Boland to Akash Deep, OUT

length ball angling into leg stump, tries to flick, and it pops straight to short leg. Australia think he's gone, but Joel Wilson says not out. Australia review. Went off the flap of the pad. Did it take a bit of inside edge on the way? Doesn't look like it.

Expecting India winning the series was out of scope after the performance in NZ...

But this match could have been saved, that Pant mistake costed a lot. Also Jaiswal didn't need to nudge that ball..

Drinks. We'll have 15 overs after this, or a full hour of play, whatever occurs later. So we could have more than 15 if they really rush through this. (And if India survive that long)

Vishak: "Why was Sundar not farming the strike and letting Akashdeep face so many balls? Seems to have missed the memo there!"

dav: "On the coverage you can see a new mark on the edge of the bat above the existing cherry created as the ball goes past"

Only 2 wickets in hand and 10 plus overs remaining.

Too difficult for India.

Bumrah be like...Bowling bhi mai hi karu aur batting bhi main hi karu?
