- BATSMENRB4s6sSR9.1 LBW! Again a long discussion and Short reviews! He tried to sweep, Krunal from around the wicket, it pitched in line, no bat involved. Ball tracking says it was in line, hit in line and was hitting! They lose the review this time. That was plumb. 73/28.3 top edged sweep caught at short fine! Krunal hangs on to this simple chance! This was a leg break on leg stump, he tries to sweep, a bit of extra bounce catches the top edge, it balloons to short fine and straight to Krunal, no chance he could drop that 68/113.1 taken at long-on! Maxwell clears his front leg and tries to launch the ball into orbit. And really, this ball is there to be hit, pitched short of a length and not even pretending as if it'd turn. The batsman makes room, hits as hard as he can, but he can't clear the straight field. Simple catch to Rohit, who makes up for the earlier drop 90/49.2 LBW! Given out sweeping! He's on a hat-trick! First ball sweep shot, this was tossed up outside off from around the wicket, pitches outside, he tries to sweep, it slides on and hits the back leg, and Gerard Abood says it hit in line with off! 73/315.5 finds deep midwicket! It's the tossed up delivery. It's on middle. It's there for the sweep shot and Carey's been timing them like nobody's business. Except here, as well as he hits it, he can only find Kohli on the boundary 119/517.2 mix-up, direct hit, Lynn's gone. Oooh, this is silly, silly stuff. Stoinis starts it all by dabbing the ball gently towards point and wants a single. Lynn isn't keen on it at first but then just as he commits to it, Stoinis is haring back into his crease, leaving him no choice but to race back to the bowler's end. But Bumrah is on the balll, he takes aim and he throws down the stumps.

- BATSMENRB4s6sSR6.5 bowled him! This was fired in at 91kph, good length, Sharma played back and tried to work against the line through square leg, it skidded on off the surface, hurried him, inside edge onto pad and then onto the stumps! 67/25.3 full and straight, 145kph, into middle, did it hit pad before bat? Umpire says not out to the shout. Australia review. It was tailing in, definitely hit pad first. Ball tracking says it's hitting leg stump! Out LBW!. Great review from Finch. Great work from Starc 67/112.6 caught at long-off! He's been trying to dominate the spinners, trying to put them off their lengths by charging at them, or reverse sweeping them. But it never looked like coming off. And this time, he's even found the fielder. A trip down the pitch and a desperate slash is taken very very easily by Coulter-Nile 108/313.1 caught behind! This is poor. He needs pace to play a shot like this - the pull to the fine leg boundary - but that's the one thing Tye denies. The slower bouncer outside leg stump sneaks up on Pant, rising up at him, lobbing up off his glove and settling in Carey's waiting hands. Australia, without anyone noticing, are getting on a bit of a roll 108/4Extras7 (lb 1, w 6)TOTAL168/4 (19.4 Overs, RR: 8.54)Fall of wickets: 1-67 (Shikhar Dhawan, 5.3 ov), 2-67 (Rohit Sharma, 6.5 ov), 3-108 (KL Rahul, 12.6 ov), 4-108 (Rishabh Pant, 13.1 ov)
