- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR15.2 edged, and taken! That's a beauty. Round the wicket gets Warner again. In the channel outside off, straightens on him and it's nicked to the keeper 50/145.5 what a catch! Khawaja falls to the reverse sweep. He nailed this, square into the off side, and KL Rahul flies to his right to hold on one handed. The bit of magic India needed. Khawaja can feel a bit rough with that, but he had luck go his way at times as well. That's 250 wickets for Jadeja 167/522.4 big appeal for lbw! Did this come back enough? They call for the review. Labuschagne was playing forward. Oh, this looks very good. No bat and this is in front of middle and off. Impact in line with off stump and hitting the middle of middle 91/222.6 edged, taken behind! And how the game changes. As we know it can. Pushed across wider outside off, great variation and skill, Smith lunges forward and can only get a thin nick. Neat take from Bharat 91/331.2 edged and taken by Rahul. Good overhead catch at second slip. Back of a length and holds its line outside off from round the stumps. Head throws his hands at the ball, and those are hard hands. The outside edge flies to the left of Rahul, but he adjusts well and grabs the ball over his head 108/446.6 edged, taken at slip! Not much Carey could do about that. Angled in from round the wicket, bounced and straightened, takes the shoulder of that, a fast edge that was well held 168/667.2 Jadeja has Cummins lbw. The Australia captain asks for a review - more out of hope rather than any conviction. This looks quite adjacent. Fuller and sliding in to beat the inside edge and thump the front pad well below the knee-roll in line with middle. Cummins plays around his front pad and misses the ball altogether. The tracker confirms that it would crash into middle stump. Cummins is gone for 33 227/767.6 One brings two for India. Jadeja breaches the weak defences of Murphy. Nice and full, threatens to slide away with the angle from left-arm around but turns back in sharply to bowl him through the gate. Loose drive from Murphy 227/874.2 through him! Classical stuff from Shami. Full and straight, Lyon goes for a big drive and off stump goes for a walk. Bit loose from Lyon after some solid defence 246/978.4 and that's that (this time)...back of a length from round the wicket, spears through Kuhnemann's prod and into the top of leg stump.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR19.2 and he's gone! Lyon with a huge moment. Looked like Rohit misjudged the length. Was playing back to quite a full delivery. This straightened and skidded. Beaten all ends up 53/217.1 huge appeal and given lbw! This one looks good. But Rahul has called the review. Pitched on off stump from round the wicket, straightens nicely. Takes him on the kneeroll. No inside edge. Umpire's call on clipping leg stump. Not stone dead, but enough as it was given on field 46/119.4 full once again from round the stumps, turns back into Pujara to thump the front pad below the knee roll. Lyon roars out an appeal for lbw, this is not given out on the field. Australia have already burnt two reviews this morning. They have one left. They missed that earlier. This this they opt to use it. Was it pad first? Indeed past first before Pujara made contact with the bat. Yes, the tracker returns three reds. It would've hit leg stump. Australia have got their review right. Big blow for India as Pujara falls for a duck in his 100th Test. Lyon is in the middle of a terrific spell 54/349.3 Kuhnemann pins Kohli in front. Umpire Nitin Menon raises his finger. What a moment for the debutant left-arm fingerspinner. Oh, hang on, Kohli has asked for a review, perhaps gesticulating it was missing leg stump. Or has he hit it? Arm ball from Kuhnemann, keeps coming in, Kohli plays for some turn and is struck in front of middle. Ultra Edge detects a spike as the ball is close to bat. This seems tight, very tight. Was it pad first or bat first? Or did it hit both together? Various replays aren't conclusive enough for the on-field out decision to be overturned. TV umpire Illingworth eventually rules Kohli out. The tracker returns umpire's call - just clipping leg stump - and Kohli drags himself off the field. He can't believe it. He had looked so assured and secure in defence but falls six short of a half-century, with India still 128 behind 135/625.2 Caught at short leg. What a grab from Handscomb. Replays indicate he has got a bit lucky here. The ball hits his midriff, forearm and then rolls up. He snatches at the ball and somehow takes a rebound catch, diving to his right. Iyer walks off in utter disbelief. Full-blooded flick from him, but Handscomb clings onto the ball with both hands. No reviews, no problem for Australia 66/446.5 The finger goes up, but Jadeja shakes his head and calls for a review of the on-field out lbw decision. Fullish and sliding in from round the wicket, as opposed to turning away, no inside edge. Jadeja prods forward and misses the ball. Ultra Edge confirms that there's no bat with a flat line. It would've crashed into middle. Murphy strikes for the first time in this Test 125/550.5 top edge, taken at slip! India sliding further. This was outside leg stump, he went for the conventional sweep, comes off the glove, it loops over Carey and Smith tracks back to gather. A five-wicket haul for Lyon 139/781.6 Cummins pulls off a stunning catch. Australia needed something special to dismiss Axar and this is a special catch. Cummins is actually surprised