Rishabh Pant 25(38)
49.1
Lyon to Pant, out Caught by Paine!! Umpire Dharmasena makes a late decision to raise his finger. Australia were always going to review this even if he didn't, they were convinced. Lovely off-break from Lyon, slants it in from round the wicket and then turns it away. It didn't matter how far forward Pant got in his defence, he wouldn't have been able to smother it, that's how good the length was. Takes a feather through to Paine. Pant's little joyride comes to an end. Pant c Paine b Lyon 25(38) [4s-2 6s-1]
48.6
Hazlewood to Pujara, no run, sharp bouncer from Hazlewood which has this tendency to catch many a batsman off guard. This one's a little bit high so even though he's surprised by it, Pujara's able to jerk his head underneath
47.5
Lyon to Pant, no run, dangerously pokes it with his hands to point. He's flat-footed in the crease as Lyon tosses this up outside off, any extra bite off the surface and he would've been in trouble

Starc to Pant, no run, full and curving in a bit towards leg stump, Pant gets struck on the pads as he misses the flick
40.4
Starc to Pant, 2 runs, not sure how to define this stroke! Came down track for the flick and got a leading edge that somehow went through the gap at cover. Another brace
40.3
Starc to Pant, FOUR, edged but through the cordon! Pant is throwing everything possible at it. Widish full ball and he goes for a big drive, squirts a fat edge that flies wide of second slip. Flurry of runs for India all of a sudden but I'm sure the Aussies won't mind this. Another wicket and they are into the lower order
40.2
Starc to Pant, SIX, adventurous stuff from Pant! Intentions clear from him, he will just play his shots, irrespective of the situation or bowler. Fuller ball on the pads, he just picks it up with a drop kick over deep backward square leg. Used Starc's pace to perfection there but there was certainbly risk involved with fine leg in place
40.1
Starc to Pant, 2 runs, in the air...just over mid-on! Pant, like Rohit, seems to be in a hurry. Tries to loft this down the ground but was nowhere near the pitch of it. Got the timing horribly wrong but got lucky in the end
39.6
Lyon to Pujara, no run, lobs up off the pads and Lyon gets forward to take it himself, no bat on it though. Pujara came down the track to defend but couldn't get to the pitch
38.5
Starc to Pant, no run, beats the edge! Starc has a wry smile on his face and has a few words to say against Pant who doesn't bother looking back. Fullish ball with a hint of outward shape, Pant went for the loose drive without any footwork

Lyon to Pujara, no run, Lyon is bowling like a dream here. The batsmen are trying to use their feet but cannot get to the pitch at all. Pujara fails to do so once more after coming down the pitch, gets pinged on the pad
