IND vs AUS Live Cricket Score

34.1 OUT! Maiden Test wicket for Kuldeep Yadav thanks to a brilliant catch by Rahane! Lands it outside off, a touch short, Warner thinks - a boundary and goes to cut it. It is too close to cut and the ball goes off the outside edge straight to Ajinkya Rahane at first slip who takes it towards his right. Warner had earlier got a boundary, playing a similar shot, in the very first over of Kuldeep but this time the bowler gets the better off the batsman. That is how the game of cricket is! David Warner has to walk back after a good start and an ideal start for India post lunch. Kuldeep is delighted and why not, the entire Indian team is around him, celebrating what will be a memorable moment for him. The coach, Anil Kumble too applauds the effort.  144/2

1.4 OUT! TIMBER! Fuller in length around off, Renshaw plays outside the line and the ball nips back in. The ball brushes the pad and goes onto disturb the stumps. Umesh strikes for India and that should relax the Indian team. India will want to make most of this conditions. Renshaw has been scoring a lot for Australia and India will be happy to see the back of him, early.  10/1

59.5 OUT! India finally manage to dismiss Smith. Ashwin scalps a very big wicket at the stroke of tea and the crowd is buzzing. Tosses this one around off, Smith looks to defend but the ball straightens a touch and induces an outside edge. Rahane is well balanced at first slip, gets low and grabs a sharp catch at his left. Smith starts walking. The Indian dressing room is charged up, Virat Kohli notably, who is cheering the team from there.  208/6

37.4 OUT! Soft dismissal for Shaun Marsh, unfortunate rather! Umesh slips one on a good length on the stumps, Marsh looks to help it on its way through. The ball though brushes off the edge of the bat and flies through to Saha who takes a good catch to his right. Umesh turns around to appeal and the umpire has ruled it out. Another wicket for India, not how they would have liked but they will take it happily.  153/3

44.5 OUT! Well bowled, Kuldeep! Two balls in a row, he got the batsman to drive, this time he gets one to spin back in and it makes the difference. It lands outside off, comes in sharply as Handscomb goes for the drive but is beaten all ends up. The ball goes through him and castles Peter Handscomb. That is a wicket well-earned by the rookie spinner. India have managed to comeback well. There was a puff of dust when the ball landed on the surface, it might be sign of things to come.  168/4

49 OUT! Beaten all ends up! The young lad is wreaking havoc. Yadav loops this one in the line of the stumps, Maxwell plays for the one that comes in but it doesn't and goes onto crash the stumps. Maxwell is absolutely disgruntled. Yadav is ecstatic. Oh, this game of cricket, I tell you. India are right back in the game. Kuldeep gets his third wicket.  178/5

87.4 OUT! Jadeja strikes! Too full outside off, Wade gets low to sweep that one but misses. The ball kisses the stumps and that is the end of Wade for this innings. Jadeja gets his maiden wicket but the umpire are checking the no ball and hence Wade has to wait. Replays show it was a clean wicket and hence he has to depart.  298/9

72.4 OUT! As easy as it gets. Yadav nicely tosses it up on middle, gets to dip it beautifully, Cummins tries to go over the bowler's head but fails to connect cleanly. Yadav judges the catch perfectly and takes it. He throws the ball in the air after grabbing it and the celebrations began. He has his fourth, Australia lose their seventh. What a debut this has been!  245/7

79.3 OUT! The subsitute fielder, Shreyas Iyer, who was drafted in the squad just yesterday has effected a brilliant run out. Loops this one around leg, Wade clips it towards square leg and looks for a single. But Iyer there is very quick, collects the ball and hurls a throw at the striker's end. SOK dives but fails to get in as Saha whips the bails off. The Indians are delighted and the umpire takes it upstairs. Replays show that Saha might have disturbed the bails before collecting the cherry. But after seeing it for a number of times, the third umpire is assured that it is not the case. Out reads the big screen and SOK has to depart.  269/8

88.3 OUT! Kumar strikes! Fuller and angling into the stumps, Lyon shapes for a clip but fails to keep it down. The ball carries to Cheteshwar Pujara who dives forward to take the catch at mid-wicket. That is it for Australia, they are bowled out for 300!  300/10

40.2 OUT! Cummins has the last laugh! Shorter in length outside off, Rahul looks to pull it but is no position whatsoever.

