59.5 Lyon to Dhawan, OUT, what a soft way to get out and fall out short of 200. Clarke has just seen him jab at balls and pushed one of the covers to silly point. He pushes hard in defence at a length ball, and Cowan takes the catch at silly point. Off the middle of the bat. Almost like a sweet dream is over for Dhawan. Added just two today, but what a knock this has been. Vijay shakes his hand before he walks off the field
S Dhawan c Cowan b Lyon 187 (174b 33x4 2x6) SR: 107.47
65.3 Lyon to Vijay, FOUR, quietly, in the background, Vijay has brought up a special hundred himself. His third against Australia, and two in two Tests. Down the wicket to chip this wide of long-on for four. The dressing room stands tall, as do the 50 people in the ground
94.1 Smith to Tendulkar, OUT, Smith gets a wicket first up. Tendulkar falls just before lunch. He had pulled the shutters down long ago, but he won;t be there to bat on the other side of lunch
SR Tendulkar c Cowan b Smith 37 (81b 5x4 0x6) SR: 45.67
101.1 Starc to Vijay, OUT, finally Starc swings the ball on this tour and gets him an lbw. Vijay has not seen the ball swing all series and he pads up to a length ball on middle. The ball shapes back in, hits him on the knee roll in front of middle. Easy decision. Starc shakes Vijay's hand before he goes off
M Vijay lbw b Starc 153 (317b 19x4 3x6) SR: 48.26
0.3 Kumar to Warner, OUT, doesn't matter whether the previous edge carried or not. Warner has played a horrible shot next ball to make amends for India. Short, widish, he throws his arms at it, and edges it through to the keeper. No ffet there
DA Warner c †Dhoni b Kumar 2 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 66.66
7.5 Kumar to Cowan, OUT, Cowan has been given. Bhuvneshwar gets a second, but this one seems to have pitched outside leg, plus Cowan has got a big stride in. This is slightly harsh, I think. He walks down the track, misses a length ball, but it has pitched half-half - half on the mat, half outside - and it still has a long way to go. Kettleborough is the umpire
EJM Cowan lbw b Kumar 8 (20b 1x4 0x6) SR: 40.00
13.5 Kumar to Smith, OUT, that's a beauty. The off stump has been flattened. Smith plays for the inswinger, and it looks like an inswinger as it leaves the hand. Shaping in, it pitches in front of off, and then after pitching it holds its line to beat the outside edge and knocks the off pole over
SPD Smith b Kumar 5 (19b 0x4 0x6) SR: 26.31
