    19.2 gottim, Jadeja gets a crucial, crucial breakthrough, and you could say it was coming, because he had a big lbw appeal turned down in his previous over too. This time Konstas is on the front foot, looking to defend, and Jadeja gets him in trademark Jadeja manner, turning it less than he expects, sliding it past his inside edge, and smacking his front pad. Gough has no hesitation in raising his finger this time, and Hawkeye shows it hitting leg stump. No review from Konstas. What an innings this has been. What a selection too. Australia took a chance, Konstas took a lot of chances. It may not have come off on another day, but on this day it could be game-changing 89/1
    44.1 and he strikes first ball! You may have expected that, because, well, Bumrah, but you may not have expected it to happen in quite this manner. Khawaja has had a few dicey moments with his pull today, often from going hard at balls that aren't quite short enough. This one's not quite that. It's angling into his body, at about waist height, and maybe he's into the shot too early, and ends up popping it straight to Rahul at midwicket. Off the toe end 154/2
    65.1 taken at mid-off! Labuschagne has given it away. Came down the pitch, connected with a skimming drive and doesn't have the height to clear the field. Neat catch above the head by Kohli 237/3

    66.3 bowled him, Head is out shouldering arms!!!!!!! All those exclamation marks because it's not only an early dismissal in a series he's dominated, but also an entirely uncharacteristic one. Perfect length to hit the top of off, perfect line to induce the leave, and wicked inward seam movement with a ball that's into its 67th over. May have left it expecting it to bounce over? Misjudgment of length maybe? Or of line, because it was that tight, in-between, confounding line too? Terrific delivery 240/4
    68.6 got him, Bumrah has ripped through Australia's middle order in a hurry! What a spell this is. But again, Australia lose a wicket to an aggressive shot. It's not quite a straightforward pull ball, because it's not quite genuinely short, and he's dragging it from outside off, and I think the ball may have stopped a little, because he's through the shot early and ends up edging it behind off the outside edge, very near the toe end. Kind of similar to the Khawaja dismissal in that sense. Which suggests this is a spongy-bounce kind of surface 246/5
    82.1 and he strikes first ball with an absolute beauty. Hits a length hard in the corridor, and he gets it to bounce disconcertingly and also leave Carey. The line is so close to off stump that Carey can't pull his bat away quickly enough, and the ball kisses his edge through to Pant. Gets his first wicket with the 31st false shot he's induced today. Hasn't had to wait as long as he did in the first innings at the Gabba, where it took him until his 53rd. 299/6
