44/1 AT DRINKS, IT’S ANYBODY’S FOR THE TAKING

By the 20th over, Pujara is on 2 runs off 35 balls, while Shubman Gill is on 35 for 64. India’s run rate is 2.2 at the end of a tight first half of the session for both sides. Gill continues to inspire hopes of a turnaround over the next few overs as he reaches his second fifty (90 balls) of the tour with a back-foot punch to covers off Hazlewood, pushing India to 63/1. Gill then goes after Starc, pulls a short ball behind square for his second six of the innings. He follows up with back-to-back fours. In the 33rd over, Australian bowlers begin to go on the offensive. Cummins, in his second over of his second spell, unleashes a thunderbolt at Pujara; hits the left side of his helmet. In the next over, Cummins hits Pujara with bouncers twice — once on the back and once on the chest. GILL FALLS JUST BEFORE DRINKS: With India at 132, Lyon then lures Gill outside the off-stump with a flighted delivery. The edge is taken by Steve Smith, leaving India shaky again
