More runs, four of them, as Rohit (35*) almost flicks Cummins straight for another boundary, and then takes a single to bring up India's FIFTY. 50/1.

09:34 (IST) Jan 16

Another edge. This time off Rohit's (30*) bat against Cummins. Goes straight to ground and through the slips region for a four. India 45/1.

09:30 (IST) Jan 16

Nathan Lyon is into the attack. And three runs off his first over in his 100th Test.

09:20 (IST) Jan 16

Edge, and it bounces in front of Smith. Almost an action replay of a little while earlier, when Pujara had edged Cummins. India 32/1.

09:16 (IST) Jan 16

A check-drive by Pujara (6*) past mid-off for three. And Rohit (18*) follows that up with a more assured one in the same region for another three. India 32/1.

09:13 (IST) Jan 16

With 12 overs completed, India are 26/1, scoring at just over two runs an over; but that's understandable with the Aussies running in with their tail up having removed Gill (7) early after putting up a competitive 369 on the board.

After playing seven dot balls, Pujara pushes one between point and cover for a quick single to get off the mark. India 22/1.

08:53 (IST) Jan 16

Big LBW appeal by Hazlewood against Rohit (8*) after the ball moved in to hit the batsman's back leg. Paine inquires with his bowler for a bit but they decide against taking a review. India 17/1.

08:46 (IST) Jan 16

Oh! Pujara edges first ball, but it falls just short of Smith. Heart-in-mouth moment for India, but safe in the end. 11/1

08:44 (IST) Jan 16

Out! The pressure was building, and Cummins gets Gill (7) to poke at one away from his body, which results in an edge that is caught by Smith in the slips. India 11/1.

08:41 (IST) Jan 16

India 11/0 in six overs, three of which have been maidens.

08:35 (IST) Jan 16

First boundary of India's innings comes off Gill's (7*) bat, who stands tall to cut Starc for four in front of square. India 11/0.

Gill is underway as well, off the seventh ball he faced, with a tuck off his legs for a single against Hazlewood. India 3/0.

08:22 (IST) Jan 16

Hazlewood bowling to Gill from the other end, and it's six dots - a maiden. India 2/0.

08:19 (IST) Jan 16

And Rohit gets himself and India off the mark with a push for a couple through the off-side. India 2/0.

08:17 (IST) Jan 16

India's innings has just commenced after the lunch break, as Rohit Sharma leaves the first two deliveries bowled by Mitchell Starc, with Shubman Gill at the other end. Australia were bowled out for 369 in their first innings.

07:36 (IST) Jan 16

ALL OUT @ Lunch

Australia bowled out for 369 at Lunch on Day 2, having added 95 runs for five wickets on the second morning. Labuschagne's 108 led the Aussie first innings, with skipper Paine being the other chief contributor with his 50. Not to forget the crucial 40s by Wade and Green, plus the cameos by Lyon and Starc in the end. For India, debutants Sundar (3/89) & Natarajan (3/78), along with Thakur (3/94), were the bowling stars with three wickets each. Their effort becomes even more commendable considering India were a bowler short, with Saini still unavailable after the groin injury he suffered yesterday.

07:32 (IST) Jan 16

And another four in the Siraj over. Again through the cover region by Hazlewood (11*) . No chance for the fielders. Australia 369/9.
