AUS vs IND Live Cricket Score

2.1 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Mitchell Starc gives Australia early success as he has so often done! The debutant, Nathan McSweeney is into the action early. Starc serves it full and around the off-stump line, Yashasvi Jaiswal gets himself on the front foot and jabs at the delivery with hard hands as he looks to play it back past the bowler. The ball moves away off the deck enough to catch the outside edge and it goes low towards gully. Nathan McSweeney stays low there and takes it safely near his stomach. Yashasvi Jaiswal walks to the pavilion without troubling the scorers and India are 5/1, rocked early.  5/1

22.2 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Mitchell Starc gets his second wicket and India are four down now. An appeal for caught behind but the umpire is unmoved. The Aussies have already started celebrating but no reaction from the umpire there. A review has been taken straight away. Starc hits the hard length, on off and gets it to deviate a bit away from the right-hander. KL Rahul takes a half stride forward and tries to meet the ball under the nose. He though plays inside the line as the ball nips away. It passes close to the bat and Alex Carey, the keeper does the rest. UltraEdge comes up and shows a sharp spike when the ball passes the bat. KL's bat also comes in contact with his front pad right after but the umpire deems that it contacted the ball first. Hence, it is given OUT! KL Rahul is not happy with the decision as he thinks that it hit his flap of the pad first. KL who looked well-settled departs now, on 26 (74) with less than ten minutes to Lunch.  47/4

11 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Change of ends works wonders for Hazlewood! He puts an end to Devdutt Padikkal's struggles. This is angled across the batter from over the wicket, in and around the off-stump line, fuller in length, Devdutt Padikkal gets on the front foot tentatively and just keeps his bat out there with no real conviction in his defence. The ball leaves him and catches the outside edge. The keeper, Alex Carey does the rest to his left. A 23-ball duck for Padikkal. India are 14/2 after 11 overs.  14/2

16.2 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Hoff provides a massive, massive scalp for the hosts. The Aussies are all pumped up as they see the back of Virat. Josh Hazlewood steams in from over the stumps and bashes the hard length around off. It lands, takes off from the deck and takes Kohli by surprise. Virat Kohli is undone by that excessive bounce and just hops on the back foot, trying to keep his bat away from the line of the ball. But he ends up getting a thick healthy outside edge which flies straight to Usman Khawaja at the first slip. He does the rest, and takes a regulation slip catch to dismiss Kohli on 5. India are 3 down now and in heaps of trouble in this West Test.  32/3

45.5 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Pat Cummins has had a bit of a torrid time with the ball so far but he gets probably the biggest wicket of this innings. Cummins keeps pitching the ball up but this time he brings the line a bit straighter and gets some lateral movement away from the left-hander thanks to the scrambled seam. Rishabh Pant gets squared up as he looks to flick against the angle and gets an outside edge that flies towards Steven Smith at second slip. Smith takes a fine catch with both hands right around his face and Pant's resistance has come to an end. He departs for 37 (78) and India now 121/7!  121/7

27.5 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! 'The Bison' strikes on his home ground and he is pumped up! Almost an action replay of the previous delivery, it's just that this one has a bit more zip on it, a real effort ball from Mitchell Marsh. Dhruv Jurel is caught back on the crease and is forced to play at it but gets an outside edge that goes quickly towards third slip. Marnus Labuschagne there takes a sharp catch just low to his left and Jurel's positive start has been cut short. He departs on 11 (20) and India are reeling at 59/5!  59/5

31.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Another one bites the dust as Mitchell Marsh picks up his second wicket and he is in a joyous mood out there. Marsh bowls this one into the pitch and on a tight line over off and middle, this one pitches and just nibbles away from the left-hander. Washington Sundar gets pushed back and awkwardly looks to fend it away but ends up gloving it to the left of Alex Carey behind the stumps and he makes no mistake.  73/6

