That's a hefty total for Australia - 474 feels a lot on this pitch. There's help for quicks and spinners. This will be a challenge for India's top order, and we wait confirmation on who will open. The innings was set up by Sam Konstas' remarkable first knock in Tests then Steven Smith compiled one of his most fluent centuries since the golden run in 2019. It was largely Bumrah or bust again for India, although Akash worked hard and Jadeja was tidy. Have to question the balance of the side, though, when Reddy and Sundar bowl only have bit-part roles.

Bumrah to Lyon, OUT, appeal for lbw and given...Lyon walks, but also reviews! Short of a length, nipped back, might have kept low as well. Height could be an issue...will everyone have to come back to the middle? No, umpire's call on clipping the bails. Bumrah saves himself from a century
