5.10pm Not what Australia would've liked to finish on at 175 for 1. But they've given themselves a competitive score nonetheless on a slow and low Kotla deck. Having gotten into a tangle after Khawaja's century, things could've unravelled very quickly for Australia, but for that partnership between Jhye Richardson and Pat Cummins. By no means will this be an easy chase. Don't go too far away. Dan Brettig's mid-innings bulletin should be up soon. Will dew kick in? We'll soon find out.
Usman Khawaja chats with Star Sports: "Nice to get a competitive total, lost a few wickets but the partnership between Cummins and Jhye was really good. When I was out there, I was thinking 280. We're not too far away from there, yes the wickets killed our momentum a little, but I hope we have enough. The wicket's wearing, hopefully it will keep wearing. We still have to bowl well. If we do well, we can have a good second half.