49.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Well, that's one way to make up for the earlier dropped catch. Pat Cummins hurls in yet another short-pitched delivery and angles it in from around middle. Nitish Kumar Reddy hangs back and looks to take it on but the ball gets big on him and the pull is miscued over the mid-wicket region. Usman Khawaja runs back and puts in a big slide to grab a fine catch and Reddy's fine debut knock comes to an end on 41. Cummins finishes with a couple of wickets as well and India are bundled out for 150.  150/10

46.4 OUT! CAUGHT! How has he pulled that one off? Marnus Labuschagne with a peach of a catch and what an assist from Nathan McSweeney as well, unbelievable. Josh Hazlewood bowls it just back of a length and keeps the line around off, just nibbling away as well. Harshit Rana stays back and jars at it with hard hands, edging it down in between second and third slip. It is McSweeney who springs down to his left and the ball pops out of the palm but Labuschagne shows impeccable reactions to sweep in and stick out his right hand to complete the catch. India 128/8 and in dire straits as the Hoff has three wickets.  128/8

49 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Josh Hazlewood dangles the carrot at Jasprit Bumrah and he takes the bait. Hoff floats it full and a bit wide outside off, shaping it away as well. Bumrah keeps hanging back and looks to drive away from the body and ends up nicking it behind to the keeper. Alex Carey dives to his right and gobbles it up as Australia are now a wicket away from bundling out India.  144/9

6.4 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Jasprit Bumrah leading from the front and it's game on here in Perth! Bumrah is a master of using that around-the-wicket angle to the left-hander and now, both Australian openers are back in the hut. The length is just pulled back this time as the ball is angled in towards middle and off. Usman Khawaja gets pushed back looking to defend but the ball seams away after pitching and the outside edge is found. The ball goes straight into the bread basket of Virat Kohli at second slip who makes no mistake this time and Australia are 19/2!  19/2

2.3 OUT! LBW! A prolonged appeal for LBW but the umpire says no. Seemed like two noises there but the Indians gather together and opt for the review driven mostly by Virat Kohli. Nagging length from Jasprit Bumrah pitched up around off and this one just darts back in off the deck. Nathan McSweeney looks to block off the front foot but the ball beats the inside edge to rap him on the pads. The third umpire has a look and there's nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking comes up with three reds. Bumrah and India have their first as McSweeney departs cheaply on debut, top review.  14/1

21 OUT! LBW! This looks dead straight! Marnus Labuschagne has taken the review. Does he think it is going down leg or did he get some bat on it? This is pitched up by Siraj from over the wicket, angling in, on off and middle, Marnus Labuschagne walks across to work it away off his pads. A risky ploy to walk across the stumps. He fails to make any contact as his head falls over to the off side slightly. Gets beaten on the inside edge and is trapped right in front of the stumps. The UltraEdge shows no bat and the Ball Tracking shows the ball to be hitting the leg stump. Australia lose Marnus as well as the review. Australia are now 47/6, trailing by 103 runs.  47/6

6.5 OUT! LBW! Jasprit Bumrah is on a roll and what a call by the on-air commentator as well. Mark Nicholas on air just mentioned that if Bumrah can get that inswinger going to Steven Smith then he is a big candidate for LBW and on the first ball that Smith faces, Bumrah delivers that exact same delivery. Bumrah goes wider on the crease and darts in a full ball towards middle and leg, Steven Smith gets across to the off side but is caught on the crease and gets pinged right in front of the stumps. No need to review and Bumrah is on a hat-trick as Australia slip further.  19/3

11.1 OUT! BOWLED'EM! KNOCKED HIM OVER! What a moment for Harshit Rana as he gets the dangerous Travis Head as his first Test wicket. He is all pumped up and rightly so! Australia have now been reduced to 31/4. Coming to the delivery, Harshit steams in from around the stumps and bowls a fuller-length delivery, angling on the off-stump line. It lands and skids quickly off the surface. Travis Head is undone by the excessive pace off the surface and gets a bit late to bring his bat down in time to block it out. The ball nips a bit off the deck and beats the edge before clattering the off-pole. Travis Head departs on 11.  31/4

