    IND 400 (139.3)

  • 11:14 (IST)

    India vs Australia Live: SIX!

    Flight on offer from Todd Murphy. Axar Patel dances down the track and hits it over long-on for a six. He is making the batting look so easy…. Believe me, it is not! The track is having some good turn but Axar has settled himself so well that barely any delivery is troubling him. He is into the 80s now.

    IND 397/9 (136.4)

  • 11:08 (IST)

    India vs Australia Live: FOUR!

    An inside out shot from Axar Patel on the bowling of Todd Murphy for a four. With the hit, the Indian batter is now not out at 76. Can he get to the triple digit score from here? Well, a lot depends on Mohammed Siraj – the batter at the non-striker end.

  • 10:08 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: Catch dropped!

  • 09:57 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: FOUR!

    That’s a good shot from Mohammed Shami for a four. He got on the backfoot and cut the ball away for the boundary. These runs will definitely hurt Australia as they aim to clean up the Indian tail as early as possible.

    IND vs AUS Live: Stumps on Day 2!

    That’s the stumps on Day 2. What a day it has been for India! They lost six wickets but have still managed to take a 144-run lead over the guests.

  • 16:48 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: Fifty for Axar Patel!

    A single and Axar Patel races to his second Test fifty. After proving his mettle with the bat in the white-ball cricket, Axar is just showing how good he is with his technique also in the red-ball game. The middle-order failed to rise up to the occasion but the Indian tail is literally frustrating Australia.

    IND 314/7 (110.4)

  • 16:46 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: Play resumes!

    The play has resumed…

  • 16:45 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: Small stoppage in play!

    IND 312/7 (110)

  • 16:21 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: FOUR!

    A four from the willow of Axar Patel. It was a short ball from Pat Cummins and Axar guided it towards the third man fence for a four. He might not have intended to play it so fine as it eventually went, but the resulting four will definitely hurt Australia. 

    IND 296/7 (103.5)

  • 16:12 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: FOUR!

    A fuller ball from Pat Cummins and Axar Patel drives it for a four straight down the ground. The partnership between Axar and Cummins for the eighth wicket is now of 52 now. This is a really worrying sign for Australia, who had made a good comeback earlier. 

    IND 292/7 (101.3)

  • 16:04 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: FOUR!

    A short ball from Nathan Lyon on the off side and Axar Patel hits it square of the wicket for a four. The fielder in deep gave a jump but it went in vain as the ball comfortably won the race.

  • 15:56 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: FOUR!

  • 15:51 (IST)

    IND 261/7 (94.5)

  • 15:32 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: Fifty for Ravindra Jadeja!

    A single and it’s the 18th Test fifty for Ravindra Jadeja. He started this game with a five-wicket haul and now scores a fifty to prove his mettle as an all-rounder. What a comeback to international cricket this has been for Jadeja so far!

    IND 257/7 (92.4)

  • 15:24 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: Catch falls short!

    Axar Patel got outside edge on a delivery of Scott Boland but to his good luck the ball fell in front of second slip where Steve Smith was stationed. The Australian bowlers have done a decent job with the second new ball but they still need three wickets to bundled India out.  

    IND 251/7 (90.3)

  • 15:01 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: Lucky Jadeja!

    Ravindra Jadeja is lucky once again in his ongoing innings. A Pat Cummins delivery hit him on the front pad but umpire turned down the appeal of the Australian players.

    IND 246/7 (84.2)

  • 14:57 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: FOUR!

    IND 240/7 (83.1)

  • 14:46 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: FOUR!

    Wow! Look at that shot from KS Bharat. Australia were trying to cramp him for room but the batter went for a slog sweep on the bowling of Todd Murphy to fetch a boundary. This will boost his confidence. Not a bad start for Bharat!

    IND 236/6 (81.5)

  • 14:38 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: WICKET!

    Rohit Sharma is gone! It was a peach of a delivery from Pat Cummins that helped Australia get rid of the Indian skipper. It was bowled around middle stump on a good length from Cummins, the ball swung outside after pitching and hit the off stump of Rohit, who departs for a score of 120.

    IND 229/6 (80.4)

  • 14:34 (IST)

  • 14:07 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: Close call!

    Todd Murphy was just inches away from completing a maiden five-wicket haul but sadly, not at the moment. The ball crashed into Ravindra Jadeja’s pads but the replay showed clearly that the impact was slightly outside the off stump. Close call but Jadeja is save for now!

    IND vs AUS Live: A test of Suryakumar Yadav!

    IND 163/4 (57)

  • 12:15 (IST)

    IND vs AUS Live: WICKET!
