- 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.

- 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!

- 12:44 (IST)
- 12:32 (IST)IND vs AUS Live: A test of Suryakumar Yadav!Everyone has seen how good Suryakumar Yadav is in the white-ball cricket, but his red-ball performance at the highest level is yet to be judged. He might not be getting a better opportunity than this as a set batter Rohit Sharma is at the other end to guide him and lead the innings.

- 10:58 (IST)IND vs AUS Live: Australia lose review!An off spin delivery from Todd Murphy hit the front pad of Rohit Sharma. There was a huge appeal for an LBW but umpire was unconvinced.
