Very interesting
The Paine-Kohli chatter continues until eventually umpire Chris Gaffaney tells Paine to stop. "You guys are captains."
Australia 4-171
The fifty partnership is up. Still no wickets lost today for Australia. Terrific effort from this pair in difficult conditions.

Paine was beaten by a low one in the last over and the broadcast microphones have Paine telling Kohli "I'm no good. We can't all be the king!" Self-deprecating humour should appeal to Australian fans.

Finally some freedom. They're able to milk the spinner a bit, and the lead is up to 211.

Bumrah back to replace Yadav. There's an appeal for lbw to Paine, but the captain managed to get some bat on it.

Spin to win…Hanuma Vihari replaces Ishant for his first bowl of the day. The offie gets one to keep low. Pant is right in the game now, his chirp seems to lift when Vihari has a bowl.

Yadav bowls way too short and Pant needs to soar like Leo Barry to stop four byes. Khawaja then drives nicely to keep things ticking along.
Australia 4-157
Ishant gets one to keep low and has Khawaja guessing. This is a tough gig for Australia's No. 3 but eventually he gets to his 14th Test half-century with a flick off the pads. It's his slowest, coming from 155 balls. The lead is 200 too.
Australia 4-152
Almost a mix-up as Khawaja is turned back. Yadav keeps testing Paine's finger. And Khawaja has edged to 49.
Australia 4-151
The umpires check the ball, and it's gone out of shape. So they've replaced it.
The "new old ball" works well for India. Ishant gets one cross-seaming and landing on the crack. He beats Paine, and it was agonisingly close to off stump too.
