India's lost a wicket each in the 113th, 114th, and 115th overs as their lower order crumbled rapidly. Readers in the Indian subcontinent can watch how Umesh edged Lyon to slip, Ashwin holed out to Head off Lyon, and Bumrah departed for a duck as Lyon bagged a three-for

Rahane has his team in a huddle. Will he open with Bumrah and Umesh or will he prefer Siraj? We'll find out very soon. It's bright and sunny. Good conditions for Joe Burns to spend some time in the middle, rediscover his lost form. He's under pressure, no doubt. Wade too would want a big score.

1.00pm Welcome back, folks. Australia's openers should be out to bat very shortly. Jasprit Bumrah is already warming up, having sent down a few deliveries. Ashwin and Jadeja could be as important as the pacers as the surface wears out.

If some banter, analysis, info-graphics etc is your idea of a second-screen experience, you should dig into Andrew McGlashan's Live Report.

_______________________________________________________________________

We will be back in a bit, stay tuned.

Irfan Rahman: "If Lyon completes the hattrick it will be 3 wickets in 3 different overs. Has it ever happened." -- I think Merv Hughes is the only one to have done so, while Walsh and Lawson's were spread across two innings. Here's the full list of hat-tricks in Test cricket.

Partha: "India would be disappointed. Rahane-Jadeja partnership could have buried the Aussies. "

Karthik: "I think India haven't done justice to the hard work they put on day 2 and have given back some advantage by losing wickets in quick succession. 131 is a good lead but India should have looked to taking the game away from Australia. "

Sabu: "5 wickets down for 32 runs.. Again the run out could be a turning point in this match... Afraid that Aussies are back in the match. India batting again on 5th day would being back the ghosts of Adelaide "

12.25pmAnd that's lunch as well on day three. India started well but once Rahane was run out while going for a quick single, it gave Australia an opening. Starc started a bouncer barrage and Jadeja couldn't last long against that ploy. The tail was never going to wag. India would have had a bigger lead in mind at the start of the day but 131 isn't too bad either. Still it's a comeback from Australia, I would say. If they can post anything above 300 in their second innings, they will have a very good chance of making it 2-0.

Gladwyn : "Will Lyon be on a hat trick in the second innings?" -- yes, Lyon will be on hat-trick in the second innings.