Australia get the breakthrough they wanted.  21/1

61 OUT! Huge wicket for the Australians and a brilliant start to the session. Lyon tosses this outside off, Pujara goes forward to defend but the ball takes the inside edge, kisses the pads and lobs towards Handscomb at short leg. He dives to his left to grab it. Lyon appeals and the finger goes up. Pujara knows he nicked it and starts walking. India will again have to be patient now and build another partnership. They trail by 143 runs.  157/3

79 OUT! What a catch, Steve Smith! Flatter outside off, Rahane goes back and looks to defend but gets an outside edge which flies to the left of Steve Smith at first slip. He is watching it like a Hawk and takes a sharp catch. That ends a gritty knock by Rahane. He can't believe that he is out. Yet another 49-run stand broken. The deficit for India is 84 runs.  216/5

64.4 OUT! Second wicket after Tea. India in huge trouble! Shortish delivery which is spinning in, Nair rocks back eyeing to nudge it away but only manages to glove it.

Nathan Lyon has taken four and India are still 79 runs behind.  221/6

114.1 OUT! Another outstanding catch from Smith. Pat bowls a short delivery, around off, Saha is surprised by the bounce as he looks to fend. But the ball kisses the gloves and flies in the air towards the slip cordon. It seemed like the ball would go over Smith, but such is his judgment that he timed his jump to perfection to take a one-handed stunner. What a series he is having, with the bat and on the field too.  318/9

112.1 OUT! Cummins has his man, Jadeja's innings comes to an end. Pat bowls this marginally ahead of length and outside off, Jadeja goes to flay it through covers but instead drags it onto the stumps. Cummins starts celebrating and the southpaw starts walking. He will be a bit disappointed as he could've left that ball alone.  317/7

113.5 OUT! Gone for a duck. O'Keefe strikes straightaway. Loops this one outside off, Kumar looks to defend but it takes the outside edge and flies towards Smith at first slip. He crouches and catches it to his right. A well-judged catch and Australia have struck twice in quick succession. India lead by 18 runs.  318/8

118.1 OUT! Nathan Lyon takes his ninth five-wicket haul in Tests. What a series he has had! Coming to the ball, this is tossed up around middle and leg, Kuldeep Yadav kneeled and looked to sweep.

INDIA HAVE BEEN BOWLED OUT WITH A LEAD OF 32.  332/10

9.2 OUT! The Indian pace bowlers have turned the match on its head. This is some serious world class bowling from both Umesh and Bhuvneshwar. Yadav bowls this on a good length and swings it away.

3.1 OUT! Karun Nair will be the most happy person in Dharamsala right now. This riveting spell of fast bowling gives India a wicket. Umesh bowls this on a length and outside off, Warner tries to push it down the ground but only manages a faint edge which Saha grabs quite easily. Umesh appeals and the umpire gives Warner the marching orders. The dropped catch doesn't cost much like it did in the first innings and the southpaw departs for six. Australia still trail by 22 runs.  10/1

8.3 OUT! India manage to dismiss Steven Smith early and it is a huge, huge wicket. Bhuvneshwar Kumar knows it, the Dharamsala crowd knows it and is buzzing. A fist pump by Bhuvi to release the pressure he was under after being hit for two boundaries. He bowls this marginally short, and keeps it around off, Smith thinks opts for the pull shot but it is not quite there to be pulled. The ball takes the inside edge and the off stump goes for a walk. He gestures to Renshaw that ball swung in. A rare misjudgement from a player who is in immense touch. What a wicket for India, Australia still trail by a run.  31/2

