Australia v India live: Visitors bowled out for 283 as Lyon snares five wickets

50 run lead for Australia

India are very exuberant at the moment. Really testing Finch's technique here. A little bit of swing, some movement off the pitch. Makes for great viewing. The right-hander cover drives for a couple of runs to get off the mark. He then edges a good length ball through the slips for four. Take 'em any way you can! A half shout to finish the over. Australia 0-7 (Finch 6, Harris 1), lead by 50 runs. 

 

Terrific from the 'GOAT'

Here are some highlights of Lyon's five wicket haul.

Harris and Finch out in the middle

Harris and Finch successfully navigate their way through the first over from Ishant Sharma. Kohli having plenty to say to the openers. "Don't give us an opening now," says the skipper. Cue laughter from A.Gilchrist. Ball hooping around early. One comes back in so much it crunches into Finch's ribs as he shoulders arms. Australia 0-1 (Finch 0, Harris 1), lead by 44 runs. 

Mitch Johnson weighs into Kohli catch

Stir that pot, Mitch. *Gets popcorn* 

Pant finally goes!

Starc has taken a decent catch at long-on. Lyon picks up his fourth wicket as Pant tries to slog one over the fence. He goes for 36 off 50 balls. Top dig. One more wicket to go for the Australians. India 9-279, trail by 47 runs. 

India's trail by 50 runs

Partnership now between these gentlemen is 22. An absolute delight to watch Lyon bowl here too. He's even thrown in an armball... something we don't see often from the off-spinner. Yadav happy to plonk the front foot down the pitch and knock them back to the bowler. India 8-276 (Yadav 3, Pant 34), trail by 50.

Pant goes whack

Pant hits Lyon for a four over mid-wicket and then a maximum back over his head. Clearly unsure how long Yadav is going to be able to stick around for, Pant is giving it the long handle. India 8-271 (Yadav 2, Pant 30), trail by 55 runs. 

 

Starc cranking it up

Yadav continues to look uncomfortable, even more so against Starc. The last delivery of the over was 151.9km/h. Serious wheels from Starc at the moment. India 8-261 (Yadav 2, Pant 20), trail by 65 runs. 

Here's more on the Kohli dismissal from our man in Perth, the great Andrew Wu. 

100 overs up

India trail by 66 runs. Yadav battling here. One would think Mitchell Starc isn't too far away from getting a trundle. And as I say that, Starc is warming the hammies up and will have a crack at wrapping this up quick smart. 8-260

Lyon has the ball on a string

Ball coming beautifully out of the hand from Lyon. Super tight areas. India 8-258, trail by 68 runs.  

More reaction to the Kohli dismissal...
