  1. Ind 50-3published at 14 overs

    The India supporters in the crowd are a little stunned as Ajinkya Rahane comes out to the middle and defends his first ball from Cameron Green.

    India are still a mammoth 419 runs behind.

    I can't believe two batters have done the same thing. It did nip back quite a way. Pujara just watched it hit the off stump.

    Australia are absolutely delighted with that.

    Pujara b Green 14 (Aus 50-3)

    Another disastrous leave!

    Cameron Green gets one to nip back in sharply to Cheteshwar Pujara, who can only watch the ball smash into his stumps. Another costly misjudgement.

    Green leaps into the air in celebration. Australia all over India at the moment.

    No-one is hitting that.

  6. Ind 49-2published at 13 overs

    Trail by 420 runs

    That was a beauty from Scott Boland.

    Perfect line and length on off stump, drifting away from Cheteshwar Pujara and fizzing past his outside edge.

  8. Ind 49-2published at 12 overs

    There is a change at the other end as powerful frame of all-rounder Cameron Green limbers up.

    That is a fine shot from Cheteshwar Pujara, who rocks back and plays a beautiful push off the back foot through point for four.

    Brilliant technique.

    When Boland does bowl too straight you think it's so out of character.

  10. Ind 42-2published at 11 overs

    Ooh, Scott Boland nearly tempts Cheteshwar Pujara into a nibble outside off stump but the ball flies through to the keeper.

    Boland then, unusually, strays off line and too full, Pujara's eyes light up and he clips it through mid-wicket for four.

    It looks set to be a fascinating battle between these two.

    Scott Boland will open up the evening session. He is 1-2 from his three overs so far.

  12. Postpublished at 15:31 British Summer Time 8 June 2023

    Thanks, Matthew.

    Yep, this could be an eventful evening session.

    We will almost certainly take the extra half an hour to get as many of the scheduled remaining 41 overs in as possible, meaning we should see play until 18:00 BST.

  13. Postpublished at 15:27 British Summer Time 8 June 2023

    We always say this but the next session really could be pivotal in this match.

    India can't win it over the next two and a bit hours but they could certainly lose it.

    Tom Mallows is back to take you through it.

    Outside of England, Virat Kohli averages a century every 5.8 Test innings (which is frankly amazing). In England, that drops to one in 16 innings. Big games call for big players - this would be some moment to improve that second record.

  15. Postpublished at 15:22 British Summer Time 8 June 2023

    Despite their good start, India are right under the pump after some classic Pat Cummins and a Shubman Gill brain fade.

  16. Postpublished at 15:17 British Summer Time 8 June 2023

    Australia started that session on 422-7. India did well to dismiss them for 469.

    A waft of raw onion has just drifted across the outdoor press seats. Down to my right, a fella has whipped the lid off a beautifully crafted home made salad, garnished with coriander. To top it off, he's whipped out half a lime and squeezed the juice all over. Elite snacking.

  18. Tea - Ind 37-2published at 10 overs

    Trail by 432

    Virat Kohli needs no invitation to head off at the end of Pat Cummins' over. That is an excellent mini session for Australia. Two of the big guns are back in the hutch.

  19. Ind 37-2published at 9.4 overs

    Virat Kohli looks like he's happy to leave and make sure he's still unbeaten at tea.

    This will likely be the final over of the session.

    Sporting Badger: There are two types of leave. And I don't think that was the good one.
