    Smith should try giving Travis Head an over or two

  2. Ind 161-3

    Target 265

    The frustration builds for Australia.

    I'm not sure if Kohli even felt that on his bat. That will be a huge sigh of relief for him.

  4. Not out

    Oh, a thin edge saves him.

    Virat Kohli smiles mischievously.

    Was it pitching outside leg? Maxwell really liked it, it looked pretty close.

    This is a big moment in the game.

  6. Aus review

    Huge appeal!

    Has Glenn Maxwell got his revenge on Virat Kohli? The umpire isn't convinced, but Steve Smith wants a second look.

    Axar Patel wants to get on with it. That blow has lit up the stadium, which is almost completely full now!

  8. 6 runs

    Ind 158-3

    Target 265

    There are optimistic cries of "catch!" as Axar Patel heaves a slog sweep into the leg side, but he just about gets enough on it for six.

    An animated response from Virat Kohli at the other end. He is pumped.

    It's frustrating as a bowler when you cannot stop the singles, and you know that singles are all India need at the moment.

  10. Ind 150-3

    Target 265

    A quiet but unthreatening over from Glenn Maxwell ticks by.

    Here's a reminder of the chance put down off Virat Kohli earlier...

  11. Ind 147-3

    Target 265

    Far too short from Adam Zampa, and Virat Kohli isn't going to waste that.

    Clubbed for four.

  12. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    That's what makes good teams, not trying to go for four every ball. Both India and Australia do that really well.

  13. Ind 141-3

    Target 265

    Axar Patel has started his innings proactively, similarly to Alex Carey's approach for Australia.

    A sweetly-timed drive over cover off Glenn Maxwell brings him two more.

  14. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    A brilliant bit of fielding from Alex Carey, he is so good out there in the deep. It was a short ball from Zampa and Axar Patel was onto it in a flash.

  15. Ind 136-3

    Target 265

    Superb work on the boundary from Alex Carey to restrict Axar Patel to just two after he nails a pull shot to conclude Zampa's successful over.

  16. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    There is the breakthrough. Zampa is Australia's wicket-taker. He is so good with the ball, he completely beat Shreyas Iyer for pace.

    You can see what that wicket meant for Australia, they are all up and about!

    WICKET

    Iyer b Zampa 45 (Ind 134-3)

    There's the breakthrough!

    Adam Zampa gets rid of Shreyas Iyer, skidding one through his defence as he tries to cut the ball off the back foot.

    A frustrated grimace from Iyer as he departs. Can Australia make the most of this opening?

  18. Alex Hartley
    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Glenn Maxwell shakes his head. That should have been taken.

    Australia have dropped so many catches, that's three today. Maxwell and Connolly got into a tangle. Maxwell was like superman as he dived but just couldn't cling on.

  19. dropped catch

    Kohli dropped on 51

    Ind 134-2

    Oh!

    Virat Kohli gets a life and Australia cannot believe it. He chips it softly back towards Cooper Connolly, who probably should be the one going for it. Instead, Glenn Maxwell dives one-handed from short cover, and can't hold on.

    Former England bowler on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra

    Those past five overs have proved how in control India are. They've rotated the strike, found the gaps and ran the singles.
