Australia lead by 339 runs. That is one of the great bowling performances from Jasprit Bumrah. He has given India a chance, even if it's an outside one. He just kept coming and coming. Amazing stamina. But Australia have a big lead, thanks to Marnus Labuschagne, Pat Cummins, Scott Boland and Lyon. Now it's over to the bowlers. My sums say it's 340 in 92 overs.

"The roar of that wicket sounded like the Wankhede, not the MCG," says Alex. He also adds that it's the light roller (rather than the Light Roller) being used. "India opting not to have the heavy one on for a second time this morning," Alex says.

Bumrah to Lyon, OUT, cleaned him up! Five for Bumrah. Lyon keeps his most-runs-without-a-fifty. Full and straight, hint of shape in, Lyon goes for the drive and is beaten through the gate

Here's Bumrah

Alex: "The more runs Australia get the longer they can set attacking fields. Just 5-10 overs here could guarantee a day of attacking fields." That's another valid view, yep. Still reckon you need to be confident defending 330-odd on a final day wicket

Mohammed Siraj to Boland, no run, beaten this time, shape and movement, nice delivery, carries well through to Pant

Pat Cummins will surely have factored in how many overs he will be able to get with the second new ball if it's needed late today
