Over 7.4 RJ Harris bowls a good length delivery to S Dhawan, BOWLED HIM, Dhawan is stuck in the crease as he looks to drive it to mid on on the up and the ball swings away from over the sticks, takes an inside edge and crashes on to the stumps through the gate.

Over 30.1 MG Johnson bowls a pitched up delivery to M Vijay, CAUGHT BEHIND, Vijay almost was going back to this and he pokes at this outside off and edges it behind to Haddin just what Australia wanted before lunch!

Over 49.3 Nathan Lyon bowls a tossed up delivery to CA Pujara, BOWLED HIM, Pujara plays from within the crease, doesn't fully stretch forward nor does he go back! And this jumping off break hits the thigh and rolls down to hit the stumps!

Over 75.2 Nathan Lyon bowls a flatter trajectory delivery to AM Rahane, CAUGHT, sharp turn and bounce from the rough outside off and Rahane is helpless as the ball kicks up to hit the handle and lobs up to slip.

Over 94.1 MG Johnson bowls a bouncer to V Kohli, CAUGHT, Kohli takes it on and goes through with a hook shot but only gets a top edge flat towards long leg where Ryan Harris dives forward and holds on to a low catch! The Umpires want to check for a noball but Johnson was fine.

Over 107.5 Nathan Lyon bowls a tossed up delivery to RG Sharma, CAUGHT N BOWLED, Rohit steps out for a flick and he is not quite to the pitch of the ball, gets a leading edge which is caught low by the diving Lyon to his right!

Over 110.2 PM Siddle bowls a good length delivery to Karn Sharma, CLEAN BOWLED, no footwork at all from Karn and he plays late and all across this straight one which crashes on to the middle stump through the gate.

Over 113.3 Nathan Lyon bowls a tossed up delivery to WP Saha, CAUGHT, Saha stretches out in defence and this ball turns in from outside off to take an inside edge on to the pad and it lobs up to slip where Watson takes a low catch. Replays are not convincing on whether Saha got any inside edge or not.

Over 113.5 Nathan Lyon bowls a tossed up delivery to I Sharma, CAUGHT, big turn and bounce for Lyon and Ishant gets a bad pad edge in his frontfoot defence which lobs up to the man at shortleg. That is a five-wicket haul for Lyon.

Over 116.4 PM Siddle bowls a good length delivery to Shami Ahmed, CAUGHT, Shami backs away to play a rash slog and this time gets a thick edge to first slip where Watson comes up with a great low catch to his left. Australia finish with a first innings lead of 73 runs.
