Mitchell Starc to Pant, no run, Carey appeals, Starc isn't confident though but Australia review it. Pant comes down the track a long way to swing across the line, Starc follows him and the ball seems to have come off the thigh. Clearly no bat and the same has been confirmed by Snicko. Australia burn their second review

Jason Gillespie rings the bell and the players stride out to the middle. It's another bright day in Adelaide.

Pitch Report | Matthew Hayden and Sunil Gavaskar: It has hardened up, it's also got a beautiful layer of grass that you can see. Those scarified marks are marks that actually completely line up at the stumps. On the middle-stump, these cracks are starting to open up right on the middle. They are going to be challenging. Pat Cummins can put a ball on a handkerchief, Scott Boland will be doing the same thing - buzzing around off-stump hoping for a little bit of a deviation. This looks like a really good batting surface. If India were two down only, they would have been thinking in terms of scoring at least another 200-250 runs more. This is generally a very good wicket for batting. There's an extra layer of grass still around, but it's still a pretty good pitch to bat.

Mohammed Siraj in a chat with Star Sports: I enjoyed bowling a lot here. They were batting really well and when they hit the good balls for boundaries, you can’t help. Whatever you saw on TV, i didn’t say anything in disrespect. It was just part of my celebration (Talking about the celebration after Head’s wicket). Whatever he said in Press conference, it wasn’t true. He never said “well bowled”. We respect each other and cricket is a gentleman’s game. I didn’t feel right to me (talking about the stuff that Head spoke about Siraj’s celebration in PC). We know how to make a comeback, we are staying positive always and try our best to rise to the occasion.

Australia haven't let India get off the hook in this Test match. Thanks to Starc's 6-for, they bowled out India for 180 in two sessions, survived a tricky phase under lights with the bat and then made hay when the sun was shining. While Labuschagne set the foundation, Travis Head proved to be a thorn in India's flesh once again with a belligerent century. Having gained a significant lead, the three seamers ran through India's top order. Cummins and Co. need not try anything funky. Even though there's been less movement on offer for the Aussies compared to their counterparts, they have been more accurate with their lines and lengths to trouble the Indian batters. Can they wrap up the proceedings quickly and make it 1-1? Let's find out. Action coming your way shortly.... 

14:00 Local Time, 03:30 GMT, 09:00 IST | Day three: Dancing down the track and slapping over the off-side thrice, a reverse hook over the slip cordon and a tumbling pull shot. That's how Rishabh Pant struck his five boundaries yesterday even while his team continued to falter in the twilight session. Nitish Reddy, the other unbeaten batsman, also hit three boundaries (one edged through the slips, a picture-perfect cover drive and a wild shot off the final ball of the day). So, even though India have their backs against the wall, we could probably expect these two to take the aggressive route once again. Will it work against a potent bowling attack? Their first target would be to get those 29 runs without losing a wicket and then try to set a somewhat respectable target. It ain't gonna be easy though.