that he has caught it. He moves quickly to his left, dives and grabs the ball over his head. Axar hacks it in the air, but can't clear Cummins at mid-on. The new ball brings two wickets in as many overs for Australia 259/980.2 Cummins strikes with the second-new ball. Caught by Renshaw at square leg. He dives across to his right and snags a sharp catch. This is a fairly loose ball: full and on the pads. Ashwin chips it in the air and departs for 37. Renshaw tests out his knee and helps give Australia the breakthrough they were searching for 253/883.3 Kuhnemann cleans Shami up. Australia squeeze out a one-run lead. Mighty full, almost a yorker-length delivery. Shami swings for the hills, but does not touch it. Kuhnemann rattles the stumps and gets a pat from his captain Cummins 262/10Extras19 (b 8, lb 11)TOTAL262 all out (83.3 Overs, RR: 3.13)Fall of wickets: 1-46 (KL Rahul, 17.1 ov), 2-53 (Rohit Sharma, 19.2 ov), 3-54 (Cheteshwar Pujara, 19.4 ov), 4-66 (Shreyas Iyer, 25.2 ov), 5-125 (Ravindra Jadeja, 46.5 ov), 6-135 (Virat Kohli, 49.3 ov), 7-139 (Srikar Bharat, 50.5 ov), 8-253 (Ravichandran Ashwin, 80.2 ov), 9-259 (Axar Patel, 81.6 ov), 10-262 (Mohammed Shami, 83.3 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.5 He swept the last ball for four. He sweeps this one to Iyer at leg slip. Terrific chest-high catch from Iyer. He anticipates well and reacts swiftly to his left grab this. On a length and outside off, Khawaja can't get it away from the reach of Iyer although he struck it fairly well 23/112.6 edged, caught behind! Ashwin strikes early. Lovely delivery. Grips from around off stump, brings Head forward, shaves the outside edge into the keeper's gloves 65/221.4 got him! Huge moment. This skids through low at the stumps, as in the first Test Labuschagne is caught playing back and has little chance of keeping that out. Takes the toe end 95/418.6 huge appeal and given lbw! This looks good for Ashwin. Smith misses his sweep and calls the review. Only impact can save him. Well, it has turned a lot. Maybe going down leg? Certainly struck in line. Umpire's call on leg stump! 85/322.6 another sweep and another lbw! Another talk between the batters and Renshaw reviews. Looked good live. Hits low down on the front pad. Not bat involved. Did get a good stride in...but it's smashing middle half way up 95/523.1 and another one goes! This is folding fast. Lovely bowling. Full at middle, takes the edge and is snaffled at slip. Very nice ball 95/627.1 Carey continues to trust his sweeps and reverse. These are his go-to shots, but this reverse doesn't come off. Jadeja gets it to bounce over the bat and ping leg stump. Pushed through quicker, no real turn, Carey does not touch the ball. The leg stump is knocked out. Jadeja and India celebrate. Five-wicket haul for Jadeja 110/823.2 Jadeja strikes immediately after the drinks break. Full and sliding in from left-arm around, as opposed to turning away. Low bounce once again. Cummins still goes for a big sweep but misses the ball altogether. The crashes low into the stumps. Australia are seven down and sinking in Delhi 95/729.5 Sixth wicket for Jadeja. Lyon slumps to his knees. Wide on the crease, on a length and angling into off, Lyon swings so very hard that he loses his shape and drags it back onto his own stumps 113/931.1 Jadeja finishes Australia off with a seven-wicket haul. He holds the ball aloft and leads India off the field. No.11 Kuhnemann aims for the reverse-sweep, dares to take it from the stumps, but does not get enough bat on ball. He can only guide it back onto his own stumps 113/10Extras0TOTAL113 all out (31.1 Overs, RR: 3.62)Did not bat: DA WarnerFall of wickets: 1-23 (Usman Khawaja, 5.5 ov), 2-65 (Travis Head, 12.6 ov), 3-85 (Steven Smith, 18.6 ov), 4-95 (Marnus Labuschagne, 21.4 ov), 5-95 (Matt Renshaw, 22.6 ov), 6-95 (Peter Handscomb, 23.1 ov), 7-95 (Pat Cummins, 23.2 ov), 8-110 (Alex Carey, 27.1 ov), 9-113 (Nathan Lyon, 29.5 ov), 10-113 (Matthew Kuhnemann, 31.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.5 darted flatter on middle and leg. There's a horrible mix-up between the wickets on the second run. Rohit is ultimately run-out. This is turned away through midwicket. Rohit stops near the middle of the pitch on the second, but Pujara keeps running towards the non-striker's end. Rohit gives his wicket away. He sacrifices his wicket for Pujara. Are Australia sensing an opening here? 39/21.1 Bizarre play. Unfortunate dismissal for Rahul. He shakes his head and drags himself off the field. It rebounds up off Handscomb's pad at short leg. Carey snaffles it behind the stumps. Pushed through flat and quick on middle and leg, Rahul firmly firmly it away on the back foot but he has to go 6/118.2 Murphy beats Kohli in the air and on the outside edge. Carey gathers the ball and takes the bails off. Kohli advances at Murphy, fullish and pushed across off. Doesn't turn as Murphy darts it away from the reach of the advancing batter. Kohli wafts at it and misses. Carey, though, doesn't miss it. Could this big wicket lead to a cluster of wickets for Australia? And that's drinks as well 69/321.4 Pushed through much quicker by Lyon. Iyer aims to launch it over the midwicket boundary once again, this time he holes out. Drags it to Murphy at deep midwicket. Second wicket in the fourth innings for Lyon. India are still 27 away from victory 88/4Extras0TOTAL118/4 (26.4 Overs, RR: 4.42)Fall of wickets: 1-6 (KL Rahul, 1.1 ov), 2-39 (Rohit Sharma, 6.5 ov), 3-69 (Virat Kohli, 18.2 ov), 4-88 (Shreyas Iyer, 21.4 ov)
