    The first hour of the afternoon session belongs to Australia as Travis Head and Steve Smith continue to build.

    Here's what has happened:

    • Australia have moved to 158-3 at drinks.
    • Head has brought his third successive 50-plus score off 71 balls.
    • Smith has shown some fluency that has been missing in this series. He's unbeaten on 44 at drinks.
    • India lost a review after a failed check for lbw against Steve Smith. Akash Deep hit his pad as he shuffled across, but the technology showed it missing leg stump.
    • There has also been caught behind appeals against both Smith and Head.

    "In the past hour we've started to see signs of the old Steve Smith," says England's Ashes-winning captain Michael Vaughan on TNT Sports.

  3. What happened in the morning session?

    Well, after a frustrating opening day where just 13.2 overs were possible, we had a full session of cricket!

    Here's what happened:

    • Australia moved from 28-0 to 104-3.
    • Jasprit Bumrah had Usman Khawaja caught behind in the fourth over of the day, before Nathan McSweeney edged to slip in his next over.
    • Bumrah has now been responsible for all four of McSweeney's dismissals in the series so far.
    • Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith shared 37 off 89 balls before the former edged Nitish Kumar Reddy to Virat Kohli at slip.
    • That came an over after Mohammed Siraj had switched the bails around in an attempt to bring a change of luck.
    • Siraj and India failed in a review for lbw against Smith, who offered no shot. The technology showed it was just clipping off stump and said umpire's call so India retained their review.
    • Siraj spent some time off the field with a leg injury. He has since returned.
    • Smith and Head guided Australia to lunch.
