Over 4.1 MG Johnson bangs it short onto the pitch to S Dhawan, CAUGHT, this is angled in towards the rib cage and Dhawan plays a half hearted pull shot, and the ball seems to have taken the bat before getting caught by Haddin down the legside. Umpire Ian Gould lifts his finger to give it out. And unfortunately for India, replays reveal that the ball had missed the bat, the gloves and had hit the shoulder of Dhawan!

Over 19.2 Nathan Lyon bowls a tossed up delivery to CA Pujara, CAUGHT BEHIND, this was the top spinner from Lyon, Pujara comes half forward in defence, playing for the turn which wasn't there just outside off and the ball takes the faintest of nicks to the keeper.

Over 69.1 Nathan Lyon bowls it flat in the air to M Vijay, OUT LBW, Vijay is gone for 99! He went back to flick this with the turn but somehow missed it and the ball stays low to hit the backthigh plumb in front of middle! No complaints, this was dead in front of the stumps! Great knock though more than the 99 what was important is that Vijay had batted out 234 balls!

Over 69.6 Nathan Lyon bowls a tossed up delivery to AM Rahane, CAUGHT, Rahane stretches forward in defence but the ball turns in with bounce to hit the glove and shortleg does the rest! Six wickets to take in 28 overs! Oh no replays show that the ball had only come off the pad!

Over 77.4 Nathan Lyon bowls a tossed up delivery to RG Sharma, CAUGHT, twist in the tale as Rohit lunges forward instead of going back and is forced to glove his frontfoot defence off the jumping off break to leg slip where Warner takes the sharp overhead catch! This will derail Kohli and India again!

Over 79.6 Nathan Lyon bowls a tossed up delivery to WP Saha, CLEAN BOWLED, and there you go, Saha leaves the crease for a needless big shot over mid wicket and he is done in by the big turn and the ball strikes middle! That is Nathan Lyon's maiden 10-wicket haul. His second five-wicket haul of this match. India need 65 runs from 18 overs with just four wickets in hand! Australia on top here!

Over 81.4 Nathan Lyon bowls it flat in the air to V Kohli, CAUGHT, half tracker and Kohli looking to pull this for a six unfortunately doesn't time it well and holes out to Mitchell Marsh at deep mid wicket! This could be the losing moment for India!

Over 84.2 RJ Harris bowls a good length delivery to Shami Ahmed, CAUGHT, Shami what has he done! He has gone for a big shot wonder why and has only mishit it into the hands of Johnson at mid off!

Over 86.1 MG Johnson bowls a pitched up delivery to VR Aaron, OUT LBW, the second new ball has been taken and it is an inswinger which is too quick for Aaron and strikes the pad in front of middle. Thought there was an inside edge but the Umpire lifts his finger! Replays suggest that there could have been an inside edge! No there was no inside edge as Aaron was very late in bringing his bat down.

Over 87.1 Nathan Lyon bowls a tossed up delivery to I Sharma, STUMPED OUT, dumbo Ishant jumps out early to defend and this ball is pitched on middle and turns to beat him down the legside for an easy stumping! Australia win by 48 runs to lead the 4-match Test Series 1-0.
