried to poke it square off the back foot with a slightly angled bat, it skidded on and took the inside edge, onto the back pad and onto leg stump.. 151/3 | ||||||||||
| 28 | 8 | 47 | 1 | 1.67 | 136 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | |
146.1 to UT Khawaja, An appeal for lbw given not out. India review. This is straight. He went back on middle to work it square and missed it. It hit the top of the pad. Height the major question. No bat involved. He's very deep in the crease. Ball tracking says Out! Smashing leg! Decision overturned. Khawaja out after 10 hours of batting! One lapse after tea. What an innings but what a bizarre ending. 409/8 | ||||||||||

172.3 to AR Patel, fullish ball, fourth-stump line. Axar offers minimal footwork this time while trying to drive. Plays away from his body, and inside edge rattles into middle stump. The penta-nelson curse works. But Axar goes back with all the fans on their feet. Finishes with 79 in only 113 balls. 555/6 | ||||||||||

78.4 to Shubman Gill, appeal in unison, Gill caught on the back foot, and that's been given out LBW! Full loopy delivery outside off that zipped into him. Gill tried to work it leg-side from deep in his crease, but he brought the bat down late. Umpire raises his finger quickly and Gill reviews after a bit of consideration. Impact in front of off stump and turning into leg. A rare lapse in concentration from Gill, who was also struggling with some hamstring issues/cramps. He's gone, but not before hitting 128. The crowd applauds as he makes his way up the tunnel.. 245/3 136.4 to KS Bharat, caught at short leg! Brilliantly bowled by Lyon. Good length, on off, asking Bharat to defend, he gets it to spin and bounce, Bharat's hard hands produce an inside edge onto pad and it just pops up to Handscomb for a simple catch. 393/5 175.6 to R Ashwin, Ashwin perishes to the slog-sweep. That was tossed up on a length outside off, Ashwin gets down and hits it high but not far enough, ends up picking out Kuhnemann at deep midwicket. 568/7 | ||||||||||
| 25 | 3 | 94 | 1 | 3.76 | 92 | 1 | 4 | 0 | 1 | |
20.6 to RG Sharma, straight to short extra cover! Rohit plays a punchy shot off the back foot, and this has gone straight to Marnus at short extra cover! Ball held up on the surface a tad bit after pitching, and Rohit is out in a soft manner. Full on off and quite innocuous from Kuhnemann.. 74/1 | ||||||||||
| 45.5 | 10 | 113 | 3 | 2.46 | 204 | 11 | 1 | 0 | 0 | |
61.6 to CA Pujara, Given lbw! Pujara reviews. Murphy might have struck. Tossed up on middle, this one bites and spins down the line rather than skidding on and just beats the inside edge. Ball tracking has it pitching on middle, and hitting middle halfway up. Brilliant from Murphy. Finds a way through the modern wall. India lose a review. 187/2 106.6 to RA Jadeja, chipped to mid on! Jadeja got away with the first one but not the second! Identical shot to the previous attempt. 90kph, drifting into middle, he tried to loft down the ground but he chunked off the inside half of the bat and it floats straight to Khawaja at mid on. Easy catch. 309/4 178.5 to V Kohli, Kohli holes out at deep midwicket. That's the end of a magnificent innings from Virat Kohli and with Shreyas Iyer not available, that's it for India's first innings. Murphy tossed it up across the wicket outside off and Kohli went for the slog-sweep. Labuschagne settled under it and took it reverse-cupped. Kohli acknowledges the crowd as he walks out and goes up to the change rooms. 571/9 | ||||||||||

10.4 to MP Kuhnemann, And the finger goes up! Kuhnemann goes to Head to discuss a possible review, but he's been sent back by the more senior cricketer. This was full landing on off and sliding into middle. Kuhnemann defends down the wrong line, ball hits his pad. That's missing leg stump, according to replays! Initially seemed like it was hitting the stumps but the ball slid down too much.. 14/1 | ||||||||||

59.1 to TM Head, gone, clips off stump! This one lands right in the rough just outside the off stump, and turns in to tickle the top of off. Axar invited the drive by pitching it full and outside off, but the rough there meant he got it to turn in as well as bounce, with the ball sneaking in past Head's inside edge after he missed his drive. 153/2 | ||||||||||
