Reactions to the SCG drama
 

09:33 (IST)

Play resumes. A group of 4 guys have been asked to leave their seats, escorted by security officials. Very unfortunate scenes from the SCG.

09:28 (IST)

Scenes from SCG

09:28 (IST)

A stoppage in play as Ajinkya Rahane complains to the umpires about crowd trouble. Not good scenes from the SCG. The umpires have a word with the security officials. Mohammed Siraj the player who has had issues.

09:24 (IST)

India vs Australia live score, AUS 301-5. Cameron Green is showing off his skills. Smashes Siraj for two huge sixes back to back. IPL teams watching? He's on 74 now. A century is a possibility? Or will Australia declare before that?

09:08 (IST)

India vs Australia live score, AUS 274-5. FIFTY for Cameron Green with some luck by his side. Pokes at a delivery from Bumrah and edges it just away from gully to reach the milestone. India have taken the second new ball.

09:03 (IST)

India vs Australia live score, AUS 270-5. Siraj and Saini bowling in tandem. Australia going nicely here. Green on the verge of a maiden Test fifty. Paine is enjoying some easy runs too.

08:45 (IST)

India vs Australia live score, AUS 258-5. The partnership between Tim Paine and Cameron Green has crossed 50. The lead is over 350. India waiting for a declaration. How much will Australia set? 400 perhaps?

08:34 (IST)

Bumrah been unlucky the whole series

08:29 (IST)

That's the drop

08:28 (IST)

India vs Australia live score, AUS 237-5. CATCH DROPPED. Rohit Sharma drops Tim Paine. Jasprit Bumrah unlucky. He has been very unlucky today. Got the nick, but Rohit puts down a simple chance at slip. And then Paine hits a couple of boundaries to rub it in.

08:15 (IST)

India vs Australia live score, AUS 220-5: Australia lead by 314 now. Ricky Ponting and Shane Warne believe it's too much for India already. In fact, Ponting says it will be difficult for India to score even 200. Can't disagree with him though.

08:00 (IST)

That's the hawk eye projection

07:59 (IST)

India vs Australia live score, AUS 208-5: WICKET - Steve Smith lbw Ashwin 81. Not given out on field, but Ashwin reviews. And three reds! Superb delivery. Loop, turning in from outside off, hitting Smith in the pad as he tries to defend. But a bit too late for India?

07:54 (IST)

India vs Australia live score, AUS 206-4: One boundary each in the overs bowled by R Ashwin and Siraj. All through the leg side. This is poor batting + great acceleration by Steve Smith. India just waiting for things to happen.

India vs Australia live score, AUS 194-4: Mohammed Siraj to start the second session. Steve Smith with a six and a four, both in the fine leg region. Sign of things to come? Australia going to go aggressive here.

07:03 (IST)

India vs Australia live score, AUS 182-4: So last over before lunch, and Ashwin would like to end with a wicket. A lot of runs have come in this session and two wickets as well. And Australia are 276 runs ahead, going into lunch.

India vs Australia, LIVE Score, 3rd Test at Sydney, Day 4: Hazlewood Removes Gill

India vs Australia, 3rd Test at Sydney, Day 4 Latest Updates - India 71-1: OUT! Hazlewood breaks the stand and Gill has to depart. The batsman edges one to Paine and is given out, with not even a review enough to save him.

Some fine bowling from the Australian pace bowling trio, poor running between the wickets by the Indian batsmen and the difference in positive intent between the middle-order of the two teams meant that Australia were on top at the end of Day 3 of the decisive third Test at the SCG. In an eventful day, where a lot happened on the field, the home team, at the close of play, were in the driver's seat at 103 for the loss of two wickets with their two best batsmen - Marnus Labuschagne and Steven Smith at the crease. The day resumed with India at 96 for 2 with Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara trying to get a move on after a very cautious start yesterday. However, after adding 21 in approximately 10 overs, Rahane perished in pursuit of getting some quick runs getting a bottom edge onto the stumps to a Pat Cummins' delivery which was too close to the wickets to play the cut shot.

Hanuma Vihari's agonizing stay at the crease came to an end after he was run-out attempting a risky run to mid-off with Josh Hazlewood hitting the stumps directly. Such was the slow nature of the Pujara-Vihari partnership that they added just 25 runs in close to 13 overs! Rishabh Pant came and accelerated the innings - India were in desperate need of some quick runs. He contributed 36 off 67 deliveries to the 53-run stand before perishing getting caught at first slip with the new ball. Pant had been struck on the elbow by Pat Cummins and did not look comfortable against pace thereafter in his innings. He was taken for scans after his dismissal. Pant's wicket opened the floodgates for India. Pujara followed in the next over - his overly cautious 50 off 176 deliveries (the slowest half-century of his Test career - came off 174 balls) did hold up an end for India but did not help the team's cause. India needed runs on a flat batting track and needed to show some intent in scoring - but Pujara continued to bat in his quintessential defensive manner which was counter-productive to what the team needed at that moment. Not only were the runs not coming, batsmen at the other end and the ones who followed were put under an unfair burden and pressure to score at a brisker pace resulting in their dismissals which included some unwarranted run-outs. India lost their last 6 wickets for 49 runs - the only saving grace was Jadeja's unbeaten 28 off 37 deliveries. There were two more run-outs in the innings with R Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah carelessly throwing their wickets away. The visitors were bowled out for 244 in the 101st over - they played 5 overs less than Australia but ended 94 runs short of their first innings' total! India's slow scoring rate and the run-outs was their nemesis in the first innings. Pat Cummins was the standout bowler for Australia. Not only did he take 4 wickets but also conceded just 29 runs off his 21.4 overs! These included 10 maidens.
