4.6 to KL Rahul, clipped straight to forward square! Konstas takes the catch easily. 139.5kph half volley on leg stump, he clips it neatly off the pads but doesn't keep it down and just chips it straight to the fielder. Konstas takes it chest high. 11/1 62.4 to RA Jadeja, given lbw! Jadeja reviews. 140kph, rocket tailing into the front shin. Jadeja is in trouble. No bat involved as his head fell trying to whip around his front pad. Ball tracking has it smashing the middle of middle! Terrible review. Jadeja departs plumb lbw and takes a review with him. 134/7 68.2 to M Prasidh Krishna, a length ball angling towards the batter. Prasidh goes aerial once again but this time he ends up hitting it down the throat of deep-backward square leg. Konstas takes it comfortably. India lose their ninth wicket. 168/9 See all photos
Pat Cummins	15.2	4	37	2	2.41	74	3	1	0	1
65.6 to Washington Sundar, short of length, angling down the leg side. Washington goes for the pull but looks like he has missed it. Carey thinks otherwise and appeals for a caught behind. The umpire is unmoved but Australia want to review it. There is a bit of murmur on Snicko as the ball went past the gloves. But there has been murmur throughout and it's not easy to distinguish noise from signal. The third umpire is looking for a visual deflection to be fully sure. Once again, it's not clear and we are back to Snicko replays. After multiple viewings, the third umpire decides there was some glove involved and asks the on-field umpire to change his decision. Washington drags himself off the field. 148/8 72.2 to JJ Bumrah, an easy catch for Starc at midwicket and India's innings comes to an end. Short ball from Cummins. Bumrah top-edges the pull and the ball just balloons up. 185/10 See all photos
Scott Boland	20	8	31	4	1.55	101	2	0	0	1
7.4 to YBK Jaiswal, taken by Webster at third slip! Webster has buckets and that ball disappeared. Boland does it again. Pitching outside leg on a good length, Jaiswal tries to push against the angle, it nips across, takes a thick edge and Webster swallows his first Test catch moving knee high to his right. 17/2 31.3 to V Kohli, Webster snaffles this at third slip! Kohli falls poking outside off again! Good length, fifth stump, nipping away and climbing, he pushes hard at it from the crease, gets a thick edge that flies quickly to third and Webster moves sharply to left to take a beauty in two hands diving away. 72/4 56.4 to RR Pant, miscued to mid-on! Boland does it again! A first short ball in a long time from Boland, but it wasn't that short outside off, Pant tried to pull but it hurried him, he got it off the toe of the bat and it floated to Cummins at mid-on!. 120/5 56.5 to K Nitish Kumar Reddy, Smith pouches this at second! Boland on fire! Good length, sixth stump, it hits the seam and climbs away at 135kph, he prods at it away from his body, it runs off the face like slips catching practice and Smith opens up his body to his right a pouches it with two hands. 120/6 See all photos

Nathan Lyon	6	2	19	1	3.16	28	2	0	0	0
24.6 to Shubman Gill, what was that?! Moments before the lunch break Gill comes out of his crease but fails to get to the pitch of the ball. He then looks to defend it with hard hands. The ball goes across him, takes an outside edge and Smith pouches it at slip. 57/3 See all photos

2.6 to UT Khawaja, taken at second slip! Bumrah has the last laugh. But he doesn't celebrate. Instead, he turns around to give Konstas a stare. Coming to the delivery, it was full around off but Khawaja played it from the back foot. He looked to defend and got an outside edge that went around knee height to Rahul's left. He grabbed it with both hands, resulting in wild celebration, especially from Kohli. 9/1 6.2 to M Labuschagne, huge appeal for caught behind given not out! India are certain and review. There was a noise. Good length, this nips and bounces as Labuschagne is squared up on the crease and Snicko shows a spike as the ball is next to the bat! Decision is overturned. Labuschagne is out. He is slow to walk off as per usual but doesn't argue. He knows he nicked that. 15/2 See all photos
Mohammed Siraj	16	2	51	3	3.18	72	6	0	0	1
11.2 to SJ Konstas, edged to gully! Jaiswal pouches it! Siraj deserved that. Another perfect outswinger tempting the drive, this a little fuller and tighter, Konstas drives but doesn't go with the swing, tries to go too straight, gets a thick edge that flies low to Jaiswal and he holds this nicely after having a nightmare in the field in Melbourne. 35/3 11.5 to TM Head, edged and taken at second slip! Brilliant bowling! Better length on middle, Head wipes across the line closing the face, it doesn't swing but holds it's line, he gets a thick edge and it's pouched easily at second slip. 39/4 50.6 to SM Boland, Bowled 'im. A length ball that keeps coming in with the angle. Boland pushes at it, but ends up leaving a gap between bat and pad. The ball sneaks through it and hits the stumps. India take a lead of four runs. 181/10 See all photos
Prasidh Krishna	15	3	42	3	2.80	68	4	1	0	0
27.1 to SPD Smith, and he strikes straightaway. A length ball around off, just leaving Smith who moves across to defend but all he gets is an outside edge. Rahul makes no mistakes at second slip. A huge wicket for India at the stroke of lunch. 96/5 37.5 to AT Carey, bowled him! Fuller and through the gat again! Same delivery but a perfect length, Carey leaves a gate between bat and pad wide enough for a truck to drive through, it crashes into middle and off. Excellent bowling. 137/6 47.2 to BJ Webster, extra bounce does the trick. Prasidh picks up his third. Short of length outside off. Webster didn't expect it to bounce this high, ended up pushing at it tentatively. The ball took the outside edge and flew to the right of Jaiswal at gully. He went airborne and grabbed it with both hands. 166/9
Nitish Kumar Reddy	7	0	32	2	4.57	27	4	0	0	0
44.6 to PJ Cummins, Reddy strikes! Kohli takes the catch at first slip. Short of length, just outside off. Cummins pushes at it and gets an outside edge. It goes to Kohli's left who takes it with both hands, just below the chest height. Australia seven down and still trailing by 23. 162/7 46.1 to MA Starc, Reddy strikes again. Two in two for him. A short ball from around the wicket. Starc pushes at it and gets a thick outside edge. It went low to Rahul at second slip who lunges forward to catch it inches off the ground. Starc is walking back but the umpires want to check it upstairs. And the third umpire doesn't take long to decide that Rahul had his fingers underneath the ball. 164/8

