Bhuvneshwar 1-41(12.3 ov)
88.3
Bhuvneshwar to Lyon, out Caught by Pujara!! The second new ball does the trick. And the Indians will have to come out for a nervous one-over stay. Bhuvneshwar sets it up well with a couple of away swingers before getting one to come back in viciously. Lyon compulsively commits to his flick, barely manages to keep it down, but not before Pujara dives in front of him at short mid-wicket to pouch. Lyon c Pujara b Bhuvneshwar 13(28) [4s-2]

43.3

14.1
Bhuvneshwar to Smith, FOUR, way outside off stump and Smith throws his hands at it. The man at cover gave up immediately as soon as he saw that ball escape past him. The fast outfield does the rest.

12.6
Bhuvneshwar to Smith, no run, short of length delivery outside off stump, Smith defends into the off-side

10.6
Bhuvneshwar to Smith, FOUR, cuts hard, went off the outside edge, but cleared gully quite easily and it raced away for a four. That was a one-day shot to me. He gave it all and it was quite authoritative as well. Big test of captaincy for Rahane. How will he react? How is he going to achieve a breakthrough. Is it time for Ashwin/Jadeja to have a crack?
