That Smith is a reasonable batsman...

mariner4life

@Donsteppa half decent. Might have a future...

NTA

Indian opening pair doing well so far. A few near misses, but nothing consistently threatening from the bowling attack.

This Rahul bloke likes to score. They need to dry him up.

NTA

2 wickets falling today, with another 115 runs or so. Pujara digging in, while Kohli gets out to another slash with no footwork.

Out of touch.

NTA

Still - going to be a proper Test by the looks.

Duluth

Cummins comeback match has been great to watch

4/59 in these conditions is impressive

Hopefully he gets at least five. That would be consecutive 5 wicket hauls 5.5 years apart

NTA

Hopefully he doesn't break himself doing it.

NTA

Cummins off. We haven't taken a wicket today. Pujara is set and racking up records. About to hit 200

NTA

And he gets it. Well played that man

mimic

Mammoth batting effort by Pujara, but I don't think anyone was surprised.. He's the new wall..

NTA

And now we're 2 down for negative runs. Not a good look, but at least one was the night watchman

The Australian top order in this series reminds me of the quip about the NZ Bowling attack with Paddles ("The World XI at one end, and the Ilford Seconds at the other"). Steve Smith and bit part contributors...

Bizarre seeing Warner play poorly.

Really want him to take it to them

He would have been happy before the series if he was told he would average more than double Kohli

Hooroo

@Duluth True that.

The Lesbian must be loving that he can't stop scoring and his opposite can't get a score in his own country. Especially given the verbals

Farken funny to say stuff like that but it is India

Rapido

This is the sort of pitch for India to beat Aus.

Rather the great leveller of a dust bowl.

Which is a shame, as the traditional India pitches like this bore the hell out of me.

Love the dust bowls.

Sucks to have to wait 4 days before it becomes watchable.

Virat needs much better sledges. This was really weak and in the realms of 'I know you are, I said you are, but what am I?'

NTA

It does prove that Maxwell is still a bit of a shunt, tho.

Donsteppa

Smith gone, and 63/4. An innings defeat looms.