22.2 to RR Pant, and gone! Short and wide, the cut shot was on and Pant went for it. But all he managed was an outside edge and Carey takes a regulation catch. 124/5 34.4 to RA Jadeja, caught behind! Better length and line gets Jadeja! Much fuller, much closer to off, angled it, it just nips away a touch and scratches the edge as he defends half forward and the thin nick is pouched by Carey. 147/7 38.4 to Washington Sundar, bowled through the gate! Fuller length is doing the damage. Angled in, nipping in a touch further, beats the inside edge as he defends on the crease, it brushes the back pad and crashes into middle and off. 156/8
Scott Boland	16.5	5	45	6	2.67	77	3	1	0	0
7.3 to KL Rahul, bowled off the inside edge! Fuller, enticing the drive, it nips in off the seam, Rahul drives on the up, gets a thick inside edge and it crashes into the top of leg!. 42/1 9.5 to YBK Jaiswal, bowled him! Beats the edge again and knocks back the top of off! Angled in full, wobbling seam, pitching on off, straightening, he wipes the bat across the line as it straightens, it touches the back pad and knocks back the top of off! Incredible delivery. 47/2 13.1 to V Kohli, edged and taken at second slip! Catching practice for Smith. Kohli had no interest in leaving anything and he pays the price again. Sixth, almost a seventh stump line, back of a length, nipping and climbing away, he pushes at it from the crease and nicks it waist high to Smith. Kohli yells at himself and punches his leg before departing. 59/3 27.3 to K Nitish Kumar Reddy, Boland picks up his fourth. A length ball around off. Reddy looks to time it over mid-off but the ball hits low on the bat. As a result, there is not enough elevation and Cummins catches it overhead with a small leap to his right. 129/6 39.3 to Mohammed Siraj, taken at first slip! Khawaja is confident it carried. They will check upstairs. It carried easily. Back of a length, sixth stump, nipping away, he jabs at it with no footwork and gets a nick, Smith says still, Khawaja moves forward and takes it just above the turf. No doubt about that one. 156/9 39.5 to JJ Bumrah, bowled him! Boland has six! Bumrah backs away to heave over midwicket, it nipped in a touch and crashes into the top of leg. 157/10 See all photos

Prasidh Krishna	12	0	65	3	5.41	39	6	0	1	0
3.5 to SJ Konstas, Is that the opening India need? An almighty slogs brings about Konstas' downfall. Good length ball on off. He swings for the hills across the line, gets a big top edge that balloons straight up and Washington at mid-off makes no mistake. 39/1 7.6 to M Labuschagne, Catching practice for gully and this is not the first time Labuschagne has fallen in that manner. Back of a length ball outside off, he guides this straight to Jaiswal, who takes a good, sharp catch. Kohli is pumped. And all of sudden, India are back in this. 52/2 9.6 to SPD Smith, And he will remain on 9999 Test runs. This is game on! Banged in short outside off, Smith goes down the track a touch, but the rising ball does him in. Fends at it, gets a thick outside edge and Jaiswal takes a good low catch at gully. The Indians are pumped and why wouldn't they. After what can be described as an awry start, India are right back in this. 58/3 See all photos

SCG pitch for final Australia vs India Test earns 'satisfactory' rating

Cricket Australia calls the rating a "step in the right direction" for surfaces at the venue

India did many good things, but the less-good things outweighed them

India's on-field performance deserves scrutiny, but they were dictated by the decisions they made off the field

'You can't be that soft' - Gambhir responds to Australia's intimidation accusation

"I've been really impressed with how he's gone about it," Pat Cummins says of newcomer Sam Konstas, who was involved in a couple of scraps in the last two Tests

Konstas, Webster and Boland, the unusual suspects in Australia's moment of glory

After Boland's six-for, Konstas' early charge and Webster's assuredness took Australia over the line on a lively Sydney surface

Do Kohli and Rohit have a future in Test cricket? 'It's up to them,' says Gambhir

Gambhir makes it clear that he wants Test hopefuls to take domestic cricket seriously, and play the Ranji Trophy if they are not committed elsewhere
