Toss won by India (decided to bat) Another one bites the dust! Mitchell Marsh has been dismissed for nine runs. Jadeja fired this one onto Marsh's pads who was looking to work it to the on side, got an inside edge, then off the pads, and the ball landed safely into the hands of Rahane at first slip. Australia are now 102 for 6.
Bumrah’s been brilliant today. In fact can’t remember him having a bad day all year! Not just high pace and awkward bounce, but also subtle changes in pace and length that make him dangerous.

Tells you how good this man has been in 2018.
Jasprit Bumrah now has 41 Test wickets at 23.19 in 2018. Only five Indian seamers have ever taken more wickets in a calendar year, and only two (Zaheer Khan in 2010 and Kapil Dev in 1979 and 1983) have done so at a lower average than Bumrah's. #AUSvIND

Australia might have to go back to Sheffield Shield cricket to search for top order batsmen. This is the easiest time ever to break into the Aussie side as a batsman.

It’s that man Bumrah once more. Yet another big shot. Don’t recall Pujara attempting one like that in all his innings. India will, or should, be thinking about the follow on. #AUSvIND

With 182 runs, Travis Head is Australia's leading run-scorer in this series. He's been excellent against the spinners, scoring 63 runs off them without being dismissed. His battle with Jadeja could be key. #AUSvIND

Quality bowling from India, the entire attack playing their part. @Jaspritbumrah93 continues to produce magic, the slower ball and yorker quite often underused in Test cricket. #AUDvIND

Was my first response out loud, that's Harmison all over again. #AUSvIND https://t.co/4ro0cdn0Tt

True that!
WHAT A BOWLER! Incredible from Bumrah. Previous delivery 140kph, wicket ball 111kph. #AUSvIND

Bumrah, you beauty! This was simply brilliant from the paceman! Smart is the word! Last ball before lunch and delivers a slower dipping yorker to trap Marsh right in front of the stumps. Marsh had no clue about that. This man is special! Australia are now four down and Marsh is gone for 19.
Jasprit Bumrah is finding a false shot with 26% of his deliveries, the highest figure for any bowler in this MCG Test. #AUSvIND

Rahane was seen talking to Jadeja, maybe advising him to pitch one or two deliveries outside off every over. The left-arm spinner did that in this over and might have created a doubt in Marsh's mind. He then went to that end after the conclusion of his over and had a close look at which area he can target.
Brilliant planning and top execution from the Indian bowlers so far #AUSvIND

49% of Jadeja's deliveries today have been pitched full; Lyon pitched 22% of his in that zone. The Indian has bowled 4kph quicker than the Australian - firing it through is working tidily for Jadeja. #AUSvIND

On this pitch the natural line of India’s bowlers, attacking the stumps much more than Australia’s quicks, should work a treat. Doesn’t hurt that Australia’s batsmen are playing so many shots. #AUSvIND

India bowling well like they have all series, putting the Aussies under pressure. Dig deep lads #AUSvsIND

Jadeja is making things happen! The first delivery went with the arm and beat Head's defence. Pant did well to removes the bails asap but Head managed to get his foot back on time. He then got one to turn big which just missed the inside edge of the bat. Indians were excited but rightly opted not to go for the review.
