India vs Australia Highlights, 3rd Test, Day 4: India 98/2 at stumps, need 309 more to win

15 wicketless overs for Bumrah, but with Australia going for some quick runs at this stage, it's a chance for the Indian quick to create some chances maybe? Easier said than done though. Australia lead by 314. Don't see them batting beyond tea today.

More runs for Australia. Pokes at it and the ball takes the outside edge to go wide of slip and into the rope. Four boundary for young Cameron Green.

OUT! That's a big wicket as Ashwin strikes to remove the dangerous Smith. India take a brilliant review. Sharp turn from Ashwin and the ball hits Smith on the pads. Initially given not out by the umpire, Ashwin was convinced it was out and immediately went for the review. Even though there was enough turn, the ball was hitting the wickets: Three reds. India retain the review. Smith shakes his head, but he has to depart for 81. Australia 208/5.

Well, it's been a boundary fest three overs into the second innings. Smith glances that one towards the fine-leg boundary. Of course, some lacklustre bowling is helping them.

He was pretty sedate in the first session but not anymore. Ashwin slides on to Smith's pads but the batsman brings out a powerful sweep shot for another four. That's 6, 4, 4 for Smith in the last six balls he's faced. Australia now motoring along.

Another shot ball and another hook. Only this time, the ball stays along the ground and goes to the ropes. Poor start from Siraj in the second session. He'd bowled so well in the match so far, keeping things tight before this but not the most disciplined start after the interval.

First six of the match for Steve Smith and it comes right after lunch. Short from Siraj and Smith brings out the hook shot. The ball takes the outside edge and flies into the crowd. The message seems clear. Get many runs as possible and put India in.

Australia resume batting in the afternoon session miles ahead at the moment and in total control. Will the next two hours bring joy or distress for India? Let's find out. Mohammed Siraj to start and he will be bowling to Cameron Green.

Even though India will be batting last, Australia wouldn't undermine the quality in that batting line-up. Given that, Australia would set India a target of at least 350, but with so much time left in the match, do not count out the chances of Australia going beyond. That is, if India can get some wickets quickly post lunch.

There may be time left before India bat in the fourth innings, but if it comes down to it, will Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja bat? Reports suggest Pant looks good enough to bat, but there are serious questions over Jadeja. He has suffered a dislocated finger and has been ruled out of the final game in Brisbane.

End of first session. Australia take lunch at 182/4 on Day 4, lead India by 276 runs. (Steve Smith 58*, Cameron Green 20*). India started the session on a forgettable note with Hanuma Vihari dropping a catch of Labuschagne off the bowling of Bumrah. But it wouldn't hurt them much as Navdeep Saini opened the door a little for India with the wickets of Labuschagne and Wade in quick succession. But from there, Smith and Green came together with the former Australia captain scoring a fifty. Australia's lead nearing 300 as they continue to bat India out of the game.

Siraj gets the ball to angle in to Green and it raps Green on the pads. Huge appeal from the bowler and Saha from behind the stumps, but the umpire turns it down. Probably going a bit down leg. Also, height is a question since Green is tall and the ball hit him above the knee roll. Australia 180/4, lead India by 274. Last over before lunch coming up.

After being dismissed for a duck, Cameron Green looks a lot more assured in the second dig. Plays a glorious straight drive that brings him a third four. He's been talked about highly in the Australian circuit given his stellar record in First-Class cricket and he's showing why.

Two runs off Ashwin's 16th over, squares off Smith off the last ball. Tries to play it on the leg-side but gets a leading edge. No harm done. Australia 176/4, lead India by 270 runs.

India have been disciplined in the last few overs giving just nine runs in the last seven overs. The last boundary was hit in the 53rd over and we are now into the 62nd. Ashwin and Siraj are bowling some tight lines but India need more wickets at this point.

As match referee David Boon watches on, Steve Smith has surpassed him as Australia's ninth-leading run-scorer in Tests. Boon had 7422 runs 107 Tests, while Smith, playing his 76th Test, has 7424 runs and counting. Imagine the stats he is going to end with when Smith is done.

Just not the right line. Darts the ball outside leg with Smith playing the paddle sweep towards fine leg to collect a single. Ashwin's form mirrors that of India's bowling has been the story of the series to far. Each time he's gotten wickets, India's bowling has stood out and vice-versa.

Siraj strays on the pads and Green flicks the ball effortlessly to collect a couple of runs. Siraj follows it with a tempting ball outside off, to which Green produces a strong drive as the ball takes the edge and goes to Rahane at gully. Australia get to 170/4, their lead extending to 264 as we enter the final half hour of the session.

With the lead already 260, it looks like India will have a mountain to climb. Only once have they gotten past 300 in this series.

Of the four Australian wickets that have fallen, Wriddhiman Saha has had a role in three of them. The record for the most catches in an innings by an Indian wicketkeeper is six - held by MS Dhoni and Rishabh Pant each. What if Saha was to somehow affect four more dismissals but just because he's a substitute, it won't even count.

A century in the first innings and he follows it with a fifty here in the second. Welcome back Steve Smith, we'd been expecting you. Pulls a short ball from Bumrah to deep square leg and takes the single. Celebrates the feat by offering a fist bump to his partner.

Overpitched from Saini. Green's eyes light up and he caresses it between mid off and extra cover for a crunching boundary. Second four for Green and Australia on the charge here, their lead is over 250 now.

Bumrah induces the outside edge of Green's bat but the ball flies wide of slips as he goes for the drive, goes for FOUR. Next over, Saini gets Smith to flick off his pads and the ball goes to leg gully where Shubman Gill puts in the dive but gets to the it on one bounce.

The odd ball takes off. Saini pitches it on good length and it surprisingly takes off, hitting Smith on the bat maker's logo. Surprises the Australian batsman and rightly so. We haven't seen Indian pacers generate much bounce of this surface as compared their Australian counterpart.

OUT! Navdeep Saini strikes again for India, Matthew Wade has to go early, his torrid time continues in this series. It was the perfect delivery from the debutant, it on around off stump, Wade had to play at it because of the angle from around the wicket but it just straightened and bounced enough to get the shoulder off the bat and Saha makes no mistake.
