2.08pm Excellent comeback from India's bowlers today, but Australia would have been thrilled if they'd been offered 469 before the start of the game. That's a sizeable first-innings total on this pitch, where there's still quite a bit of sideways movement apart from uncertain bounce. And having watched India bowl here, they'll have a decent idea of what lengths have worked on this pitch. Alex will be here shortly to bring you the start of India's response.
PJ Cummins c Rahane b Mohammed Siraj 9 (82m 34b 0x4 0x6) SR: 26.47
Now Pujara drops back to deep midwicket.
Five fielders out on the rope for Cummins. Deep backward point, deep third, long leg, deep square leg, long-on.
Mak: "Excellent performance from Australia. Surviving more than 120 overs on this pitch in first innings is not an easy task to do."

That was Siraj's 50th Test wicket, by the way. In walks Scott Boland.
Dick: "Carey an enigma, but 48 priceless runs to the Aussie cause. Cummins can set attacking fields well into tomorrow afternoon. India on the ropes, literally and figuratively!"
Abinash Das: "When India scored 466 last time when they played England at this venue, one batting performance that often goes under the radar is Shardul Thakur scoring 60. Team India would need his heroics with the bat too in this summit clash."
NM Lyon b Mohammed Siraj 9 (18m 25b 1x4 0x6) SR: 36.00
Siraj returns.
