5.15pm A quick addendum to that Chahal wicket from Sid Monga: "The act of making a catch shall start from the time when the ball first comes into contact with a fielder's person and shall end when a fielder obtains complete control over both the ball and his/her own movement." He reckons Cummins wasn't in control of that catch as he completed it

Shikhar Dhawan tells the broadcasters: "Another good innings, and I really enjoyed timing the ball. The wicket was really nice, and I took calculated risks. They were bowling well, and I knew I could get the runs. I was happy my smart work paid off. Of course, when you put so much of hard work, you want outcomes your way, but sometimes it doesn't. I just think if I am doing enough, then it's good. (On batting with Rohit) With these matches, we didn't get a good start. Today we were just communicating very well. We both were in the 90s at the same time. He's a class batsman, and it's about saying the right things at the right time. It's goog to see another 150-run partnership for the team. I liked when I stepped out and hit above the covers. I really liked that one. It's a good surface to bat on, but the advantage is we have 350 on the board, and Australia will have to go from ball one. The bowlers will have that leeway, and the wicket will get slower once it gets older. There should also be some reverse."

As you would expect from an innings of 358 for 9, there are lots of talking points, all of which are available in Sid Monga's report, which should be up soon. Catch you with the reply soon enough

Cummins to Bumrah, SIX, length, and he has swung this around, and cleared midwicket! What a shot, and Kohli is jumping up and down with excitement inside the dressing room. Bumrah walks off with a wide grin, and pumps fists with Kuldeep Yadav as he does so. 600 strike rate for the no.11...not too shabby, eh?

Can Cummins pick up a 6-wicket haul with the last ball of this innings?

Cummins to Chahal, OUT, FIVE for Cummins! Bangs this in short, and Chahal is squared up as he looks to drive this back. It pops back up, and Cummins takes it, but Dharmasena this time goes up to the third ump, and gives not out as the soft signal. The replays are conclusive though. All clean. Good effort this from Cummins on what is not a helpful pitch by any stretch of imagination

YS Chahal c & b Cummins 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Pradeep: "Despite his performances, Vijay Shankar seems too orthodox to be a finisher. Neither does he look like a match winning no.4, which India are looking for. His bowling skills also are not trusted by the captain. Altogether it's very hard to have in XI for WC at any position."

Cummins to Kuldeep Yadav, 1 run, short, angles across him, and he pats this towards point

Cummins to Shankar, OUT, short, and he looks to go over midwicket, but cannot clear Glenn Maxwell! Cummins bangs this one into the pitch, and that takes the top edge, and Maxwell holds his shape well at midwicket and takes a steepling catch. Useful little hand has come to an end, that has pushed India over the minimum score India would have wanted to post today

V Shankar c Maxwell b Cummins 26 (15b 1x4 2x6) SR: 173.33

Cummins to Shankar, 1 wide, length ball, down the leg side, and he looks to flick this, but it is called wide

Rahul Raghuwans: "First time India batted past 48.2 overs this series."
