Starc to Yadav, OUT! Brutal is the word. Starc gives the Indians a taste of their own medicine. Yesterday, Shami and Bumrah were aiming at the batsman's head. Today, it is Starc's turn to give it back. Yadav backs away to hit this away but the bowler follows him and the ball is aimed at Umesh's head. The bouncer is too good for the tailender and all he can do is just hang his bat out in front of his face. The ball goes off the top of the handle and pops up back to Starc for what probably could be one of the easiest catches of his career. Australia just 2 away now!

M Starc to Yadav, Yadav wanted to hit that to Melbourne it seems! Getting hit maybe initiated this. Makes room to another bouncer and goes for a huge swipe and misses completely.

Score137 - 7

N Lyon to Sharma, Woah! Turn and bounce and almost had Ishant off the first ball. Well outside off, Ishant wants to feel the ball but misses. Paine goes up in an appeal almost instantly and then the others follow suit. The umpire wants nothing to do with it though.

08:41 (IST) Dec 18

Ishant Sharma is in at number 9.

N Lyon to Pant, OUT! What a stunning catch from Handscomb. Pant departs. It was nicely tossed up by Lyon on middle, Pant charges down the track and tries to whack it over mid-wicket but hits his inside half of the bat and the ball flies towards Handscomb at short mid-wicket who dives full-length to his left and takes a brilliant catch. That must surely be curtains for India now. Australia need 3 wickets more to level the series.

Overs52.5
Score133 - 6

M Starc to Yadav, A loud appeal but the umpire is unmoved! The ball is short of a length and seems to have landed in line. It keeps low and Umesh who is jumping thinking that the ball will bounce, is rapped on the pads. But the impact seems to be outside off and the ball seems to be missing off. Probably what made the decision go in favor of the batsman. That was quick, 142.6 kph to be precise.
