So Ishant Sharma will be on a hat-trick in the second innings. No wagging from Australia's last three wickets this time, although the Paine-Cummins stand has taken them to a very handy total. India will have the heavy roller you would think, but it will now be all eyes on what the Aussie quicks do with the new ball. The India openers will have a tricky period to bat before lunch.
Babel: "There might be some technical flaws in Rishabh Pant's keeping regarding movement and positioning, but no complaints about his catching! :)" Except the ones he drops.
I'm sure the Australia quicks won't need to be told, but how those last four wickets fell just reinforces the importance of pitching the ball up

Ishant returns
Angad: "Really poor bowling by India. Throughout the test they have been more towards the shorter side when everyone has been harping about bowling full here. Even now Shami is bowling short. Really poor I must say"
