    Times I was in minority: 1977, 10 years old, England Scotland at Wembley, upper tier, my Dad and I only English supporters! Left before pitch invasion! Can still hear chants of spot the looney!

  2. Ind 169-4

    Travis Head is on. Australia really ringing the changes. I'm not sure I'm having it that you can win a World Cup with Travis Head's off-breaks as part of the attack. KL Rahul has moved to 48. He's only hit one four.

    Bar in Hanoi for the rugby World Cup final in 2003. Me and 100+ plus Aussies. At the end I stood at the front and goaded them. Someone just said "I think you'd better leave, mate".

  4. Ind 165-4

    Mitchell Starc is bowling. Think of the trophy cabinet in the Starc-Healy household. Loads of silverware between them. It probably takes up the entire front room. Minor awards in the downstairs loo.

    India need this partnership to prosper. They've got Suryakumar Yadav to come in later on and smash it around.

    I've got a feeling India don't need 280 or 300 to win today. Something well short of that could be defendable.

  6. Ind 162-4

    The players have taken drinks.

    Thinking about it, I'm in the minority every day at home. I say one thing, but my other half and kids do the exact opposite.

    Australia have just been chipping away and have forced India to promote Jadeja for the very first time. If Australia continue like this they will find themselves very happy at the interval stage.

    My dad is a Leeds fan. Away tickets were hard to come by, we were often surrounded by Leeds-hating home fans. My dad and I had fake goal celebrations/disappointment down to a tee.

    Overheard from an India fan in Ahmedabad: "280, mate. We need 280."

    India could defend fewer than that on this pitch.

  10. Ind 162-4

    I was once one of the only away fans in Sydney when Great Britain won a rugby league match against the Aussies. Much reveling that night. Here's the Kohli wicket that had the few Aussie fans up and about in Ahmedabad.

    Still the DJ trying to flog some life out of the crowd, they have gone very quiet. A bit flat.

  12. Ind 158-4

    I'm enjoying these three Aussie fans in Ahmedabad. Do let me know the times when you know you've been in the minority.

    Two more wickets and Australia are into the tail!

  14. Ind 155-4

    Thanks, Ffion.

    Come on, you can admit it. You thought it was a shocking call from Cummins to field first, didn't you?

  15. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    An appeal for the stumping and catch, but neither are given out. The DRS has to review everything so Australia needn't bother reviewing themselves.

  16. Not out

    It wasn't close to either. Quite the anti-climax.

    The review, I mean. Not the fact I'm handing over to Stephan Shemilt.

    Enjoy.

  17. Umpire review

    A stumping? A caught behind? I'm not entirely sure what Australia are asking for but they're pretty excited.

    Australia have chopped and changed their bowling and that shows their experience. They have fought there way back in to this game and it really is in the balance. They will be very, very interested now.

  19. It was going perfectly to plan...

    An interesting tactical move from India bringing Jadeja to the crease. This is not a 350 wicket, this is a very workman-like wicket. You have to work slowly to bring up a total.