24.3 OUT! The skippers are having a good game in the slips too. Rahane has taken a stunner again! Ashwin lands it outside off, the ball does not spin and goes straight on. Bounces more on Peter Handscomb who is on his back foot to defend it. The ball takes the outside edge and flies to Ajinkya Rahane at first slip. He reacts really well to it, going towards his right and takes it head high. He sits down there stunned as to how did he manage to take that one. End of a crucial stand for Australia, Handscomb has to walk back.  87/4

32.3 OUT! Big wicket for India! Ashwin tosses this one around off, Maxwell leans forward to defend with the bat behind his pads. As a result his willow is nowhere near the ball and he gets pinged on the front pad. Ashwin appeals and the umpire obliges. Maxwell takes the review after a talk with Wade. He was sure that he was hit outside the line and was playing a shot. Ball Tracker shows that the impact is umpire's call and the ball is clipping the leg stump. Two umpire's calls and Maxwell has to take the long walk back to the pavilion. He played well but departs with the lead just 74!  106/6

25.3 OUT! Marsh is walking and Australia are in deep trouble! Jadeja bowls it outside off, not quite on the driving length. Shaun Marsh lunges forward to defend but is not up to it. The ball goes off the gloves and lobs towards Cheteshwar Pujara at short leg, who takes the catch towards his right. Two vital wickets for India in quick time, Australia are effectively 60/5 here. That will also be Tea, Day 3!  92/5

47.4 OUT! Another one bites the dust! Jadeja floats it outside off, Cummins looks to drive it through covers. The ball goes off the outside edge and carries to Ajinkya Rahane at first slip. He takes the catch towards his left and that is the end of Cummins with the bat. Australia are effectively 89/7!  121/7

49.2 OUT! Superb catch from Pujara! Floats it outside off, Steve O'Keefe lunges forward to defend but the ball bounces a touch more. It flies quickly to the left of Cheteshwar Pujara who takes it on his second attempt at silly point. That's a superb catch from him and the pair of Pujara and Jadeja continue to hurt Australia in the series. The lead for Australia is still 89 runs!  121/8

50.3 OUT! Umesh Yadav strikes in time! Bowls it outside off on a length, Lyon pushes at it from his crease. The ball goes off the outside edge and flies to second slip. Vijay takes the catch and that is the third wicket for Umesh Yadav. Australia are falling like nine pins. Wade might reflect on his mistake now, he will surely farm the strike from hereon.  122/9

53.5 OUT! All over for Australia! Bowls it around off, Hazlewood comes forward to defend but is hit on his pads. The ball carries to the silly point fielder and he takes it and appeals too. The umpire rules it out. Hazlewood walks down has a chat with Wade and goes for the review. Ball Tracker shows that impact was in line and it was clipping the stumps so Hazlewood has to walk back. The third umpire informs Ian Gould to signal it out yet again as his decision was reviewed. Australia dismissed for 137, India need 106 runs to win the game and the series!  137/10

13.1 OUT! Vijay's misery comes to an end! He was struggling to time the ball today and has to walk back now. Pat Cummins finally gets rewarded for his consistent bowling. Bowls this one just in the area outside off on a length, Vijay has to play at it. He looks to defend but gets an outside edge which carries to Wade. The keeper accepts the catch gleefully. A well-deserved wicket for the Australian fast bowler. India need 60 more runs to win.  46/1

14 OUT! Disaster for India and Cheteshwar Pujara is run out! Good length outside off, Pujara taps it towards covers and wants a single. Rahul responds but hesitates. That leads to Pujara slowing down a touch too. Both of them are standing in the middle of the pitch. Maxwell from covers, picks up the ball and hits the middle stump at the bowler's end to run Pujara out. That is a proper brain-fade from India. The Indian number 3 walks back livid with himself, the coach Anil Kumble is not happy too. There was never a run there. We all knew there will be a twist in the tale, didn't we? Such has been the Test series.  46/2
