Nine’s Wide World of Sports
Australia: Usman Khawaja, Sam Konstas, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Alex Carey, Pat Cummins (c), Mitchell Starc, Nathan Lyon, Scott Boland
India: Rohit Sharma (c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, Akash Deep, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj
Players are walking back onto the field and we are back underway.
Marnus Labuschagne is on 65 and Cummins is on 21.
Australia leads by 240 runs.
Bumrah is going to be first up for India.
And with that over complete, we head into tea break.
Australia are 6-135.
"There will always be a twist… we don't know what's going to happen in the next session," Harsha Bhogle said on Fox Cricket.
Jaiswal is not having a good day making catches.
In short, he has dropped a big chance to take Pat Cummins out before the break.
Marnus has escaped yet another dismissal!
He goes to defend a length ball which has snuck up and over leg stump.
India were left stunned that it missed the bails and it looks like Marnus was too.

Some valuable runs are beginning to come from Labuschagne and Cummins.
Australia are currently 6-15 after 45 overs.
Akash Deep has been sent back into the attack, and it appears Marnus Labuschagne trusts his skipper's abilities to face all but Bumrah.
Cummins tried to go large and got the better side of Nitish, who attempted to dive for the ball but couldn't make it there in time.
Bit of a risky move from the skipper.
"He was always going to be about a metre away from that," Michael Hussey said on Fox Cricket.
Jasprit Bumrah is back while Siraj is receiving some support from the physio on his shoulders.
Marnus Labuschagne has opted to turn down two runs in bid to protect Pat Cummins from facing Bumrah.
"Marnus Labuschange is fighting for his country," Isa Guha said on Fox Cricket.
On the next over, Siraj returns back for another spell and Marnus has found the 50.

WOW!
Jaiswal has dropped A SECOND CATCH!!!
"This is catching practice," Isa Guha said on Fox.
He has dropped Marnus Labuschagne on 47, as he tried to galnce the ball down to third man.

It carried to Jaiswal at gully and that was a VERY easy catch that has gone begging!
He also dropped Usman Khawaja this morning! He would be kicking himself.
Australia 6-100.
Pat Cummins is doing all he can to relax and keep Australia in this innings, like a good skipper should.
But wow, that must be pretty difficult given the circumstances.
"They've got their money's worth with today's cricket," Harsha Bhogle said on Fox.
Australia 6-99.
Labuschagne 46 off 92, Cummins 4 off 6.
Over 39,000 at the MCG today so far!
Sorry, we are still freaking out about Jaspirt Bumrah here.
This was just one of those insane wickets.
And wow, just wow!
