IND vs AUS Live Cricket Score

15.3 OUT! CAUGHT! A wicket against the run of play and it is Ravichandran Ashwin who draws first blood! This is flighted full and on an off-stump line. Travis Head looks to be aggressive and shimmies down the wicket to get to the pitch of the ball. He looks to loft this over the man at mid on but gets the toe end of his bat. The ball lobs up to the left of Ravindra Jadeja who makes no mistake in getting low and grabbing hold of the ball. Australia lose their first wicket after a good opening partnership and Srikar Bharat will breathe a sigh of relief seeing Travis Head back in the shed.  61/1

146.1 OUT! LBW! A lazy prod right after the break from Usman Khawaja and all the hard work is undone in a jiffy. Axar Patel starts off with a shortish delivery on middle and leg, turning it in. Khawaja goes on the back foot and casually looks to flick it away but misses and gets pinged on the pads. There is a huge shout for LBW but it is turned down. After a bit of discussion, the stand in skipper Cheteshwar Pujara takes the review. UltraEdge is checked first and there's no bat involved. Ball Tracking comes up with three reds and Khawaja has to walk back after a mamoth knock.  409/8

22.2 OUT! CHOPPED ON! What an inspired bowling change this has been from India! Mohammad Shami strikes straight away and gets rid of the dangerous Marnus Labuschagne! This is bowled on a good length and outside the off pole. Marnus Labuschagne looks to play at the ball with no real conviction and ends up getting an inside edge. The ball goes on to shatter the stumps and the Indians look ecstatic. Australia lose their second wicket and India are finding a way to claw themselves back into this game.  72/2

63.4 OUT! BOWLED! Ravindra Jadeja strikes and India have got rid of the opponent skipper who was looking untroubled at the wicket! This is bowled full and outside the off stump. Steven Smith looks to block this into the off side but gets an inside edge back that hits his pads and rolls onto the stumps. A massive sigh of relief from India as Steven Smith hangs his head down in disappointment. Just the breakthrough the hosts needed to start this session and they will now look to put some pressure on the new batter.  151/3

70.4 OUT! BOWLED! What a happy sight it is for any fast bowler to see the off pole cartwheel towards the wicket-keeper! This is bowled on a good length and just outside the off pole. The ball reverses a bit and that is enough to beat the outside edge of the bat. The ball uproots the stump and Peter Handscomb's enterprising inning comes to an end. Australia lose their fourth wicket and India are finding a way to keep themselves alive in this game.  170/4

130.2 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Ravichandran Ashwin strikes and India finally breaks this huge stand. A wicket against the run of play. Ashwin bowls this flatter and down the leg, Cameron Green goes down to sweep it away, but goes through the shot a bit early as the ball arrives late and brushes against his gloves towards the keeper where Srikar Bharat takes a sharp low catch moving to his right. They appeal for it, and up goes the finger. Cameron Green walks back after a fine innings.  378/5

131 OUT! TAKEN! Ravichandran Ashwin with the double whammy! Alex Carey tries to take on Ashwin, but holes out instead for a duck. This is flighted, full and well outside off, Alex Carey fails to control the temptation and goes for the slog-sweep against the turn, but slices it up in the air and Axar Patel at short third man takes a comfortable catch. Australia six down now!  378/6

135.3 OUT! TAKEN! Ravichandran Ashwin strikes again! He has been brilliant in this session and sends Mitchell Starc back to the hut now. He bowls this slower through the air, on middle, tempting the batter to come on the front foot, Mitchell Starc obliges and tries to fend it, but gets an uppish inside edge and Shreyas Iyer at short leg shows good reflexes and takes a fine low catch. Australia lose their seventh wicket!  387/7

167.2 OUT! TAKEN! Ravichandran Ashwin picks up his sixth wicket of the innings and Australia have been finally bundled out. Nicely flighted on a length and around off stump, Nathan Lyon puts a big stride forward as he looks to block. Lyon though doesn't get to the pitch of the ball and the outside edge is found. The ball flicks the keeper's legs and loops up kindly to Virat Kohli at first slip and he makes no mistake. Lyon's solid resistance comes to an end and Australia finish with 480 runs on the board.  480/10

165.3 OUT! LBW! This is bowled flatter and angled in from middle, staying low as well. Todd Murphy looks to push at it but leaves a huge gap between bat and pad and misses the block. The ball hits him on the pads and there is a big appeal. The finger goes up and Ravichandran Ashwin has done the trick once again it seems but Todd Murphy has reviewed it. Nothing on UltraEdge and Ball Tracking shows that it is just clipping leg stump which means the on-field decision stands and Ashwin gets yet another five-fer in Test cricket, excellent from him. Murphy departs but he played a fine knock.  479/9