16.5 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Siraj gets in on the act now! Good low take by Rahul!  Siraj pulls the length back as he bends his back and hits the deck hard, on a shortish length, on off. Marsh gets on his toes to ride the bounce and defend it out with a straight bat. The outside edge is found and it goes low towards the slip cordon as Marsh tries to take one hand off the bat. It goes low to the left of third slip where Rahul stays low and dives to his left to take the catch. India start to celebrate but Marsh is asked to wait as the third umpire is called into action to check for a fair catch. The third umpire looks at a couple of angles and then deems that Rahul had his fingers clearly underneath the ball. Australia have now lost half their side with just 38 on the board and trailing by 112 runs.  38/5

28.1 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Jasprit Bumrah comes and strikes with his very first delivery! Also, completes his 5-fer. Leading from the front is the Indian skipper here. Jasprit Bumrah steams in from around the stumps and lands it on that in-between length, around off. It skids through the surface and gets the ball to zip and nip away from the left-hander. Alex Carey gets a bit squared up and just hangs his bat away from the body with no foot movement at all. Gets a thick outside edge that flies behind the stumps and Rishabh Pant does the rest by taking a regulation catch to his left. Australia are 8 down now, trailing by 80 runs.  70/8

24.2 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! The Indian skipper gets rid of his counterpart! Bumrah slips in a full delivery, on off, Cummins stays leg side of the ball and jabs at the delivery as he looks to go through the off side. He does not move his feet and the ball moves away off the deck, enough to catch the outside edge and it goes to the right of the keeper, Rishabh Pant who makes no mistake. Australia are now 59/7, trailing by 91 runs.  59/7

51.2 OUT! IN THE AIR...RISHABH PANT TAKES IT THIS TIME! Harshit Rana finally ends this frustrating 10th-wicket partnership and claims his third wicket. Rana steams in from around the stumps and hones in a fractionally fuller-length delivery, attacking the stumps. Mitchell Starc gets his front foot out of the way and creates room for himself. Goes for a big heave across but only manages to get a top edge. Skies it behind the wickets and swirls over the slip cordon. Virat Kohli prepares himself for the catch but it is Rishabh Pant who calls for his catch, locks his eyes on the ball, settles under it and takes it safely. India have bowled Australia out for 104 to gain a handy lead of 46 runs!  104/10

33.2 OUT! TAKEN! Harshit Rana gets his second wicket and is all pumped up! Harshit steams from over the stumps and corrects his line of attack, on the bodyline. Bowls a sharp bouncer and cramps Lyon for room. Nathan Lyon just tries to get away from the line but it lands and skids and arrives too quickly. Lyon fails to drop his wrists and get his bat away from the line of the ball in time. Hence, gloves it and the ball lobs towards the slip cordon. KL Rahul moves forward from the third slip and grabs it safely. Australia are 9 down now, trailing by 71 runs.  79/9

93.5 OUT! TAKEN! Jaiswal cannot believe and stands still in absolute disbelief! India 3 down now. Mitchell Marsh bowls it around off, offering some width, there to be hit, on a good length. Yashasvi Jaiswal transfers the weight on the back foot and executes the square cut, but he fails to keep it along the ground and ends up hitting hard and flat, and straight to Steven Smith stationed at backward point. He doesn't have to move an inch and takes a good sharp catch at waist height. Yashasvi Jaiswal departs on 161 (297) and has a slow walk towards the dressing room, with the crowd rising in applause for the young left-hander. India are 313/3, leading by 359 runs.  313/3

63 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Mitchell Starc breaks through! Finally, an edge goes to hand for Australia. Starc angles it in from around the wicket, on a length, around off, Rahul is forced to play at it due to the angle as he presents a straight bat to defend. The ball straightens enough to catch the feather of an outside edge and it goes low towards the keeper. Alex Carey stays low and gets his gloves cleanly underneath the ball to complete a safe catch. Muted celebrations from the hosts and understandably so. The 201-run opening partnership off 383 balls is broken now. Rahul goes for 77 (176). India are 201/1, leading by 247 runs.  201/1

