Konstas is sucking him in here.

Another game any one of those is out. It’s worse than Marnus constantly being dropped.

And imo he was out lbw. It’s gone his way today.

27 overs left.

How about now?

Australia have a sniff - you can feel the pressure here

India are a big fan of drama, a draw is much more famous if you’re 7 or 8 down opposed to 3 or 4

It’s sort of amusing that the inspiration for this sudden turn in the game was an extremely part time spin bowler.

Sometimes that’s all that is needed though.

70k on day 5 is simply amazing.
Melbourne delivers again

Lyon off to change his shoes

It often turns out that way.

It’s going to take something special for India to save this game now.

Jaiswal has faced 32 overs and played and missed about 30 times. No edges yet.
Konstas getting the crowd involved. Good stuff.

Crowds really are watching Konstas. Even under a helmet in close he is still getting the crowd up and going.

India’s had something special already - Jaiswal has played and missed more than he has hit and should have been out LBW.

That decision is the ‘something special’ that might save you the test.

Really think we need one before the new ball.
And I’m saying this in the hopes that Tests being a fickle Mistress gives me four.