21 OUT! CAUGHT! SOFT SOFT DISMISSAL! Rohit Sharma falls to a poor shot selection against the run of play and Matthew Kuhnemann draws first blood! This is short and outside the off stump. Rohit Sharma rocks onto his back foot and looks to punch this into the off side. The ball seems to get stuck in the wicket and the batter ends up hitting it uppishly straight into the hands of Marnus Labuschagne at cover. Australia looks absolutely ecstatic with this wicket as the Indian skipper takes the long walk back to the shed.  74/1

78.4 OUT! LBW! Just a lapse in concentration from Shubman Gill and Nathan Lyon gets the breakthrough in his first over of a new spell. This is tossed up on a shortish length around off and the ball turns in a bit sharply. Gill goes on the back foot and looks to tuck but misses the ball completely and is rapped on the pads. There is a huge appeal for LBW and the finger is raised! Shubman Gill has reviewed it though. Nothing on UltraEdge. Ball Tracking comes up with three reds and Shubman Gill has to walk back after a sensational inning.  245/3

62 OUT! PLUMB! Cheteshwar Pujara plays through the long line and wicket just before Tea for Australia! Todd Murphy gets the breakthrough and the 100-run stand comes to an end! This is tossed up full and in line with the stumps. The ball straightens a touch after pitching and beats the inside edge of Cheteshwar Pujara's bat to rap against the pads. The Australian players go up in appeal and the umpire raises his finger. The batter goes for the review and UltraEdge shows no bat involved. Ball Tracking shows three reds and Cheteshwar Pujara will be very disappointed with the dismissal. India are now two down and Australia will be relieved.  187/2

178.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Virat Kohli holes out in the end and walks back a tad disappointed. Todd Murphy flights it up nicely outside off and Kohli goes for the slog-sweep. Kohli has to reach for it and ends up getting a top edge high in the air toward deep mid-wicket. There are two men in the deep and Marnus Labuschagne who is in front of square settles under it to take a fine catch. Kohli gets out for 186 and India finish with 571/9, leading by 91 runs.  571/9

107 OUT! CAUGHT! Ravindra Jadeja has gifted away his wicket! He has been attempting to play his shots and was not connecting them well but decided to persist with the strategy! Todd Murphy floats this one full and into the stumps. Ravindra Jadeja goes for a heave into the leg side but does not connect this well. The ball lobs up over mid on and Usman Khawaja stretches his hands over his head to grab onto the catch. India lose their fourth wicket and not the start they would have wanted this morning.  309/4

136.4 OUT! TAKEN! Nathan Lyon strikes! Australia finally breaks this partnership which was looking really good. Lyon flights this up around middle, turning in a bit, Srikar Bharat prods forward to defend with hard hands, but the extra bounce and turn takes the inside edge as the ball loops up of his pads towards short leg where Peter Handscomb takes a dolly. Bharat is really disappointed as he misses out on a well-deserved half-century.  393/5

172.3 OUT! DRAGGED ON! Mitchell Starc strikes! Axar Patel is a bit unlucky, but he will have to go back to the hut. Starc lands this on a good length and around off, shaping in a bit, Axar Patel stays in his crease and tries to drive it away from his body, but gets an inside edge back onto the stumps as the bails go flying. He is disappointed as it was a great opportunity for him to score a hundred. India six down now!  555/6

176 OUT! TAKEN! Nathan Lyon gets rid of Ravichandran Ashwin as he tries to go big this time. This is floated, full and around off, Ravichandran Ashwin goes down on one knee and tries to slog-sweep it, but fails to get underneath the ball and gets a top edge high up in the air towards deep mid-wicket where Matthew Kuhnemann settles under it and takes a good catch close to the ropes. India seven down now!  568/7

176.3 OUT! RUN OUT! A brilliant piece of fielding from Peter Handscomb gets another breakthrough for the Aussies. This is floated, full and on middle, Virat Kohli tucks it with soft hand towards mid-wicket and calls for two straightaway and Yadav responds too. However, Peter Handscomb runs in, picks it up and hits bullseye at the bowler's end with Umesh Yadav nowhere near the crease. The replay confirms the same and India lose their eighth wicket.  569/8

10.4 OUT! LBW! Ravichandran Ashwin draws first blood! The nightwatchman is gone! Ashwin bowls this a bit quicker, on middle and leg, angling in, Matthew Kuhnemann prods forward to block, but plays down the wrong line and gets rapped around his pads. There is a huge appeal for LBW, and up goes the finger. Travis Head tells Matthew Kuhnemann not to take the review and Australia lose their first wicket. However, the Ball Tracking shows that it was missing the stumps and India gets lucky here.  14/1

59.1 OUT! TIMBER! A ripper of a delivery from Axar Patel and what a way to get to his 50th Test wicket. Axar comes from over the wicket and starts off with a floater outside off stump. Travis Head gets drawn into the drive and ends up playing away from the body. Head doesn't reach the pitch of the delivery and the ball turns in sharply to beat the inside edge and knock over the top of off stump. Head cannot believe it and he has to depart for a well-made 90.  153/2