84.1 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Josh Hazlewood strikes on the very first delivery after Lunch. However, the decision has been sent upstairs by the two on-field umpires for a fair catch check. Coming to the delivery, Josh Hazlewood charges in from around the stumps and lands it on a good length, angling on the off-stump, Devdutt Padikkal prods forward on the front foot to block it out. But the ball nips a shade away from the left-hander and hence, a healthy outside edge is found. The ball goes flat and low towards the second slip where Steven Smith stays low and takes a sharp catch to his left, just above the grass. Padikkal falls for 25 (71). India are 275/2, leading by 321 runs.  275/2

95.1 OUT! STUMPED! An inspired bowling change from Pat Cummins! Lyon strikes with his first delivery! Pant skips down the track on the very first ball and Lyon expected him to do so. Begins from around the wicket and spots Pant coming down the track. Pushes it through, flat and short, away from the batter's reach. Pant is a long way down the track and is made to reach out but fails to get any bat on it. He loses his balance as he tries to get back in. The keeper, Alex Carey moves to his left to snaffle it and does the rest to catch Pant well out of his crease. Pant goes for 1 (4). India slip down to 320/4, leading by 366 runs.  320/4

96.3 OUT! LBW! Kept a little low and this looks dead straight! Jurel has a word with Kohli before taking the review. Cummins zones it in at the stumps, on a good length, on middle and leg, Jurel fails to glance it away. Gets beaten on the inside edge and the ball hits him on the knee roll of the front pad. The front on replay suggests that it is not as straight as it initially looked and it could slip down leg. No bat involved and the Ball Tracking shows that the ball would have clipped the leg stump. It is the umpire's call and Jurel will depart. From 313/2, India have slipped to 321/5, losing 3 wickets for 8 runs. They currently lead by 367 runs.  321/5

125.5 OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! Lyon has his second wicket! Sundar goes for a big shot but it does not quite come off for him. Lyon slows it down and entices the batter into the big shot and he also pulls the length back, at the stumps, Sundar reaches out in front for a swipe across the line. Gets done in the flight and swings too early. Connects with thin air as the ball goes behind to clip the top of the middle stump. Sundar falls for 29 (94). India are now 410/6, leading by 456 runs.  410/6

0.4 OUT! LBW! TRAPPED IN FRONT! A huge appeal for LBW, and given out instantly! Jasprit Bumrah strikes in his very first over. He steams in from over the stumps, bowls it from wide of the crease and angles it into the batter. On a length, on the stumps. This one lands and stays low on the bounce and skids through quickly off the surface. Nathan McSweeney is caught off-guard due to the low bounce and brings his bat ahead but the ball sneaks under the bat ping him on the front pad. Nathan McSweeney has a brief chat with Khawaja and keeps walking as it is plumb in front. McSweeney walks off the field without troubling the scorers.  0/1

5.3 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Siraj strikes in his first over of the day! Not too short from Siraj, from around the stumps, angling just around off, Usman Khawaja weighs on the back foot and tries to execute the pull shot to go aerially on the leg side, but the ball climbs onto him a bit and he fails to ride the bounce. It goes off the top edge that goes in the air, behind to the right of the wicket-keeper. Rishabh Pant backtracks it for a few yards and takes a good running catch. Usman Khawaja departs on 4 and Australia are 17/4 now.  17/4

3.1 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Australia's nightwatchman project does no good as Cummins makes his way to the dugout now. Siraj pitches it right in front of the off-stump, gets it to nip away a tad bit off the deck. Pat Cummins looks to defend but fails to read the deviation and hence a healthy outside edge is found. It goes off the bat, flat and low towards the second slip where Virat Kohli bends low on his knees and takes a sharp catch to his left. Australia are reeling at 9/2.  9/2

