Live Reporting

Matthew Henry and Ffion Wynne

  1. It looks like both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are speaking in the Indian huddle.

    It's now or never for India.

  2. Aus 23-1

    Lead by 196

    Marnus Labuschagne leads Usman Khawaja down the steps from the Oval dressing room. I wonder if they've added any extra padding during the break.

  3. Anyway. Enough of that nonsense.

    We have another fascinating session coming up.

  4. Thank you, Ffion. Speaking of great days...

  5. Anyway, it's time for me to treat you all to the return of Matt Henry to see what the evening session has in store.

    In a bit!

  6. That was a great day.

    Thanks for the reminder, Martin.

    Wales celebrate winGetty Images

    Saw Steve Finn behind me at the turnstiles of West Hampstead overground after England lost Wales in rugby World Cup 2015. I recognised the face, but was convinced it was someone I knew through rugby as he is so tall. Took a while for the penny to drop.

  8. And Mohammed Siraj has provided a thrilling contest, as he so often does.

    Marnus Labuschagne has not had it easy.

  9. But Usman Khawaja has stood firm, having got a duck in the first innings.

  10. Marnus Labuschagne provided much of the entertainment, as he so often does.

    From a nap, to being in the middle, to being pinned on the hand in the space of about five minutes.

    All of the fast bowlers for the rest of this game are going to be revving themselves up to bowl at the far end. Nathan Lyon will have a job to do at this end.

    The pitch will dry out even more and the bounce become even more erratic.

    It is electric but you don't want to see hands being hit by length balls.

    You need to have a true surface. Yes, sideways movement but not flying up like that and broken bones.

  13. Tea - Aus 23-1

    Lead by 196

    Well! How good was that?

    The game is still very much in Australia's favour but you can't say India haven't played their part.

    Mohammed Siraj in particular was fast, hostile and aggressive - with some help from the pitch.

    It's a decent effort from Australia to come out of that just one wicket down.

    Saw Shaun Tait shopping in Westfield White City a few months ago. Looked like he could still generate lively pace!

    Former England bowler on BBC Test Match Special

    When the ball went soft in the afternoon, there was less erratic bounce but this is extreme.

  16. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    Kohli is like Pavarotti there in full swing with his arms out.

  17. Aus 22-1

    The crowd are lapping this up, with the help of Virat Kohli.

    It's one of those sessions where you don't want the tea break to come. You expect something to happen every ball.

  18. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    Labuschagne has got another one! That is horrible. It has flown off a length.

    That is a terrible ball. It shouldn't be happening. It is a miracle no-one has broken a hand or finger in these three days.

  19. ouch!

    Aus 21-1

    Siraj's extra bounce clatters Labuschagne on the hand again.

    Labuschagne immediately drops the bat again and grimaces.

    It's still spicy out there!

  20. Aus 19-1

    Can India's change bowlers back up the hard work of Shami and Siraj?

    Shardul Thakur, India's hero with the bat, starts nicely with just three singles conceded.

    Wickets are needed, though...
