    India will not follow-on!

    I doubt Australia would've enforced it anyway, but it's something.

    Umesh Yadav helps a wide ball from Cummins on its way to the third man boundary as the deficit dips below 200.

  2. Ind 266-7published at 65 overs

    The more I see of Australia's bowlers, the more nervous I get for next week.

    Anyone else?

    Feast your eyes on this.

    It's a beauty.

    It's all Australia now.

    Just two singles from Pat Cummins' over as India attempt to reset.

    Shane Warne has to be Luke Skywalker. He definitely used the force in that delivery against Mike Gatting

  6. Ind 263-7published at 63 overs

    The India fans are still applauding every run like it's the winning one.

    Shardul Thakur, now the senior batter with Umesh Yadav for company, moves to 37 with a single to fine leg.

    Green has such a big frame. He looks like a monster stood next to Steve Smith and David Warner.

    Not many people are reaching that catch. You have to have unbelievable anticipation to even think it is going there.

    Don't hit the ball in the air in the gully this summer.

    We'll get you a clip of that beauty as soon as we can.

    All the talk will be about the catch but credit to Ajinkya Rahane, who withstood some really testing bowling yesterday and this morning.

    While India's job has just got a lot harder, he gave them hope.

    Cameron Green dropped this earlier, remember.

    That is one of the best catches I have seen live. The ball is behind Green. He was quite close at gully.

    He was almost parallel to the ground when he caught it. That was something special.

    Rahane c Green b Cummins 89 (Ind 261-7)

    WOW! That is an absolutely STUNNING take from Cameron Green.

    But it's heartbreak for Ajinkya Rahane.

    A thick outside edge shoots to Green at gully, and reminiscent of Ben Stokes off Stuart Broad in 2015, the all-rounder sticks out a hand and takes it with the ball pretty much behind him.

    A stunner. Rahane trudges off after a brilliant, battling innings.

  14. Ind 260-6published at 61 overs

    A metronomic maiden to start proceedings.

    Ajinkya Rahane is solid in defence for the first ball after lunch.

    Scott Boland has ball in hand, ready to start the afternoon session.

    He did this with the second ball of the day.

    A very strong start, James.

    Star Wars has an easy one - Jimmy Anderson has to be Yoda. He'll still be opening the bowling at 900 years old, with probably 10,000 wickets.

    During the lunch interval, we heard David Warner's interview with the BBC about his 'pantomime villain' role, his future, and what the 'real' David Warner is like.

    If you missed it, you can read what he had to say here.

    You have all been busy sending in your Lord of the Rings references, which mean absolutely nothing to me.

    But feel free to keep them coming. If we could do Star Wars instead, though, I'd be able to actually join in.
