11:27 (IST) Dec 26

OUT! Bumrah gets his man, Lyon (20), next ball. The Aussie tailender asks for a review, but to no avail. The on-field decision is upheld. Australia 191/9. Bumrah one short of a five-for.

11:25 (IST) Dec 26

Lyon shows his willow-wielding skills by pulling Bumrah for a SIX, and follows it up with another pull, this time for a FOUR.

11:19 (IST) Dec 26

Point, Pragyan.

Till now #India has not missed #ViratKohli the captain. Hope they don’t miss #virat the batsman! It will be superb… https://t.co/sT35ysORg5

11:15 (IST) Dec 26

End of 70 overs. Drinks break. Australia 177/8. A minimum of 20 overs left in the day. Minus two from that for innings break if Australia are bowled out.

11:11 (IST) Dec 26

Nathan Lyon and Pat Cummins on the crease, and the latter is no bunny with the bat. And Cummins shows that with that loft over mid-wicket for a four. Australia 171/8.

11:05 (IST) Dec 26

Last 10 overs: 20 runs and 3 wickets. Australia falling apart.

11:04 (IST) Dec 26

WICKET ALERT! Bumrah pitches one short, Starc takes him on with a hook but caught at deep fine-leg by Siraj for 7. Australia 164/8.

11:00 (IST) Dec 26

Nice whip by Starc through mid-wicket for a welcome four. And the Aussie left-hander flashes at the next one from Bumrah. The thick edge flies over slips for a couple. Australia 164/7.

10:58 (IST) Dec 26

Here's how the seventh Australian wicket fell

Wicket No. 7. Paine (13) caught at leg-slip, as Ashwin takes his third wicket of the innings. Well taken by Vihari. India on fire at the MCG. Australia 155/7.

10:41 (IST) Dec 26

It stays OUT after the review. Siraj rewarded with his second wicket for consistently asking questions. Green departs, LBW for 12. Australia 155/6.

10:39 (IST) Dec 26

That's out! LBW given by the umpire. But Green goes for the review after consulting his skipper at the other end.

10:33 (IST) Dec 26

Edge, through the slips, four. Bemused Siraj looks at the giant screen to watch the reply. Tim Paine has a "good-ball" look on his face. Australia's laborious 150 comes up.

Ashwin goes up in caught-behind appeal against Green, but Pant joined in only as an after-thought. The umpire, too, didn't hear a nick, so shakes his head. Ashwin walks back to the top of his bowling mark with a puzzled look. Australia 144/5.

10:18 (IST) Dec 26

Third umpire's verdict

NOT OUT! Tim Paine (6*) gets the benefit of doubt for that missing in-between-frames moment. Australia 143/5.

10:11 (IST) Dec 26

Mix-up, appeal for run-out at the batting end. Signal for the third-umpire.

10:10 (IST) Dec 26

A lot of chirping into the Aussie ears by the close-in fielders, especially by wicketkeeper Pant. Australia 141/5 in 54 overs.

10:02 (IST) Dec 26

Cameron Green (6*) and Tim Paine (0*) have walked out to resume what has so far been a battling day for Australia. Ashwin to begin proceedings in the final session of the day.