4.2 OUT! LBW! A huge confident appeal for LBW and Chris Gaffaney raises his finger! Indian players are celebrating but Marnus Labuschagne opts for a review after chatting with Usman Khawaja. Coming to the delivery, Jasprit Bumrah uses the angle and bowls it from a bit wide of the crease, angling into the right-hander. It lands and stays a tad bit low on the bounce and skids through very quickly off the deck. Marnus Labuschagne misjudges the nip-backer and tries to leave it by hanging his bat in the air. Gets pinged right on his front pad. Ball Tracking comes up and shows three reds. The impact does not matter as no shot was offered by Labuschagne. The projection then shows that the ball could have smashed the top of the off stump. OUT it is and Australia slip further on 12/3. And with that, it is STUMPS ON DAY 3!  12/3

24.4 OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! The change of bowling has worked for India! A massive blow to Australia. Stays over the wicket does Siraj and angles it in, on a nagging length, on off, Smith stays in the crease and lets the ball come to him. He is forced to play at it due to the angle. Presents a straight bat to keep it out but the ball straightens off the deck to catch the outside edge. It goes behind to the right of Rishabh Pant who puts the dive and snaffles it. He holds on even as his elbow hits the turf. Smith falls for 17 (60). Australia are now 79/5.  79/5

38.5 OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Jasprit Bumrah strikes gold on his return to the attack. Travis Head, India's nemesis in recent times, departs for a well-made 89. After a bumper on the previous ball, Bumrah bowls this one on a back of a length, in the channel on off, Head does not move his feet again and just pokes at the delivery with his hands. The outside edge is found and the keeper, Rishabh Pant does the rest. Bumrah roars in delight as does Kohli. The 82-run stand off just 87 deliveries is now broken. Australia are now 161/6.  161/6

43.4 OUT! DRAGGED ON! Maiden Test wicket for Nitish! He strikes and sends the dangerous Mitchell Marsh packing! Nitish Kumar Reddy steams in from over the stumps and gets a bit of tail back into the batter, around off, Mitchell Marsh covers the stumps and weighs on the back foot to execute the back foot punch through the off side, but gets deceived by the ball staying low. Goes through the shot with an angled bat and gets a thick bottom edge which disturbs the furniture. Mitchell Marsh departs on a well-made 47 (67) and India are just 3 wickets away from a famous win now.  182/7

58.4 OUT! BOWLED'EM! INDIA WIN A FAMOUS TEST IN PERTH! A victory which will be remembered for a long, long time! Harshit Rana stays around the stumps and serves the slower ball at 109.9 kph that lands on a fuller length at off, Alex Carey is stuck inside the crease and goes through to push it to the off-side, anticipating the ball to come quicker at him. He ends up playing inside the line and goes through the shot a bit early. The ball flirts past the outside edge to clatter into the sticks. India halt Australia's unbeaten winning streak at the Optus Stadium in Perth. Also, this is the largest win for the tourists in terms of the run margin in Australia.  238/10

53.4 OUT! TAKEN! What a sharp catch by Dhruv Jurel at short leg! Washington Sundar stays around the stumps and slows down the pace, giving some flight on it. Keeps the line of attack on the stumps and the length is full. Mitchell Starc prods forward and brings his bat ahead of the pads to clip it away. But he is a bit early into the shot and ends up lobbing it towards the right of short leg where Jurel shows quick reflexes. He stays in his squatting position but stretches his right hand out, almost thrusting it over his head, and plucks it out of thin air. Starc departs on 12 (35). Sundar gets his first wicket and Australia are 227/8 now. And that will be TEA ON DAY 4!  227/8

54 OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! Two in the over for Sundar, either side of the Tea break! Sundar serves it on a nagging length, on the off-stump line, Lyon gets himself on the front foot and plays for the turn but there is no turn on offer.  This goes straight on and zips past the outside edge of Lyon's vertical bat. It goes through to clatter the off pole. Sundar punches the air in delight. A duck for Lyon. India are now just a wicket away from going 1-0 up!  227/9
