Bowled!

Lyon survives just one ball and then gets bowled for a duck.

Sundar got the ball to drift in slightly and then straighten.

Far too good for the No.10.

AUS 9-227

Last session

We are ready to go for what is surely the final session of the match.

Carey resumes on 30, joined by Nathan Lyon.

The end is nigh

The Australian lower-middle order has battled hard to take this to tea but the damage was done last night/ in the first innings.

Carey has looked solid but India have just chipped away as they have done today and will hope to wrap this up shortly after the break.

Starc falls to classic catch at tea.

Sundar goes up for LBW off the first ball but nothing doing.

Carey sweeps sweetly for three.

GREAT CATCH. Starc gets one off the inside edge at Jhurel is sticks the hand up at short leg to take a terrific catch and that’s tea.

53rd over - AUS 7/224

Harshit Rana replaces Siraj.

Starc crunches a drive straight to mid-on. He gets off strike with one to square leg.

Carey hits a sweet drive through the covers for three.

Starc runs two down to third man.

52nd over - AUS 7/218

Carey brings out the paddle sweep to get two off Sundar.

There’s a half-hearted LBW appeal off the last but it’s going well down leg.

51st over - AUS 7/216

Australia have scored 3/202 today after Khawaja fell which represents a fair effort in isolation.

There’s a wide and a bye before Carey drives nicely forward of over for three.

49th over - AUS 7/212

Sundar returns perhaps with Bumrah wanting to entice a big shot from this pair.

Starc defends and leaves before working a single square.

48th over - AUS 7/210

Starc gets one off the hip.

Carey beats mid-on for a couple then drops and runs on the leg-side for a single.

48th over - AUS 7/205

SHOT. Short on leg and Carey splits the gap between sqaure and fine-leg for four to bring up Australia’s 200.

He plays one out to point for a single. Starc gets one to deep third.

Carey drives nicely down the ground for two.
